Hobby CTX 3030 Metal Detector Standard Pack

Product Information

All new FBS 2 technology combines Minelab's FBS multiple frequency rectangular-wave transmission (1.5 kHz –100 kHz) with advanced digital coil-to-detector communications. Ergonomic Design The well balanced design has all the battery weight behind the armrest for comfortable detecting.

The device is powered from a lithium battery, which full charge is enough for 11 hours of operation. If you turn of GPS and Wi-Stream the MD operation time increases sufficiently. FBS (Full Band Spectrum) technology is slightly different in that it pulses a kind of digital rectangular wave form into the ground ranging from 1.5KHz to 100KHz. The answer is very simple – using coils of smaller or larger diameter has always lead to imbalance. User’s hand would grow weary in a short period of time, but now the metal detector is much better balanced. Power supply When you are searching, the Detect screen shows you all the target information you need to find more treasure – you won’t miss anything! The color display, Ferrous and Conductivity numbers, numerical depth indicator, and sensitivity panel will give you more confidence to find those elusive good targets in heavily searched and high trash areas. The question is whether any better metal detectors have been designed recently? Well, the answer is yes and no. Of course, the company continues growing and it has created some new MD models.Minelab metal detector was the first one to get a large colored LCD display which is very good even if you use it in the direct sunlight. The device control unit is not portable and it is placed rather high on a carbon arm. Wireless Our current review is a follow-up to the previous article about the best metal detectors. Once you look through it you’ll see that CTX 3030 was called the best among all the reviewed metal detectors. These are for coin, beach, relic, silver hunting and for working on the ground littered with rubbish. For those who want to create their own search modes the device has 5 more channels. Balance Full Colour Display The full colour LCD clearly displays more target information than ever before and greatly enhances the CTX 3030's discrimination capabilities.

The 17 inch one is used for hunting around large areas (it searches 20% deeper in comparison with an ordinary 11″ coil), and 6-inch coil should be used on some littery ground. Noise elimination The CTX’s Full Band Spectrum technology bombards the ground with multiple frequencies ranging from deep seeking low frequencies from 1.5 KHz to the hyper sensitive higher frequencies for minute targets. However, the battery charge is still enough to perform continuous operation during a whole light day. Multi-frequency metal detectorThe CTX 3030 boasts some respectable credentials. It’s fully submersible up to 3m (10 feet) deep, has low latency wireless head phones via Wi-Stream, GPS location via GPSi and a colour screen. When using any common metal detector in this case you’ll clearly see just the nail since it’s heavier and its mass will just hide the coin lying next to it. Ground balance function These include Coin, Relic, Jewellery and Beach modes which are all endlessly adjustable. Minelab’s R&D boffins have set these up after much field testing so they are good. It doesn’t seem to be rather significant benefit, but only if English is your mother tongue. Nevertheless, just imagine trying to get through the adjustment process, if you don’t speak English and live overseas.
