My first silver!

[MrMikeJackie]

With the CTX 3030 that is. I'll be honest, it has been a little touch and go with this machine. A couple of times I wanted to wrap it around a tree. I reached out to other CTX users on another thread and words of encouragement got me out today to a new site. Using 50 tones I was able to understand the machine. A lot of deep older clad and wheats, knew it was a matter of time. We'll, 1245-1345 down 5 inches out pops a 1944 Washington. Woohoo! Thanks for looking, Mike

Some machines take a little more time than others to get use to. Nice job..

This is the toughest machine I have ever learned. Still making me scratch my head. But it does ring on good targets! I love to hate it.

That stinks it has been tough for you. For me it just seemed to click right away and I find the tones very Pleasing compared to most machines. Love the Target ID ability. I know you should dig it all since you never knowing but it sure is nice to know what a bottle cap is, I still dig about every tenth one to make sure!! Funny thing is I just bought a DEUS figuring it would complement the CTX but I can't run it for more than a minute or 2 and walk back to the car and get the CTX Keep with it.. you will love it soon enough.

Congrats on your silver. As you're from NY like me it's a shame you didn't go ahead and wrap the detector around a tree. Nobody in the NY area should by one of those CTX3030's. They are just too darn hard to figure out.

Being from NY makes me stubborn as a mule as well, LOL. So I will learn it and master it. A lot of guys here are making the switch let me tell you.
Did alot of turkey hunting in Brewster, beautiful place! Mike
