Key Features

Multi-Frequency

Boasting of improved technology, this model delivers improved efficiency when compared to its peers. The FBS2 technology allows it to search for valuables with up 28 frequencies that are stretched from 1.5 to 100 kHz. This offers better performance on highly mineralized soils. This feature also eliminates the interruption of other frequencies, boosting its performance. Moreover, the advanced technology delivers sufficient results for large and small targets as it maintains a constant search depth even in complex soils.

Improved Target Identification

The CTX 3030 also offers improved target identification. The Smart Find2 technology target metals according to not only their conductivity but also their inductivity. This delivers results that are more precise when it comes to identification of the metal type. Additionally, this unit also ranges the targets according to distinctive parameters. These include conductivity and iron content. Besides, this unit also uses discrimination masks that enables it to find a target with the set iron content value and inductivity. What’s more, this unit comes with five discrimination modes that have preset Fe-Co and ground balance settings. The search modes include the beach, coins, relics, silver, and high level of litter.

High Quality Construction

Truly, Minelab CTX 3030 doesn’t come cheap. So as you would expect this model is built to the highest standards. Besides being crafted from premium materials, this unit comes with a matte finish, which gives it an attractive look. When it comes to comfort, this model is well balanced with its weight distributed along the arm. This minimizes fatigue, especially when using it for prolonged periods.

FeCo Discrimination

Generally, the discrimination ability of a metal detector determines its identification performance. A model with better efficiency offers precise results when identifying a high-value metal from junk. This model analyses both the conductive and ferrous properties of a target and display the result on its LCD. Best known as Fe-Co discrimination, this unit ensures better results when it comes to the classification of targets. Additionally, this unit has improved pinpointing mechanism that increases the animation of the target as you move the detector close to it.

Our Verdict

Some of the best features we love about this unit are that, despite the advanced functionalities, the Minelab CTX 3030 is not complicated for beginners. You simply need to turn it on, and it will do the rest. This is made possible by the different automatic functions, improving your experience. Unfortunately, similar to any other products, models that come with advanced features tend to be expensive. This is the same case with CTX 3030. It is also heavy but is balanced weight and ergonomic design makes it comfortable on your hand.
