Metal Detecting

Ive only gone and bought a secondhand CTX3030 , cant wait until it arrives, love the idea of GeoHunt and onboard GPS and FindPoints etc, really looking forward to a hunt with it

Tina has inherited my Explorer II which she really enjoys using (shes always running off with it lol).

spending your ring reward allready

Haha LL i have been toying with the idea of buying one for a few weeks now - was gonna phone Joan Allens this afternoon after a browse on 3 sites that sell used stuff etc ... and found this one at a bargain price - how could i say no ?

No reward as yet lol

Good luck with it. Be prepared to dig some deep holes

its a giant step im waiting for a few more reviews etc as it does have known leaking problems im still using a explorer se at the mo minelab have come a long way since 1985

Lol Tomo - the Explorer II has me going deep already - whats max depth youve had from your 3030?

We have the X-Terra 705 (not used much), a backup Explorer XS, Tina uses an Explorer XS with SEF coil, my Explorer II has Tinas old Nel Tornado - one hell of a combo, we love the Minelabs, we have tried other but prefer Minelab, im also hoping to take the 3030 in rivers as i like snorkelling, hoping they dont leak but it seems theyre leaking due to not being cleaned after use (grit etc)?

Ill do a vid review of mine as im learning, itll also be good to compare targets with Tinas inherited Explorer II with that Nel coil

Nice one Paul, it's a cracking bit of kit.............great with the standard 11 inch coil but to optimise it I'd recommend eventually adding the other two as you progress. Welcome to the ever expanding throng

Looks around for Paul

Cheers Phil - do you see much difference with the other 2 coils? I can imagine the smaller is ideal for trashy areas, were mainly working in pasture/ploughed/stubble at the moment, hows the larger one compare in these areas compared to the standard one?

LoL!! When I typed Paul I meant Rob...................blame the high levels of analgesia I'm currently pumped full of (It gets me in all sorts of trouble)

I don't yet own the big farm gate sized coil myself (my next purchase) but can recommend the 6 incher for really trashy areas & nasty stubbly places where it's difficult to swing anything larger.........I've found that the seperation is absolutely amazing

Hehe no worries Phil, get well soon mate that Treasure is calling you

Ill keep an eye out for that larger coil ... after xmas tho lol
