Minelab CTX 3030
This professional detector brings everything together in one unit: a full-color LCD and an integrated GPS system (GPSi) that records where each find was made and the route you searched, so the data can be reviewed later on a computer. Multi-frequency FBS 2 technology (1.5 to 100 kHz) works with the Smartfind 2 system to show ferrous and conductivity discrimination visually. It is also waterproof to 3 meters, offers wireless audio, and stores portable settings through XChange 2 software — a detector aimed at serious collectors who want a record of every find.

This professional detector brings everything together in one unit: a full-color LCD and an integrated GPS system (GPSi) that records where each find was made and the route you searched, so the data can be reviewed later on a computer. Multi-frequency FBS 2 technology (1.5 to 100 kHz) works with the Smartfind 2 system to show ferrous and conductivity discrimination visually. It is also waterproof to 3 meters, offers wireless audio, and stores portable settings through XChange 2 software — a detector aimed at serious collectors who want a record of every find.
The CTX 3030 is Minelab's most advanced all-around detector, pairing multi-frequency FBS 2 technology with Smartfind 2 discrimination for reliable results across every soil type. A full-color LCD screen gives you a clear readout for every target.
The built-in GPSi system logs GeoTrails, WayPoints, and FindPoints with high accuracy, so you can retrace productive ground and return to it later, with data exportable to Google Maps via XChange 2 software.
Wi-Stream wireless audio through the included WM 10 module keeps response instant, and Koss UR30 headphones are included as well. The detector is fully waterproof to 3 meters (10 feet), with a comfortable design that positions battery weight behind the armrest.
Five preset search modes cover 20 customizable discrimination patterns (two per mode), while Target Trace separates multiple overlapping targets — such as iron next to a coin, or a coin against mineralized ground — for greater accuracy in cluttered sites.
