Good job CD...as always! Your video validates why I own both machines. Beach and Land...two different worlds.

Soldier on...

No question at all which hits the target harder. Great vid.

Try slowing down your sweep speed with the ctx and see what you get . sube

DUDE....Geez, everything sucks compared to the Deus, yeah, we know....OMG!!!!

I did a fair test and compared the ctx to the deus for relics. Check the video out and tell me I wasn't on point about the ctx and deus. For relics the deus eats the ctx alive I will let the coinshooters debate about coinshooting and don't let me forget it also blisters the mackro racer 2..BTW I responed to your post over on the garrett forum too .

I respect the depth of the minelab stuff, but usually the old good stuff is mixed with iron.......and they just seem slow, and clumsy to me. Might just be an illusion?

The Dues is known for relics but a test garden is as useless as fishing waders with a hole in them. Real time hunting in undisturbed soil is the only real comparison. There used to be a man on here that knew more about detectors than anyone I ever seen on here. He always said learn you detector and learn it well and no one will out hunt you with any brand or model of detector. He said your a novice until you have 500 hours on any one detector. It's all in the sound.

I can give my wife a Deus and 40 hours practice and she can out hunt him all day with his ACE 250 in iron.

A man's capabilities is only limited by the machines capabilities and his IQ. A more modern machine has more capabilities and all the skills in the world can't make an old machine compete with new technology.

Rule #1, get ANY detector and take it outside and use it. You will find stuff.

Test gardens are useful tools to help train your ear on the sounds various targets give off and to help you test ways to unmask targets (i.e., they help you get to the 500 hours you speak of) and for troubleshooting your detector, so regardless of what you think of them for detector comparison purposes, they have their use. To be clear, I am not saying that 500 hours should come in a test garden, it should come in the field, I am just saying that it is a tool in the toolkit that can help with the learning curve on a new detector.

Test gardens are valuable tools once they age. A new test garden will tell you very little, but one that is several years old will tell you a lot.

I understand what you are getting at (halo effect, etc.). But a test garden doesn't have to be old to be a useful ear training tool. Not all desirable targets are 10" seated dimes or dropped minie balls. And even older targets are constantly being disturbed in farm fields or by modern construction. Again, what I am pointing to here are blanket, absolute statements like test gardens are useless or only aged test gardens are valuable tools. My point is test gardens can be valuable, regardless of age, depending on what you are using them for. If you want to know what a 10"minie sounds like sitting next to a nail, an older test garden will likely sound more like what you will actually encounter in the field (but yes it will not be spot òn, either - that's where the 500 hours of real swinging comes in to play). However, if you want to know what a relatively recently dropped gold chain bracelet in trashy ground will sound like or you want to try to differentiate the subtle tonal difference between nickels, pull tabs, and gold rings, you don't have to wait months after you bury them in your test garden to find out. And, yes, you may be able to accomplish your goal with air tests, too. Again, it all depends on your objective.
