Default test hunt with the ctx 3030

Will last Friday the Minelab dealer gave me a call and ask if Iwould to take the 3030 for some swing time. So now I thought were should I test this out. So I called on a old friend that has a old 1890ies house that is a flood irrigated lawn that I have hunt over and over the last five years with both the E-Trac and Fisher F-75. Targets are slim and few. Now I set the E-Trac and CTX3030 up the same both in two tone ferrous and everything else from pitch, gain , ect. ect. the same. Now I would start huntting and when I hit a target I would mark it and my hutting buddy Bruce would hit with my E-Trac,now I would have to move away about 10', for the two coils like to talk to each other Now both machines herd the hair beret and IH penny a 7" and the IH had the nail and bolt in the same hole. Thats why I LOVE TTF. Now the UP token was at 11" and the E-trac was only getting a low tone hit and 3030 was getting both low & high tone with color in the cursors. Thats a dig signal and pow a token and that sold me. That token could have been easly a 100 dollar token. Now on the balance of it, not bad thay have C.G just right and I think you can swing all day without your arm falling off. I'am realy like it and will be buying one soon. HH ETDIIGER
