Finally got my GPZ today from EE day in ballarat, and so begins my couple of months prospecting the golden triangle! I went out near Talbot today where I found a few small bits last year with the GPX, using the GPZ on factory settings for the first hour with the volume up a bit higher, then I...

FYI folks - Minelab CTX3030 Target IDs sorted in value order & target name order for your convenience. Minelab advice on the attached list (obtained from a mate) was "Yes ID's for the E-TRAC and CTX are very similar, if not identical". Hope these IDs are useful & any feedback/corrections would...
