What’s Included
Core Technology
FBS 2
Uses multiple frequency transmission and coil-to-detector data communication to find more targets in variable ground conditions.
Smartfind 2
Provides digital signal processing and precision FeCo discrimination with color target information for accurate target identification.
GPSi
High-sensitivity GPS helps accurately record detecting locations, waypoints, find points, and hunt paths.
Wi-Stream
Creates fast wireless audio with no loss of sound quality when used with compatible wireless audio accessories.
Full Color Display
The full-color LCD clearly displays more target information and enhances discrimination capability.
Waterproof Design
Waterproof to 10 ft / 3 m for land, beach, shallow water, and underwater detecting.
Quick Menus
Quick Menus give you easy access to on-the-go adjustments. Smart functions like Sensitivity, Noise Cancel, Audio, Ground Balance, and a customizable User button allow fast changes to your most-used controls while detecting.
Ultimate FeCo Discrimination
With Ferrous and Conductivity target resolution, plus adjustable Tone ID Profiles, the CTX 3030 helps you accept the targets you want and reject the rest.
Target Trace and Target Separation help identify multiple targets simultaneously for more accurate detecting results.
GPS Locating
Use the Map screen and Navigation Tool to see where you have been and where you are going. GeoTrails show the ground you have already covered, WayPoints mark points of interest, FindPoints mark treasure locations, and GeoHunts record your detecting adventure.
Wireless Audio
The CTX 3030 gives you the freedom to detect without your headphones being attached directly to the detector when using the WM 10 Wireless Module. You can use the built-in speaker, supplied headphones, or your own favorite headphones with the proper setup.
Ergonomic Design
The well-balanced design places battery weight behind the armrest for comfortable detecting. The detector is fully adjustable to suit your needs.
PC Mapping with XChange 2
Upload detector settings and treasure locations to your PC using the XChange 2 application. You can attach photos and text to finds, group finds into categories, view locations on Google Maps, and download data back to the detector for re-exploring favorite areas.
