Finally signed up

[Ben Town]

I’d like to say hello to everyone.
Ive been a lurker for sometime and thought I would sign up
I live in Central IL. around Bloomington .
Had a couple Garret Metal detectors back when I worked and they got little use.
After I retired and had more time bought a Minlab Safari and used it awhile and decided I needed more and bought a CTX its a great machine and I still get stumped but figure it out and go.
Ive got a Detector garden in the yard and try new settings and adjustments there, really helps.
Farmers are getting the crops out and I look forward to getting out and dig some wholes.

Welcome to the forum! I use the CTX as well and find it pretty simple now, just take a some practice. Waiting for more info on the new Minelab, might be worth moving over to.

It will be interesting to see how it shakes out, I’m not counting the CTX out yet��

Welcome to the forum! The CTX is a great machine and should perform well for you in central Illinois. I used to live in Monticello, Illinois and I have hunted in a few small towns around you: Anchor, Bellflower, McLean, Waynesville, and Rutland to the north.

Best of luck and keep us posted on your progress! :yes:
