A detector that sits in the closet aint gonna find squat!
The Minelab BBS and FBS detectors are different from most other detectors and anyone that has used one in the past
and did not like it should not expect to like the new CTX 3030 any better.
I remember all the complaints about the sovereign when it first hit the market.
"Sounds like 25 cats under a wash tub" some said.
Some hated it ... some loved it.
Thank goodness there are so many detectors for the hobbyist to choose from.
I have had just about every BBS and FBS model Minelab made because I like the way they work for the type of hunting I do.
(mostly beach and salt water)
I expected no less from my new CTX-3030 and have been very happy with it.
For park hunting and coin shooting I choose the Dues ... Night and day difference but IMHO the best tool for the job.
Most all parks and school yards are hunted out and what is left is masked and difficult to ID.
So I guess my point is ... no one detector is gonna please everyone ... swap out and move on to something you like better.
