Today I had about 2hrs to kill after I dropped my daughter off to school. I went back to the same area in an old well hunted LA park I hit last sat. This was my second park hunt with the CTX3030 and my 2nd park hunt in a long time. I wanted to see if last week was just a lucky day and also to try out my new grey ghost wireless headphones. I concentrated my detecting around old trees that had quite a bit of clald and what looked like old hard packed ground underneath. I managed to get a rosie, merc, wheatie and a pendant which I think is silver along with some clad hitiing the trees in the area. Im amazed that Those goodies are still there. So many great so cal detectorists have hit that park many times. I have hit that area many times before with my etrac. Im wondering if its the machine or is it me concentrating more with the ctx. I just feel like I can find more goodies now. But I do notice that the ctx seems faster and than the etrac and also seems to lock on and Id deep target better. The grey ghost wireless headphones worked well also. The sound is a little muffled not as crisp as my wired killer bee's but with the volume control and no wire I definately give them a thumbs up. I know the ctx has been out for years and everyone is raving over the equinox but I think that here in so cal old parks with tons of modern trash slow and steady FBS machines are still king. I may try my equinox 600 at these old parks just to see if its an FBS killer but my confidence is with FBS. My daughter love the 600 at the beach though, it does work well on wet and dry sand here on so cal beaches.
