First Gold And Silver With The CTX
Rivers rat replied to Rivers rat's topic in Metal Detecting For Jewelry
Thanks Fred and Steve I got the 17" but I was too sure of the beach...........also in UK the iron contamination is 2000 years old plus that may be difficult on some beaches but I am sure I will try it soon enough with a sand scoop as passed a certain depth I doubt the spade will do............regarding the depth reading I tjought they were accurate til now............................

Aloha i decided to hit the beach again this week did 2 session 1 of 3 hours at night and 1 of 2 hours the day after i start to have fun with the CTX no gold yet but i found most of the fishing wet at 1 foot and more laying on a hard clay layer sand was mixide with large stone i think i would have struggled with a sand scoop big time ....i am gonna keep using spade till i find a sandy beach total 1 british pound and 2 pence i guess there was no fresh gold....

I have been looking for a harness for a while for my CTX(1 session so far) and my Deepstar (not tested yet )Chest mounted i found the LOWEPRO : https://www.parkcameras.com/p/9360560H/straps/lowepro/sf-technical-harness-black?utm_source=googlebase&utm_medium=pricecomp&utm_campaign=GoogleShopping&gclid=Cj0KEQjwhpnGBRDKpY-My9rdutABEiQAWNcslP1y1qrz_LSuLvYr5F_0WtD_mOLdxAD0HT8-P3D0-hUaAoXM8P8HAQ I Bought because i can see the CTX is pretty heavy to move i bought the top part brand new and the lower part 2nd hand but cheap and like new found a bungee on my way to work cut the bungee to the right size and use the adjustable straps from the harness to secure the machine.i tested it 3h30 without problem......jus my 2 cents but once i found more gold i will think about other system......

Went to the coast this weekend did try my luck on once a popular spot, i was using my CTX for the first time and i max out everything machine was stable but i found jacksĀ£$t!!! I could feel that the machine is going deep but the spade i brought with me had a shaft which i didn't trust that much so i left a lot of target found 1 rivet 1 screw tap and 1 rusty piece of something.....the machine indicated target at 12" but i could reach them without breaking my spade and i had no spare.......well next time i will bring either a sand scoop or a better designed spade..
