fogrider Posted December 30, 2023 Author Share Posted December 30, 2023 Thanks for the feedback, everyone. I'm 65, and just got back into the hobby a few years ago after a 40 year hiatus (my last detector was a BFO White Coinmaster 5000). I swing a CTX now, so I have to keep the speed down, or the porker will damage my shoulder, even with the Minelab harness. I had a Nox 600 for a 1/2 season, and it could handle fast swings very well, but the CTX seems to process signals slowly, so low-and-slow is the way to go. I run "long" response, and there's a magic swing speed that works well. I also tend to hunt smaller areas (schoolyards, community halls) with no time limit, so I feel that coverage is more important than speed. However, I now see the usefulness of covering ground quickly when searching large fields, looking for hot spots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
