CTX 3030

The Minelab CTX 3030 is a professional, fully waterproof all-terrain metal detector for coins, relics, jewellery and gold. Its FBS 2 (Full Band Spectrum) technology transmits many frequencies at once, from 1.5 to 100 kHz, for greater depth and accuracy across varied soils, while Smartfind 2 two-dimensional FeCo discrimination plots each target by both ferrous and conductive properties on a full-colour LCD — so you can accept good targets and reject the rest with real precision. Built to go anywhere, the CTX 3030 is submersible to 10 ft (3 m), letting you hunt from dry ground through surf to fully underwater. Audio plays through the built-in speaker or the WM 10 wireless module (Wi-Stream low-latency), with adjustable Tone ID, target trace and target separation for picking individual finds out of trashy ground. Integrated high-sensitivity GPS records your hunts as GeoTrails, WayPoints, FindPoints and GeoHunts, all exportable to a PC and Google Maps with the free XChange 2 software. Ten customisable Detect Modes (including ready-to-use presets such as Coins, Beach, Relic, Silver and High Trash), Quick-Menu smart functions, auto and manual sensitivity, automatic ground balance and an assignable User button keep it fast in the field. It ships with the waterproof CTX 11″ Double-D Smart Coil, runs on a rechargeable Li-ion pack, weighs about 2.36 kg, offers nine interface languages and is backed by a 3-year manufacturer warranty.
