Tock tock, New detector is "out for delivery" and I'm hyper about it.

Here I sit, no new detector.

UPS tracking states "out for delivery by end of day".

COME ON CTX3030!! I want to stare at you while I wait for 5 feet of snow to melt.

hey Medic, I know how you feel. . .

One of the best times of detecting is getting that new rig, the rest of the best times is swinging the coil and pulling out treasure!

Congrats on the new detector!

congrats!, I dont have the snow.....but 35 and cold rain is just as bad.

Well, IT ARRIVED!!!

I took some photos for posterity.

I have assembled the unit and quite honestly, Minelab's instruction "book" could use some better design/execution.

Things that "can only fit together one way" may actually go together in several ways and then get stuck.

I resolved the issue, but we'll see how it goes from here.

There it is in all it's glory!! And my boy grabbing the digging tool just as the photo was taken.

After playing with it for just a few minutes, I must say, I am QUITE impressed.

This critter has all sorts of bells and whistles to satisfy even the most tech savvy nerd.

Having read though the manual and played with it, I don't see why people claim the 3030 to be so difficult. It has a LOT of options that can be tweaked, but it is still considerably easier than an even basic computer.

Will there be a learning curve? Oh yes, multiple menus and buttons almost ensure it. But the royal PITA I was preparing for does not seem to come to fruition.

We'll see I guess.

I am waiting for the store I wish to deal with to get the AT Pro back in stock. Then I will order my toy, and a few other gadgets.

Awesome enjoy!!!

So far , so good.

I have been on the exchange (software for 3030) creating my own programs.

I am taking piles and piles of old nails, pull tabs, and other common junk and creating profiles which block the most common things.

So, here is a pic of the stock COINS program. Basically, you can see where Ferrous levels and Conductivity levels are visually represented. Anything that is dark blue is essentially blocked from making a signal. As you change the areas of interest, you can focus the 3030 onto whatever you want.



I am already just blown away by the options available to the end user. And I have only scratched the surface.
