Found My Garrett CX 3 Talking Metal Detector,Thought it was lost

[JohnnyThunders]

Funny I thought somebody took my garrett CX 3 Metat detector out of my garage last Dec,,,,,But I just found it at my Brothers house up in Montauk.Don't know how it got there....Very Happy at finding it,I only used to Twice lol
I wonder I really should use it a bit before buying another one.
But do places thats sell detectors take tradeins
And how much would i see if I traded it in?
But really I think since I only used it for about a total of 1 hour the most,Maybe I should use this and maybe upgrade when something new comes out....Johnny Thunders

Johnny,
I have a CX II that I have used for the past year. It is a good old machine and is extremely reliable. Try using yours in some prime locations ( schools. parks, old homesites) before you get rid of it. Most places will give you very little on a trade in because they will have a hard time selling it. If you really want to get rid of it, try selling it here on TNet.

yea i will keep it till Whites or garretts will replace their DFX and GTI2500...
I am sure its a good machine,,,,Since I only used it twice for about 1 hour total time,I should give it a chance......Thanks johnnyThunders

This wouldn't happen to be the JohhnyThunders from the Hamer forum would it? If so -- great to see you aboard here!

>>Treasure Dive Sites<<

You mean Hamer Guitars?
Johnny Thunders would never play a Hamer guitar if thats the site you are speaking about....JT

 

[flagold]

Ah Ha!

>>Hamer Fan Club<<

He has a lot of fans ("JohnnyThunders" etc., etc.,) on the site (whether you like the guitars or not).

If you ever want to know anything about JT you will need to ask me and not him.....
I have a Video from the fastlane in NJ in 1990 with lots of backstage stuff,that you can find on ebay every now and then......Wish I never loaned it out and now its everywhere lol...Johnny

 

[flagold]

That's not that video with this in it, is it?

If so, I'm sorry that got out too. To bad he ended up like many and won't be playing music on any make of guitar now. A shame.

as far as i am concerned the garrett grand master hunter cx 3 is one of the best units ever made...i would rate it a # 2 detector, bested only by the minelab ex 2.....despite its age it is still a top performer and with one there is not much need to purchase another....even today, near 15 years after they hit the market, garrett will do repairs/updates on them at little to no cost beyond shipping.......depth and descrimination qualities are still at or very near the best money can buy..........gldhntr

 

[gldhntr]

its even better once you turn off the teachers voice.............

as far as i am concerned the garrett grand master hunter cx 3 is one of the best units ever made..

I have to agree, far ahead of its time. I still have mine and would not get rid of it, even though I prefer the analog CXII (I) type meters. Agree on "treasure talk" as well -- turn that off.

 

[gldhntr]

i made the mistake of selling mine and have regretted it every since.......g

 

[flagold]

I did the same with my CXII -- agreed -- big mistake. I'll probably now buy another. As a plus for these units, the coils are excellent, numerous and well proven, you can use the groundhog unit, and be into a very powerful detector for a tiny fraction of the latest flavor of the month. They make a great "truck detector" (one you've got with you "in the truck" all the time) as they are virtually indestructable.

Well thought the CX3 was the best at the time when I bought mine.........Yea that annoying voice is shut offffffffed.....................JT

Well, since it talks, maybe it walks too. It's alive !!!

 

[littlehugger]

I feel the same way.
Far as Treasure Talk, I was cool with it, but it was a kid magnet that taught me the blessings of headphones.

 

[eldorado]

Well, as if I dont have enough detectors,, I just bought a cx3 on ebay.. I do have plans to use it,,really , with all these left alone they may start breeding,, ,, maybe I will look up metal detectors anonymous. looking foward to getting it I may have questions for you guys whom have used them in the past ,,

 

[A2coins]

Did your Brother borrow it after seeing all the cool stuff you were finding lol

 

[johnnytuinals]

Nope it was on top of one of his Mopar cars.
Could not believe he did not see it lol..
Just sold my Whites V3i with wireless headphones for $1000 that I bought New in 2014 but was
still New in the box.I was gonna use it but thought maybe Garrett or Whites might come out with something New?.....JT
