CTX madness 2018

[golddiggerart]

Another awesome swing mate... Ring a ding ding,...... :Y:

Hit the beach this morning and to my absolute disgust the CTX switched straight off again..... I've never had it switch straight off before, hope my battery isn't totally dead, I only bought it a year ago to replace the last one that died, will chuck a tantrum if it is dead. Well maybe not a tantrum but.... won't be happy.

So I went home to put it on charge and thought I'd go cash in my coins. Not a bad cash in but not the best either, wish I could stop digging 10 and 20 cent coins but will be missing gold if I do that.

That's almost enough for the Nox 600 at Anaconda :Y:
But probably better off with the 800

 

[Heatho]

Cheers fellas, am buying a Nox 800 from Nenad this week. That's a good chunk of it paid for, pretty sure the Nox will pick up the rest in no time. :Y:

Yeah amazing how quick the total grows when you have a new machine in your hands. Mine is 3 weeks old nearly $400 and 20 odd silvers, no bloody Florins though.

 

[Heatho]

Geez mate, really hope you can break the florrie drought, theres gotta be one somewhere with your name on it.

So keen to get my Nox now and go over my silver spots and see what the CTX missed, not much I reckon, but I bet there are some.

I've got some very trashy sites here where I'm sure it will pay, the poor CTX on these sites gets a bit confused.

 

[Heatho]

Just ordered my Nox soooo hopefully later this week I can give it a good test run, keen as mustard now. :lol:

That's a nice total mate and I hear you with the 5c 10c ....

 

[Heatho]

Thought I'd better get the CTX out for a beach detect this morning, hit North Steyne at Manly for a couple of hours, that 17" coil is like swinging a besser block..... The Nox is just sooo light in comparison. Anyway after the shock from the weight I settled in and covered way more ground than would be possible with the Nox.

Coins are from the last Nox hunt as well as this CTX one, most coins were from this morning though. I specced the chain sitting on top of the sand, it's a junker and was discrimed out by the CTX, the tiny ring is sterling and the CTX pinged it at quite a respectable depth.

 

[ktmman]

How's the shoulder holding up after today's hunt? Chain still looks shiny even if it is just junk.

 

[Heatho]

Shoulder is pretty good, really wish the CTX didn't weigh so much, anyway will still keep using it on the beaches. Really thought the chain was a good one at first but definitely isn't, the Nox picks it up from about 20cm away but it's a -5 signal, way down in the ferrous range.

Yeah, gotta watch for that pain.... we don't wanna see a sports injury with associated loss of income hey ! 8)
imagine the loss

Yeah exactly mate, but to be honest I feel like I've been slacking with the Nox, the CTX gives me a good workout and helps keep me fitter, gotta use it more.

 

[ctxkid]

i have a titanium swing shoulder and use a ctx everyday

Yeah exactly mate, but to be honest I feel like I've been slacking with the Nox, the CTX gives me a good workout and helps keep me fitter, gotta use it more.

Yeah I'm hearing ya, the fitness level for me goes down too with my lack of hunting... andwhen I do hunt, for me the Ace seems to get heavier as I age lol... (like me) :lol:

Back on the CTX? That's a nice haul...

Nothing seems to get lighter as we age lol..... That's why I try to hunt several days a week, it does give me a bit of exercise trudging around the beaches.

Thanks mate, yeah I love the CTX. I've pretty much got the Nox sussed out and don't want the CTX getting too dusty.

Just need Minelab to combine both of them now.
