G'day all, i am new to this forum, and i am in need of a lot of tips on how to use my CTX3030 to its best ability. Currently i dig for everything as i do not understand the readings or the indicator on my display, so if anyone could point me in the right direction it would be great.

Welcome aboard. I don't use a CTX3030, but just starting out with a new detector there are a couple of things that are basic.

First off, read the manual for at least having a idea of what the various functions do.

Secondly, lay various denominations of coins out and scan over each for getting an idea of what each read and sound like.

Third, until you get familiar with the 3030, just hunt in the pre-set modes. (I'm assuming it has pre-sets).

Learn it and from what I know of the 3030, it is great coin hunting unit. Good luck and I'm sure others will chime in, HH jim tn

Welcome to the forums Luhan !

I think dig it all is a great way to learn as well as not miss ( I can't believe I write this so often but hate to hear it in the "wild" ) finding ANYTHING GOOD !😉

I also don't have 1st hand experience with the 3030 but plenty of us here sure do ! ( I'm swinging one of it's brothers though)

In the meantime here's a link or two to get you to different places on the forums to read up.   Don't be intimidated by how much you find to read ! One bite at a time is the WTG and just ask questions when it gets too mysterious..🤯

This one is part of "Steve's Clues" specific to the 3030.

Some of our 3030 savvy members will probably chime in before too long.

You might get more immediate answers if you also post your request in the MineLab forum where more will likely see it. That will also help by keeping all the 3030 info together for future new owners.👍

Before you leave the welcome thread post more about where you are detecting and what you are looking for ( relics , coins , yellow rocks....) and where you like to hunt (beach , woods  etc.)  

Some of us also enjoy the occasional pic of finds or just the local scenery. 

 

Keep at it and remember research is the key to finding the better spots to hunt.
