Has anyone seen the silicon seal for sale again ? A friend got one off ebay a year or so back now looking for one for myself.

COme on Joe, need to see you test some gold (please) chains, rings etc.

ok, seems a long time away. Its been a strange year for detecting, only just getting back onto (the deserted) beaches where I am. I was doing so well first part of year before everything shut. I use a CTX3030 and excal II with Nel coil on.

Interesting. SO when will it be available in Europe ?

I hope to have mine next week

Understandable 🙂 Much better marketing than minelab on the vanquish toy.

When will it ship ?

We shall see. Release has been delayed a week or so to do some final tweaks.

Release to pre orders is supposed to be next week (wk 9th sept)

No lubricant should be used on the battery seal. Even silicone grease will degrade the seal after 6 months. The new batteries with rubber edging work great. Just ensure there is no sand/grit in the grove before reinserting battery.

If only. I have 3 detectors just for sea hunts, each do different things. At one time I had 2 CTX3030's but that is a different story.

I always now do a close visual on battery to bulkhead join when putting battery on to ensure there is no gap.

Agree the terra is a bit long in tooth these days.

Perhaps that thread should be moved out of prospection section and into minelab ?

The ctx gets most gold chains, the really thin ones not but the EQ needs to be right on top of it and the chain needs to be on surface, even then the EQ signal is weak.
