Dances With Doves Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 With the Nox able to bring great results at $899 plus being waterproof it seems many think the CTX is not worth the extra money or to steep a price to pay for a detector.I would jump on one at 1200 though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kac Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 Weight is the issue for me not the heavy price. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since my buddy Clad Hopper has become one with his Nox he has not gone back to his heavy explorer 2 /Sunray probe combo.He says it feels to heavy now after hunting with the lighter Nox.

Dances With Doves Posted December 24, 2020 Author Share Posted December 24, 2020 With a new Nox/Fbs type machine in the works as by word from Tom D. . Many might be saving up for that which probably would be $1500 plus. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kac Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 Rather spend that kind of money on a nice PI with gb. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMM1869 Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 I definitely would . Was considering one, but for the price difference, went to the NOX 890 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chase Goldman Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 Nope. It basically does one thing really well (slays silver with its super precise TID at depth), other than that, heavy, slow, not that great in iron and with mid conductors, and unnecessarily complicated UI. Plus, the price drop would probably signal the imminent release of the Multi IQ variant which brings speed, versatility, and perhaps a lighter overall package. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dances With Doves Posted December 25, 2020 Author Share Posted December 25, 2020 If I had to guess and Minelab brings out a new Multi IQ variant that is superior to the Nox by a wide margin I would guess $2000 would be the cost for it.I would hate to be short on funds for it because I bought a other machine.I bet this machine could be out before the close of 2021. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
palzynski Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 Even at 200 I would not jump for a CTX , I do not like boat anchors ... ? Wish everyone a nice Christmas ... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest calabash digger Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 What they said above...It is a boat anchor.I bought a mint one like new for a 1000.00 to try relic hunting with it a few years back.... WEIGHT....killed my neck and shoulders. Great audio etc ...bad ergonomics design...I would not take it to hunt with one if someone gave to me. I do have a question...How much better is the CTX and ETRAC on deep silver than the Equinox? I have not see a silver in my garden that those two will hit and the Equinox cant. I get the ID part but how many 11 inch silver dimes does one find in his or her career? BTW I got a 11 inch silver seated being dug on tape with my Equinox....Did I know it was a silver coin before I dug it?? NO WAY.... I would like to see a couple live digs with the ETRAC and CTX on a 11 inch seated dime where the operator calls it before he or she digs it... To my knowledge there is no videos like that.... How much better is the question?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
