    Minelab CTX3030 tips, settings, questions

    I would have been interested but it seems all is OK now thanks. I'll have to give it a test run or two to make sure it has a full charge in it I guess. I am going to wait until everyone gets back to work and leaves us alone .

    Well...there you go...pays to listen sometimes doesn't it :lol: ....I plugged it in an left it. It took about 6 hours but the flashing light turned to solid and it appears to have a charge. All good apparently. I still find it a bit strange that it doesn't get a charge in it in 2 hours but...

    New fellow.

    Greetings. Total newbie here. That new I don't even have a detector yet! :) I'm picking up a second hand Minelab CTX 3030 next week. I guess my interest will be more beaches, parks etc but hope to get the bug well and truly and will be open to suggestions. I have a well decked out 4bie with a...
