The 6 Main Features of the ultimate TREASURE detector are:
- Waterproof
- Wireless Audio
- FeCo Discrimination
- GPS Locating
- PC Mapping
- Full Colour Display
Main Features
Waterproof

You can go detecting anywhere with this versatile TREASURE detector.

You have the flexibility of land and underwater detecting as the CTX 3030 is waterproof to 10 ft (3 m).

Main Features / Waterproof
Wireless Audio

Have the freedom to detect without your headphones being attached to your detector.

With the WM 10 Wireless Module you have the choice of using the internal speaker, supplied headphones or your own favourite headphones.

Main Features / Wireless Audio
FeCo Discrimination

With Ferrous (Fe) and Conductivity (Co) target resolution, plus adjustable Tone ID Profiles, you can detect the targets you want to and ignore the rest.

With Target Trace and Target Separation, you can identify multiple targets simultaneously for accurate detecting results.

Main Features / FeCo Discrimination
GPS Locating

See where you have been and where you are going by using the Map screen and Navigation Tool.

New GPS functions, such as GeoTrails, WayPoints, FindPoints and GeoHunts, allow you to leave your handheld GPS at home!

Main Features / GPS Locating
PC Mapping

Upload all of your detector settings and treasure locations to your PC using the XChange 2 application. Attach photos and text to your finds, group them into categories.

View the locations on Google Maps. You can also download data to your detector for re-exploring favourite areas.

Main Features / PC Mapping
Full Colour Display

The full colour LCD clearly displays more target information than ever before and greatly enhances the CTX 3030's discrimination capabilities.

Main Features / Full Colour Display

Discover history with the CTX 3030 and record your treasure finds!

Functions
For quickly accepting or rejecting a detected target, the Identify function saves you time and effort!

Edited patterns are automatically saved within your current Search Mode. Auto accept/reject discrimination features are also available for fast pattern editing using sample targets.

Functions / Identify...
When you are searching, the Detect screen shows you all the target information you need to find more treasure – you won't miss anything!

The colour display, Ferrous and Conductivity numbers, numerical depth indicator and sensitivity panel will give you more confidence to find those elusive good targets in heavily searched and high trash areas.

Quickly select between two discrimination patterns (P1, P2) for each Search Mode.

Functions / Detect...
When you want to check treasure locations or ground you have covered, the Map screen shows you the way – no need for a separate GPS!

The GeoTrail displays the path where you have been so you don't waste time detecting the same ground twice. Use WayPoints and FindPoints to create your own treasure map.

Quickly select between three zoom levels (10 × 10, 20 × 20, 100 × 100) giving close up and wide views.

Functions / Map...
For recording find locations and entire treasure hunts, the Store function does it all!

WayPoints are used as general position markers to easily navigate to your favourite locations. FindPoints capture location, detector and target data for storing details of your treasure finds.

Functions / Store...

Your world of discovery can now be simply managed on your PC. XChange 2 allows you to store and retrieve detecting data, and also display this on Google Maps.

It has never been easier to keep track of your detecting adventures and plan your next hunt. XChange 2 will change the way you go detecting – forever!

Key Technologies

The CTX 3030 uses advanced electronics and signal analysis to give you much more information about buried targets than any other detector.

With FBS 2, Smartfind 2, GPSi and Wi-Stream, Minelab takes the World's Best Metal Detection Technologies to the next level of performance.

Key Technologies
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.

Key Technologies / FBS 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.

Key Technologies / Smartfind 2
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.

Key Technologies / GPSi
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.
