I hear a lot of chatter about the new CTX 3030 and thought I would put in my 2 cents worth, which doesn't mean much. I remember in 1993 or there abouts I purchased a Minelab Excalibur. Excited as I was I ran to the beach and tried it out. WOW, did I have problems with all the wierd sounds, I was getting frustrated and confused. All the guys I knew that bought one said they were sorry and it was not a good detector. Well, it was new technology we were not used to. I learned the sounds, threshold changes when over targets and what not to do. Several others did the same, as word spread how to use it and how the sounds change suddenly it became the greatest machine ever to most of us.
My hunting buddy just purchased a CTX 3030 and I saw he had some problems, I told him to call someone who is successful using one so he could understand it better. He followed my advise and got valuable information on how to REALLY SET IT to do what he wanted. He now rejects pennies and other items without losing the desired. My suggestion is to get help and not give up and say it is a piece of junk.
As far as price goes why do some of us drive BMW's, Cadillac's and others drive Yougo's and Hundai's. They all get you to where you want to go. If you want something that will get you a better return in my opinion it is worth it if you can afford it.
HAPPY HUNTING!
