The Ultimate Metal Detector | Minelab CTX 3030
The Minelab CTX 3030 is without a doubt an excellent metal detector. While it is true that there are many great detectors on the market, the Minelab CTX 3030 happens to be my favorite detector hands down. When it comes to determining what makes a great metal detector in my opinion, I tend to focus on a few keys factors to help me rank them. First off, we always hear people say that we should never judge a book by its cover, but in this case, I do. Style, color, display, and the coil are one of the first things everyone sees when looking at a detector. Therefore, I too notice those things right away. The Minelab CTX 3030 is an incredibly good looking and stylish detector. I have found over the years that I tend to lean towards Minelab’s products when it comes to looks. I feel that they have done an excellent job with designing good looking detectors, coils, batteries, headphones, and more.
The next thing that I noticed about the Ultimate Minelab CTX 3030 was the way it feels in my hand. It’s like a handgun if it fits your hand good and is well-balanced, then often times you’ll find that gun to be a good fit for you. Well, the same goes for detectors, when I picked up the CTX for the first time, I did notice that it was a little on the heavy side but felt very well balanced in my arm. Because of the weight distribution, I was able to swing it comfortably and maintain a steady swing back and forth. It is true that it’s not the lightest detector you can buy, but for me, it fit and felt good to hold and I was wanting to see more.
A few more things that I noticed right away was the stock coil, shaft, and the battery. All three matched my expectations. The stock coil is a great size; 11” search coil and has a great look to it. The battery is well mounted and has easy access to replace it as needed throughout my treasure hunt. The shaft is one of the coolest ones I have seen on a detector. It is a hollowed-out, light-weight shaft that the coil wire runs through. The shaft helps to hide the wire that gives it a clean look and finish.
When I turned on the CTX for the first time, I was even more amazed by the little Minelab jingle that plays when it powers on. Even still today, I look forward to hearing that jingle because to me, it represents performance and adventure. The menu screen is easy to navigate through, and there are many different options and settings that you can simply change at any time. You can run the manufacturing settings, or you can get creative down the road and make it fully customizable. I particularly love the GPS locator function. The ground balance function is easy to use every time you turn it on, it’s just quick and easy. The target screen is amazing! Not only does it give you the easy to read target number, it also gives you the depth of the target with nice big numbers so you can clearly see everything very well. I really like the trigger pinpoint mode as well, within seconds you can push the trigger with your index finger and pinpoint your target very quickly.
It comes with a backlight, locality, it’s wireless, and there are many more menu options to choose from at your fingertips without hassle. The MODES options have great pre-loaded options like Coins, Beach, Jewelry, Silver, and much more. All in all, these are prime options for advanced detectorists and beginners too! Treasures in America has sold many CTX 3030’s to beginners; brand-new hobbyists that have never picked up a detector before. Many customers ask me what my favorite detector is, and I never hesitate to express my opinion of the CTX. I feel good about suggesting the CTX to beginners because it is so easy to use. It did not take me long to start swinging this detector without any problems. I was successful in finding treasures in my very first weekend of using it.
Two more things I want to bring up in this article to help paint the right picture for everyone are about technology and performance. Minelab hit the nail on the head with this one! I have owned it for over 3 years and it still amazes me how the performance and technology of this detector have helped me to find artifacts, coins, jewelry, and caches. That’s right, caches! The CTX 3030 made it easy to find small caches buried in the ground. I have found targets that were well over 14” deep and the CTX 3030 had a great signal and alerted me of the target just as well as it does with 4” or 6” inches in the ground. When you purchase the CTX, you get the detector, stock 11” coil with coil cover, headphones with a wireless transmitter, rechargeable battery pack with charging station, AA battery pack, and the owner’s manual. You are ready to go right away with everything you need to start.
Finally, there are many optional accessories you can purchase separately to increase the way the CTX 3030 works for you. Minelab offers the 17” DD coil, 6” DD Smart coil, and the CTX rechargeable battery, along with many other items for replacement, or in addition to your accessories. And don’t forget about Coiltek, they also make a couple of great aftermarket search coils for the CTX 3030 like the 10” x 5” coil. There are plenty of options to investigate once you’ve decided on the CTX 3030. Click on this link to see more.
Now that you have heard a little about the Minelab CTX 3030 and my opinion and knowledge of it, I am going to leave some more information below. Out of a 5-star review I would give the CTX 4.75 stars. This detector is truly one for you to investigate, and if the price tag is a little pricey, Treasures in America has 2 easy financing options that will let you make monthly payments. Our goal is to provide everyone with an opportunity to purchase and own the detector they’ve always wanted.
