QuoteOut of curiosity why is that? 40+ years and I'd say easily owned over 30 detectors and I've never had a detector go bad. As long as it is guaranteed to be working when I buy it I'm pretty...

Most warranty covered defects or issues usually pop up in the early usage of the items so if it's a working unit I agree the chances are not good for problems unless it turns out to be something...

Get you a 17" coil and be impressed all over again. Great Finds! Congrats!

Best I've ever heard (and personally know/trust who is telling me) on a new one is 2k OTD with local pickup. But contact a bunch of the dealers and see what they can do for you.

Sounds good guys. I'm in contact with two dealers right now. One without warranty and one with about 8 months left all in the same ballpark price-wise and both less than the one I originally asked...
View ArticleRe: Wow People are Devoted to their Detectors!
I could see the dealer saying that, maybe correctly, if you were doing a specific type of detecting. Seems like most people say the Deus does better in really heavy iron but that the CTX is better...

Good luck, Only you can weigh the 'upgraded' CTX with full warranty at full price vs all the various degrees of age/use. And whatever you do, you win by ending up with a CTX!

I downloaded that but xchange2 wont load it for some reason. Is this the smooth audio program you used and showed how to set it up in one of your videos a couple years ago?
View ArticleRe: 2nd time CTX 3030 - 2 gold
Yes, I made sure it was the newer seal and cuff lock. I usually only hunt up to waist deep and that's only on occasion but for the price it should be waterproof as marketed. Slim pickings today as the...
