Been swinging detectors for 38 years,
your funny, sorry but I have been running a Etrac , and f75 for years, didn't know he had a CTX3030, my apology to him, so far I haven't seen anything the CTx3030 get's that Terry doesn't get with his E-trac, ,as far as Water hunters, I haven't seen any Ctx3030 guys get anymore gold ,than the Excalibur, Cz21 , cz20, and the Df guy's get, but the CTX3030 guys have had the seals leak in the water, they are only good to 10 ft , mine 200ft, happy hunting
For your info , it was a Euro Tec pro 8 inch and 11dd that I just recently got for hunting in Bad areas instead of running high end say a etrac at 1500.00 if I get robbed its a 300.00 machine with performance of a mid grade with a iron volume reduction option, GET IT WRIGHT
Here was my 1st machine probably before you were born 1976, but maybe not
