I enjoyed the time spent on the adventure with you, Beau...The Awesome AquaChigger! You are always fun to hang out with and I'm really glad I've found your channel!!! 🤗💜 Thanks for sharing all the fish and those two beautiful "hidden" turtles with us! (I'm not so sure about that last one...😆)
I use the CTX3030 in the UK. Took me a while to get used to it and I really didn't like it to start with. I persevered with it and got used to what it was telling me. Now, I know if I walk over something I know I'm going to find it....and at considerable depth too. Keep going with it Beau, when you are comfortable with it you will love it.
LMBOOOO Chigg that paint on the side of your face is proof of a man lovin his hobby your Awesome Chigg and I absolutely love your videos Keep doing what ya doing 😁
You don't have to find rare valuables to entertain us. Most if what you do we can't do. So it is a big thing to see whatever you do and everything you find is interesting. Thanks for all the good times.
I don't understand how that many people dislike the videos. Great family an educational channel to watch. Even the younger kids are watching an posting comments. Kudos to those kids that are part of this community.
I too am from the UK, sometimes I watch your video's to chill out to before I go to bed. I know one thing if I was a Garrett Rep I'd be giving you a call or sending someone out to train you in the use of their machines. It would be a first class bit of customer service on their part considering all the enthusiasts that watch your videos. Good luck with it all my man.
Always love the videos. I've been using the CTX for awhile. Here are a couple of my preferences for what it's worth: Get the big seals for the battery compartment and the USB port. The stock ones can leak.You have newer version of the CTX, so they may have changed the seals since I bought mine. The originals were thin red seals. Mine leaked on a beach hunt and they had to replace the back compartment, battery and charger. Other people have complained about this as well. In the menu set deep to off and fast to on. With deep on the brain gets confused in large amounts of iron. The reset speed between targets is a little slow on the CTX. Fast will help. For relic hunting I like a wide open screen and from your style of hunting I think you would prefer that as well.. The dark grey is what is discriminated out. I'm pretty sure that's why some of your signals were faint or just blips. I have a program that opens the machine up, if you read this and want it I can email it to you. Good luck with it.
You're gonna love the CTX once you get it mastered....I'm 58 and been detecting since 1970...and it took me a while to figure it out, but I love it now...lol. The book by Andy Sabisch is a must, as the factory manual has several mistakes in it. Also the Coiltek 5 x 10 coil works awesome on it. I love the AT-Pro also, but when you get this beast tamed, you will want to go back to every where you have ever been. Thanks for all you videos...I never miss a single one. Take care, Chigg
The CTX 30 30 is great machine if you take the time to learn it. First I would not be using the big coil. Get the 6" coil for the rivers; much easier to swing and pinpoint. Two, use a tight discrimination pattern to eliminate iron and things you don't want to find. Three, program your sounds so that you know what you have under the coil. This is a super function on the CTX. Don't ignore it, do it!! It's not that complicated. I use combined and low sounds to find the goodies (I use low sounds because I don't hear high sounds well). Don't get greedy with the Gain in the water. You need to move your arm cuff back. Probably the biggest problem with the CTX is the battery compartment and USB port will leak. Be extremely diligent about cleaning the gasket and channel after every use in the water. I now use silicone grease around the channel. Get "The CTX 30 30 Handbook" by Andy Sabisch...expensive but worth it.
That is the best, if not one of the best, machines on the market. This was not a true test as to its abilities. Other detectorists on TH-cam swear by it.
The most interesting thing about your videos is that everything you find, weather its junk, or something special. IT has a story and we may never know exactly how it got there.
Also go into the audio response section and widen the tones that are available. Your silvers will squeal way higher than solid copper pennies. You can audibly tell the difference between most highly conductive targets. Even lows. You can tell the diff between a nickel and a pop tab or chunk of can.
Chigg new hairdo it suits you better mate 🇦🇺👍minelab machine 3030 love it 😍🇦🇺 made in Australia how good is that!? You will get used to the minelab musical tones I Love them very distinctive throw the manual out and just listen to the lovely tones bro great video love the underwater footage, well done for your first time with the 3030 👍🇦🇺✅
I think it is cool that you let us learn with you I am glad you did the video this way We understand there is a learning curve with every new machine Glad you shared this first time with us.As always "GREAT" video Thnx
Hi Aquachigger I sure enjoy all your videos. And all the stories you are telling and all the insides of the things you find. You sometime mention that the video is to long. I enjoy watching your long videos. So please to not let this bother you, when your videos are long. Every minute is enjoyed by me and hopefully by the others as well? I also see that other people from my country ( Germany ) are watching your videos. So it is nice to see that other german people follow your adventures.
Aquachigger you found her in the water? :D just joking i'm happy for you two :) btw greetings from germany ;) watching your videos for about a year now, just enjoying the calm atmosphere
Well beau, let me welcome you to "The Dark Side" on behalf of all my fellow Minelab detectorists! Although I haven't used a 3030 yet, I do swing the 705 and the Excalibar II and love both of them for their versatility.
When I read about the giveaway I was thrilled to have an opportunity to win a machine from you - the Ace 300 seems to be the best bet for me. Thank you very much.
Run it with no disc and learn the sounds, takes some time, but I love mine. Be careful with the seal around the battery. Keep it clean, take it where you found all those silver coins, it loves silver.
The softly floating moss-bunnies resemble the tan ones softly rolling across my floors! Time to suck them up...as soon as you sign off! Chig comes before dust bunnies!!!
The catfish weren’t unfriendly, they were most likely spawning! You interrupted their orgy😂. Your adventures always leave me waiting for the next one. Thanks for taking us along.
Last summer every day after I went fishing, I would go under water and cling two rocks together and a whole school of small mouth would come over to me.
Well, I'm sure glad to see you got a real metal detector. it takes time to learn for sure. but that machine will do everything exect dig it up for you. just keep after it. it is a GREAT machine. thxs, good vids too.
I had a ebay customer with a ID that had ctx-3030 in it, so I asked him if he was a detectorist-he said yes, and the CTX 3030 is the best metal detector he ever used. I would think it should at $2,500.
Whether you find treasure or not, it feels good just to hang out with you. Your videos are very relaxing to the mind as well as the soul. Thanks again, Sarge_3ad
Many Garrett guys have a hard time making the transition to more "technical" machines. You have to be somewhat serious about learning a bit more to go to the top tier of machines and to Minelab machines generally. My very first machine was an X-Terra 70. I knew nothing and I wasn't getting the most out of it. Even so I did manage to find a WW1 military dog tag with it. I went to simpler machines including the Ace and AT Pro and learned the basics, but I wasn't happy with good enough. I didn't want to stay stuck there as a treasure hunter. I got serious about learning and worked my way up through machines. I've been very impressed with machines like the F75 LTD, the revised MX Sport, and the V3i even with its shortcomings. I had a Deus in my arsenal until the Equinox came along. The Equinox has replaced nearly all my machines and has piqued my interest in Minelab machines again. My go-to machines are now just the V3i and Equinox. I've experimented with the FBS machines of others, but have never taken the plunge on a CTX-3030. But I know me, I'm not going to rest until I do. The target trace feature is very intriguing. I view imaging as an evolution of metal detecting
Hello Beau. Enjoyed your swim with the fishes. Love seeing those big ole fish. I'm reminded of the urban legends where scuba divers dive around the dams of reservoirs and return to the surface, swearing to never return because of the giant catfish they witnessed. Lol, you are still thinking about that gold coin Chill Bill found on the bank of the Thames? I'm still thinking about the 170 silver coins you found 5 years ago. Do you still revisit that place to see if any additional coins have surfaced?
I enjoyed the time spent on the adventure with you, Beau...The Awesome AquaChigger! You are always fun to hang out with and I'm really glad I've found your channel!!! 🤗💜 Thanks for sharing all the fish and those two beautiful "hidden" turtles with us! (I'm not so sure about that last one...😆)
😎 cool shades. Spectacular fish vid. Good to see the rivers ecosystem seems to be thriving.
Thanks for taking us along
looked like a healthy bit of water with all that fish life going on,nice to see

Those fish were huge. You all ways get great under water footage, love the moss just floating down stream.😀
I don't understand how that many people dislike the videos. Great family an educational channel to watch. Even the younger kids are watching an posting comments. Kudos to those kids that are part of this community.
every AquaChigger adventure is a grand adventure. Just wish I could hold my breath longer 😀

Love your videos, Chigg! Thanks for sharing your adventures.
Thanks for the videos! I watch your channel at the end of my work day, everyday to relax
Great video! The CTX is an awesome machine once you get familiar with all of it's settings.The Garrett will be a great back up detector.
the old grease on the earmuffs trick, gets em everytime.☺
Those are some lively catfish!

4:20. That is a Model T Ford ignition timer. That's a cool find!
John Nicol that most definitely looked like a model T ignition timer to me
Very cool. Hope Mr. Chiggles kept it.

You truly live a wonderful life, Beau. I'm supremely jealous.

Foiled Again Jim 2500 dollar machine then I must buy a coil? Whatever......

I love this exploration and detecting videos, keep up the good work!

another awesome adventure. i enjoy watching your vids and learning the different ways to detect and to hunt both land and water
that metal detector sounded like the metal owl on Clash of the Titans
PERFECT "Hold Your Breath!" intro. Love it! This video was awesome. You crack me up. 😊 ATB Chig!
Cool Fish Schools
Enjoyed the River
This River
Has potential.
Good Hunting Chigg
It feels almost like you are my relative or something) I've been watching you for so long)

Always interesting when you try out new gear. Pretty relaxing video to watch aswell :) Keep it up!

what a nice man with a great hobby......
That river looks awesome
loving the videos. big fan from Ireland
you need to make a "Hold your breath" t-shirt
New drinking game. Everytime he says hold your breath take a shot....
Jeff White you'd OD...
Connor LaLone lol probably
It always good to get out, even with no finds....!
oh my! Not sure if I am more amused by the catfish.....OR....the black circles on your head! rotflol. Gee, we just love you!
The round metal item you found at 4:17 is a model T Ford timer. It fits over a roller and provides spark for the spark plugs.
The 3030 certainly is a very good machine.
Good to see you wearing the gloves.
one day, you will find an amazing precious object!! and i will wait for this day :))
Aquachigger
you found her in the water? :D just joking
i'm happy for you two :)
btw greetings from germany ;) watching your videos for about a year now, just enjoying the calm atmosphere
Nice finds! the CTX is a great machine from what I have seen/heard from others. Never used one personally.
Wow thats a lot of fish. Pretty cool
LOVE the black rings around your ears! :)
Well beau, let me welcome you to "The Dark Side" on behalf of all my fellow Minelab detectorists! Although I haven't used a 3030 yet, I do swing the 705 and the Excalibar II and love both of them for their versatility.
Awesome video chigg. Thanks and good luck
When I read about the giveaway I was thrilled to have an opportunity to win a machine from you - the Ace 300 seems to be the best bet for me. Thank you very much.
Finally. You got yourself a CTX! WHOHOOO!
Fried catfish, hushpuppies and coleslaw......was that dinner Beau??
i looking this vidéo from France tanks you for job;)
Great video, thanks for sharing it.
The great Bass n Cat migration!
Nice head trim, Aquaswagger.
Pretty cool to see the fish like that.
He Beau, I love your vids! Always super interresting!! Keep it going!
Greetings from the Netherlands (
Holland)
wladimir delicaat met mij wel prima, ben geen Kasper maarja
Chigg swinging a Dirty 30, I've never used one but I hear a lot of good things about it.
Your going to be getting plenty of goodies with that beau..
Yup nice cat fish ........... because thats what they are !!! Man oh man..! good job chigger
Run it with no disc and learn the sounds, takes some time, but I love mine. Be careful with the seal around the battery. Keep it clean, take it where you found all those silver coins, it loves silver.

mr chigg, I am sneezing my head off in the south. so dry. you bring out doors inside for me . thanks bud
I love your videos the things you find are awesome =]
Keep at it! I feel a big score coming on soon!
*У меня такой же прибор! Спасибо за видео!*
The catfish weren’t unfriendly, they were most likely spawning! You interrupted their orgy😂. Your adventures always leave me waiting for the next one. Thanks for taking us along.
Chigg, you should do a land video with that 3030. Thanks for the great channel.!
I love it when you say “HOLD YOUR BREATH”🤣
i love your videos man..greatings from romania
nice clear river....😊😊👍👍
Last summer every day after I went fishing, I would go under water and cling two rocks together and a whole school of small mouth would come over to me.
Well, I'm sure glad to see you got a real metal detector. it takes time to learn for sure. but that machine will do everything exect dig it up for you. just keep after it. it is a GREAT machine. thxs, good vids too.
That first round metal thing you found looks like a timer off a model T Ford. Part of the ignition.
Nice shades Chigg.
Wheres all the cannon balls?great day for a hunt chig thanks for takin me along
awwww painted turtles there so cute turtle power
I love your videos aquachigg
The headphone paint made me giggle..your the man chigg
Thank you based Aquachigger
It is hell to get old. Even the detector sounds weak!
I recommend you get a swim shirt instead of a regular shirt. They sell them online like Quicksilver.
Your videos are like meditation.
Great video. Let's go fish'n!
could you do a video of testing the detector by burying various metals at different depth i think that would help you learn how to use it.
I had a ebay customer with a ID that had ctx-3030 in it, so I asked him if he was a detectorist-he said yes, and the CTX 3030 is the best metal detector he ever used.
I would think it should at $2,500.
Grande video 👍 con CTX 3030 👍👍 Tanti saluti Ciao Endriu
Great work!

I love these videos
you're gonna find a bar of pure gold 100%
MOAR jetboat !
I love the sound !!!
Dudes at Minelab need to look after that paint drying problem....LOL!
Hey Chigg, just an FYI, if you get a dry snorkel you won't have that bubble sound every time you go under water. Unless you like it 😁
Nice detector chigger :)
another great video, keep up the good work

I live in MD and would love to fish there =) I have been watching too many of these videos and now I have been metal detector shopping lol
