    CTX3030 or ETRAC

    yeh phase tech good point, but in the e-trac's favour is that you have alot of coils to pick from which is a key difference between the 2 detectors.In my books id rather have better coil selection on my detector than all those bells and whisles the ctx has.4 coils just aint cutting it imo...

    Seeking advice with choosing between MXT Pro and X-Terra 705

    The best Philosophy is to listen to someone who has been there and done that ,a major mistake is thinking you know better cause you watched a few you tube videos or read this or that.

    Seeking advice with choosing between MXT Pro and X-Terra 705

    A Minelab Sovereign GT is one of the easiest detectors to learn, as a beginner you are going to dig trash no matter what detector you own its part of learning the machine and what the tones are telling you. All the detectors I mention are user friendly, just some people are not taking metal...

    It is best to save up a bit longer and get the best detector, then to get a cheaper detector (single frequency ) that's going to miss a heap of good finds in the black sands. A great starting off detector would be a Minelab Sovereign GT there going used on ebay/gumtree for around the same price...
