Iv taking the plunge and ordered a ctx .I have decided to keep my etrac just in case I dont like the upgrade.

Yep, same(or very similar) settings as the E-Trac, Deemanndeemann1 wrote:Iv taking the plunge and ordered a ctx .I have decided to keep my etrac just in case I dont like the upgrade.

Congrats and good luck with the new machine. I'm considering upgrading to the CTX from the Minelab Ex 2 so I'll be interested to hear what your thoughts are once you get some hours under your belt.

The more I see posts like this the more it makes me want to upgrade from my explorer SE pro - I really should stop watching all those you tube videos!! The wife has given me the green light to get one..... (seeing as she spends £1000's on her horse (her hobby) each year it was easy to convince her. I didn't even have to tell her it'd probably pay for itself over a year or two (yeah right!!
) Question is do I actually take the plunge, does it really make a big difference over the explorer?
I detect on a lot of highly mineralised iron infested sites, I'm hoping with the CTX it would open these sites up a bit more.

This video gives a good idea re what the CTX can do in iron infested sites.felixferal wrote:The more I see posts like this the more it makes me want to upgrade from my explorer SE pro - I really should stop watching all those you tube videos!!

The ctx is a great machine if given time, i use Gordons 17" ctx programme its a low tone for iron and any other tone dig, works really really well on iron infested sites
, i ahem not tried this etrac setting you guys speak about is it a wide open pattern then with conductive tones, any more info so i could try it
