"Minelab listened to the marketplace and designed a detector that incorporates technology, functionality and flexibility that, until now, we could only dream about." Field Tester ­ USA
"The balance of this detector is far superior to previous FBS models. Frankly, better than any other detector I've used with this sized coil." Field Tester ­ USA
Comfort Grip

"On first seeing the CTX 3030 its overall look and list of features are impressive and it was obvious from the first time I used this machine that it has an air of superiority about it. I feel the bar has just been raised in coin & relic hunting with the CTX 3030's capability to separate targets with so much more visual information, it's exciting." Field Tester ­ Australia

Roman Treasures
The reach of the Roman empire was extensive as it prevailed across Europe, Western Asia and North Africa. Our modern day world continues to reflect the strength of its influence through everything from language to law, government and trade.
When Roman rule was nearing its end... citizens, concerned for their valuables (great and small) hid them in the safest place available to them... deep in the ground beneath their feet. Many would never again return to reclaim their hidden valuables and so their legacy has lain hidden in the ground undisturbed for centuries ­ waiting to be discovered and preserved... waiting for their story to be revealed...

American Civil War Artefacts
It is amazing what can be uncovered across the well trodden battle fields of the Southern States of America....
Each one of these Civil War bullets is a misfire that had to be extracted from the gun barrel. These bullets were pulled from the barrel using a screw, corkscrew or other device attached to the end of a ramrod. Each one exhibits unusual features such as exceptionally large screw holes, very distinct screw threads, multiple holes or deep holes making the collection particularly interesting.
Every day, keen detectorists have the opportunity to uncover history...

Throughout the ages of history precious treasures have been

created, admired, gifted, lost and stolen. Many daring explorers have

searched in vain for these historic and valuable discoveries. While

there have been countless stories of fabulous buried riches being

found ­ from the coins of ancient empires to battlefiEerrladticaTratrgeeftaTcratcse­

there is still much to be discovered.

The modern day detectorist now has a much greater opportunity to uncover history by using the CTX 3030. Its advanced discrimination
features, enabled by FBS 2 and Smartfind 2 technologies, allow elusive coins and treasures to be recovered, evUePn from previously searched ground.

For many detectorists, where something has been found is just as important as what has been found. The first explorers created geographic maps and charts to aid discovery. From ancient hand drawn maps to the latest GPS enabled devices, this mapping can now be achieved with ease and more accuracy.

GPS tools enable detectorists to navigate

to a specific location and mark points of

This information can also be displayed on Google Maps. It has never been easier to keep track of your detecting adventures and plan your next hunt.

"I have been playing around with the XChange 2 software, and I really like it! I think this software is going to appeal to the younger detectorist, and the pro who needs to know exactly where he previously found something interesting. The ability of designing a search mode, editing a discrimination pattern, and then naming it before uploading to the detector, is fantastic!" Field Tester ­ UK
Add FindPoint Information

By connecting the CTX 3030 to XChange 2 you can transfer WayPoints, FindPoints and GeoHunts to and from your PC (an internet connection is required to view Google Maps). All of your personal detecting data is stored locally and securely on your PC and is not accessible by others via the internet.
· Add text comments and photos to your finds and/or hunts. Important detecting information can now all be stored in one place with one PC application.
· Categorise and colour code target types on your maps and arrange in Collection folders. You can create an unlimited database of your detecting information for future reference.
· Create new WayPoints for navigating to detecting locations of interest.
· Edit, rename and download finds, detector settings and location data to your CTX 3030 to assist with your next hunt.
The versatility of XChange 2 is only limited by your imagination. Take your detecting `game plan' to the next level by following treasure trends and identifying potential treasure sites. You can even share your favourite detector settings and exciting discoveries with friends.

FBS 2 combines Minelab's FBS multiple frequency rectangular-wave transmission (1.5 kHz ­100 kHz) with advanced digital coil-to-detector communications. The precisely calibrated smart coils and detector electronics allow advanced signal analysis for more accurate detection.

GPSi uses the high performance and flexibility of a u-blox GPS positioning engine to seamlessly integrate location and time data with detector settings and target information. This creates WayPoint, FindPoint and GeoHunt files that are compatible with XChange 2.

Smartfind 2 greatly enhances Minelab's FeCo Discrimination to analyse and display a target's Ferrous (Fe) and Conductive (Co) properties on a full colour LCD. Ultra-fast microcontrollers carry out digital signal processing to provide significantly improved target separation.

Wi-Stream uses efficient low-power digital audio transmission to achieve no perceivable audio time lag (<10 ms) from the CTX 3030 to the WM 10. With multiple channel capability, this wireless technology provides reliable communication with maximum sound quality.
