Finding gold with Minelab CTX3030

[Roel]

Is a Minelab CTX3030 sufficient to find some gold, or would you say that if one is serious about gold detecting that this detector - however good it is - has no place in it?

Not good for RAW gold in Australia...

Start with an SDC2300

Hi Roel.

Never used a CTX but have read on detectorprospector forum about a bloke in Queensland who does chase raw gold with his.
He sets certain programs up for it and has provided those programs here https://www.detectorprospector.com/files/category/1-detector-programs/

I can only imagine that it will not handle the mineralized ground anywhere near as good as a PI but if this is what you already have then its worth a try.

Im sure there is more info on DP about it - will try and locate it :Y:

No problem :Y:

Would be great if you could report back if you found those links of any use and if the programs worked for you out in the field.

Might help others thinking of dabbling with gold prospecting with their CTX.

Best of luck.
