Failed 2 Weeks of Treasure Hunting in Thailand: Leaked CTX3030(again) and other disap

[DrunkBrother]

Hi all,

Had a last minute discussion to join another treasure hunter for 2 weeks of detecting.
Research of locations was pointing that there is a constant traffic of tourists all year long with good target replenishment even if hunted by locals.

Our trip contained 3 main areas :

A: Sheraton Krabi Beach Resort Nong Thale Krabi Thailand
B: Le Meridien Khao Lak Beach & Spa Resort, Takua Pa District, Phang-nga, Thailand
C: Le Meridien Phuket Beach Resort, 29 Soi Karon Nui, Tambon Karon,Amphur Muang, Phuket, Thailand

On top of that we planned to go around to different hotels (there are dozens of hetels stretching on the coastal line)

Please Enjoy a Video i've made about my Adventure :



Hope the next one will be better

Too bad about the machine, leakage has been it's main downfall. I'm really surprised they haven't done something by now to correct the issue.

I really enjoy your post, seems you are always touring some of the neatest places. Every time I see you guys hunting that flat clear water it brings about admiration and it keeps me inspired.

Sorry to here that about your 3030, mine's been in the water and haven't had a leak, it's been submerged at least 50 times so far, make sure your port cap is tight.

Wow, nice video. CTX 3030 has too many leak problems to trust on long trips though. Beautiful beaches however.

DB, that is heartbreaking!

I'm sorry that the machine let you down.

The places that you visited are beautiful! Thank you for sharing

I hope that you will get the CTX up and running, humming, and "pinging" very soon

Interesting video. I was looking at the CTX 3030 a couple of weeks ago at Kellyco. Awesome machine, but I was concerned about repair issues if it leaked. Machine would have to ship to Chicago for any repairs under warranty. When my Excal II leaked at the battery cable connector (post-warranty), Barry at Kellyco was able fix it on site in about an hour, and I was back at the beach the same day.

DB, maybe it was karma.........i.e., a reason not to stay any longer.
