Go Detecting Anywhere with the CTX 3030
Nenad Lonic explains the waterproof features of the CTX 3030 and provides some tips about how to prepare the detector for use in water. The CTX 3030 can be fully submersed in water up to a depth of three metres in both fresh and salt water. Waterproof headphones are available as an optional accessory as well as two waterproof smart coils; CTX 06 (6-inch coil) and CTX 17 (17 x 13-inch coil).
Main Features
Waterproof
You can go detecting anywhere with this versatile TREASURE detector.You have the flexibility of land and underwater detecting as the CTX 3030 is waterproof
to 10 ft (3 m).
Wireless Audio
Have the freedom to detect without your headphones being attached to your detector.With the WM 10 Wireless Module you have the choice of using the internal speaker, supplied headphones or your own favourite headphones.
FeCo Discrimination With Ferrous (Fe) and Conductivity (Co) target resolution, plus adjustable Tone ID Profiles, you can detect the targets you want to and ignore the rest.
With Target Trace and Target Separation, you can identify multiple targets simultaneously for accurate detecting results.
GPS Locating See where you have been and where you are going by using the Map screen and Navigation Tool.New GPS functions, such as GeoTrails, WayPoints, FindPoints and GeoHunts, allow you to leave your handheld GPS at home!
PC Mapping
Upload all of your detector settings and treasure locations to your PC using the XChange 2 application. Attach photos and text to your finds, group them into categories. View the locations on Google Maps. You can also download data to your detector for re-exploring favourite areas.
Full Color Display The full colour LCD clearly displays more target information than ever before and greatly enhances the CTX 3030's discrimination capabilities.
Quick Menus give you easy access to 'on the go' adjustments. Smart functions (Sensitivity, Noise Cancel, Audio, Ground Balance) and a customisable User button allow fast changes to your most used controls while detecting.

Functions
For quickly accepting or rejecting
a detected target, the Identify function saves you time and effort! Edited patterns are automatically saved within your current Search Mode. Auto
accept/reject discrimination features are also available for fast pattern editing using sample targets.
Target Trace displays many detections per second to offer greater visual detail of a target's identity. Multiple targets are displayed as colored hot spots, or streaks, accross the Detect Screen - turning everyone into experts. Choose to have on or off while detecting or during pinpointing.
Tone ID Profile select and adjust detecetion audio tones so you can clearly hear the differences between valuable 'accepted' targets before deciding to dig. Eight Tone ID Profiles are available. Audio responses can be matched with FeCo discrimination patterns for maximum versatility.
Ferrous-Coin Separation separates ferrous (iron) targets from coin-like targets to improve the identification of coin-like targets that are in very close proximity to ferrous targets. Find the treasure others have missed!
Ground-Coin Separation separates ground signals from coin-like targets to improve the identification of coin-like targets that are affected by ground signals. This greatly improves the stability of good targets in mineralized ground.
When you are searching, the Detect screen shows
you all the target information you need to find more treasure – you won't miss anything! The colour display, Ferrous and Conductivity numbers, numerical depth
indicator and sensitivity panel will give you more confidence to find those elusive good targets in heavily searched and high trash areas.
Low conductive and high conductive coins
High conductive coin and ferrous trash
Low conductive coin and ferrous trash
Erratic Target Trace indicating rusty junk
When you want to check treasure locations or ground
you have covered, the Map screen shows you the way – no need for a separate GPS! The GeoTrail displays the path where you have been so you don't waste time
detecting the same ground twice. Use WayPoints and FindPoints to create your own treasure map.
Navigation Tool Use the Navigation Tool to guide you to the next detecting site. No need to use a separate GPS device. Use the direction and distance indicators to locate where you finished detecting yesterday/last week/last year. Navigate to WayPoints you have created on Google Maps and downloaded to your detector. Go back to a previously marked FindPoint to search for more treasure.
For recording find locations and entire treasure
hunts, the Store function does it all! WayPoints are used as general position markers to easily navigate to your favourite locations. FindPoints capture
location, detector and target data for storing details of your treasure finds.
WayPoint is used just like in other GPS devices. Each WayPoint comprises of time and location data. You can use WayPoints to mark general locations of interest and for navigating to detecting areas. One hundred WayPoints can be stored in the detector.
FindPoint brings together all of the important information you need to know about your treasure finds. WayPoint data is combined with target data and detector settings, at the time of discovery, to create a FindPoint. One hundred FindPoints can be stored in the detector.
GeoTrail is a colored trail on the Map screen which shows where you have been detecting. You can be confident that no ground has been left unsearched. The GeoTrail changes color when being recorded as part of a GeoHunt.
GeoHunt is made up of your GeoTrail and any WayPoints and FindPoints you mark along the way. A GeoHunt is displayed on the Map screen and can be placed onto Google Maps to record you successes and plan your next hunt. Ten GeoHunts can be stored in the detector.
Mode
Choose from 10 customisable Search Modes. Five of these modes are preset to get you started (Coins, Beach, Relic, Silver and High Trash). Each Search Mode has two adjustable discrimination patterns.
Display
Customise the Map and Detect screens to display the information you want see. (E.g. Large ID Panel, Navigation Tool, Sensitivity Panel and GPS coordinates.)
GeoStore
Easily access and sort your detecting and location data for quick reference in the field. View the details and navigate to your saved WayPoints, FindPoints, and GeoHunts.
Options
Set up your detector for the most convenient operation with your preferred options. (E.g. Wireless, Backlight, GPS, Locality, Time Zone and measurement Units.)
On / Off
Also gives options for language selection and detector reset.
Sensitivity
Manual and Automatic Sensitivity options to maximise detection depth in all ground conditions.
Noise Cancel
Manual and Automatic Noise Cancel options to minimise external interference. This ensures faint target signals can be heard.
