All too often I hear the detector mentioned as toys? By the way many complain about about the faulty craftsmanship of the CTX, I feel as many treat it as a toy? Almost four years using my $2000 TOOL, in almost every condition possible, from rain to snow, from fresh to salt water and not a single issue with the machine. The cheap koss headphones, that's another story.
Think of it as a tool, a pretty expensive tool at that. If treated with care, this tool will help you find goodies other tools just can't find.
Good luck.
People sometimes call it a toy because we get pleasure from using it, and it's not necessary for daily living, careers, or even part time jobs. It's used as part of a hobby, so yes, it IS a toy. It's just a toy that is very versatile, and can more than pay for itself with use and understanding.
