CTX 3030 - Superfreak!

[RocknRoll]

Hi All,

I just got my CTX 3030.....1 night of dirt fishing and one morning at the beach. Really liking this but my arms are now dead. It's gonna take a while to get used to the screen output numbers....already know what a penny reads now.

I have a 17" coil set up. I was a little Leary of going too deep in the waves.....it was a little difficult with the surf.

Anyways....got the normal assortment of coins, one Wheatie, trash, crap jewelry and a small silver toe ring. Didn't know I found a Superfreak Bottle opener until I got home....I wonder if this belonged to Rick James?

Still looking for my 1st gold piece.

Ran the standard beach settings. If anyone has any suggestions or tips for the beach (I'm in New England) let me know.

I plan to do a lot of beach hunting.....hopefully some more land hunting too.

Happy hunting!

Congratualtions on the CTX purchase, those Minelabs are heavy buggers

You did manage to find a few keepers, keep up the good work!

You may want to pickup a Minelab 45 pro harness I have the CTX and it has taken a load off my arm.

Agreed. I can't imagine hunting without it

I run no discrimination Auto +2 on the NC beaches. I find my 17" gives false signals in the saltwater. Congratulations and happy hunting!

Thanks for the info! I think I screwed up today....so used to my Whites DFX tones that I think I passed over a lot of low 12s.

Live and learn.

Congrats on your CTX! Looks like a active hunt. You will learn the machine soon and then you should be able to snipe.
