hey guys now before i start this topic dont get me wrong i love my ctx3030 its served me well the last few months and ive found plenty of coins and stuff .
but in the back of my mind i always have this feeling that maybe the deus might be a better detector .everytime i go out to detect with the ctx3030 its just so heavy that my arm is killing me and i cant seem to detect for more than 2 hrs tops without feeling like ive ran a marathon .
i know there is alot of pluses to both machines .
1. deus can apparently be swung very fast and still pick up objects .people tell me you have to swing the ctx3030 slowly but i swing it very fast and am still picking up coins left right and centre .so im not sure how true this is .
2.i love the id system on the ctx3030 its very accurate i used to have a xterra 705 and i ended up selling it because i was picking up bottle caps left right and centre which made me hate metal detecting .with the ctx3030 i never pick up bottle caps at all always dead on mark with $1 and 2$ coins .thats one thing i like about the ctx its so accurate with its ids .
3.the deus is apparently very light and can clear grounds very fast because it is apparently the fastest detector out on the market .
so i guess what im trying to get to is the reason i wanna sell my ctx is because the weight but im afraid if i do sell it i dont want to lose accuracy in the id panel .like does anyone on here know how accurate the id panel is on the deus compared to the ctx and maybe highlight the pros and cons of the deus xp .
i must add ive had the detector for about 3months and havent spent many hrs on it because im so busy with work .im not on here to advertise that im selling a metal detector but if i was to decide to to get the deus xp .do you guys think $2300 would be a fair price for a hardly used ctx3030 ?.
anyway i know there is alot of experienced people on here and id love to get some advice .cause atm i do love the ctx with its accuracy but the weight factor and having to wear a harness all the time is kinda annoying and also with the swing speed i like to search fast .in and out and done and even tho i swing very fast on the ctx i wonder weather i do miss things with it .today i searched a small oval and found $11 in less than 2 hrs so i dont know if that is good in metal detecting terms for a noobie to the hobby or not ?.anyway thx
