fredmason Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Good finds! You might consider the 17 inch coil for your ctx...of course the depth readings are unreliable but it will go deep... fred 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Herschbach Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Glad you finally scored with the CTX. I do like the 17" myself for beach work in particular. It really helps when faced with huge areas to cover. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rivers rat Posted April 21, 2017 Author Share Posted April 21, 2017 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............................

fredmason Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 The depth is calibrated to the stock 11 inch coil...I have not found the 17 inch to be as reliable. It does not matter to me, if it is a "good" signal Then I dig it. The ground coverage is what I like about the 17 inch. I use the swingy-thingy and sometimes I also hook-up the Hipstik...I look like an alien swinging all that...but, who cares? fred 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Tnsharpshooter Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 Nice finds. Thanks for sharing. I wished I had been into detecting when I lived in UK back in 2001-2003. I sure missed out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Gillespie Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 One of my hunting buddies uses the CTX, he always seems to beat us out with more finds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
