That still makes me a smoker,who IYO cant ask a detecterist to justify their high price machine
I wouldnt have the inclination to anyway

[Chef Geoff]

Well I think price justification is relative to the amount of  money you can afford and when I say afford I mean "spare" and if it is spare then only the detectorist themselves need to justify it, but.....if you are taking money that would normally go towards something else regarding the family, just so you can go and wave a stick around in a field once a week then you may have a whole bunch of people who can ask.

I will try in  the meanwhile look at this video then tell me to pay more for a waterproof e-trac

Etrac VS CTX3030

[Chef Geoff]

Well as the guy says in that video the Etrac was a little better on tones than the 3030, so yes it's just a waterproof Etrac with a very expensive wetsuit on.
A customer who uses both the Etrac and CTX said after buying an Ultimate coil "If users new what this coil does to the Etrac, Minelab would loose sales on the CTX".

[Napoleon]

   a water proof etrac that is brilliant and dont forget gps color screen much more than the Etrac and if it does rain you dont have to worry about sending your machine to minelab  because the control box is dead so that is a big improvement . £1500 for a ctx3030 i think its a price i would buy one for second hand above that price go for a new one . Sure soon or later they wil be one around that price. hope you find one soon i am thinking  to save some cash for a ctx too .cheers.nap

[Dale]

Im sorry to all the minelab users, I could not pay £100 for a machine what sounds like that it sounds horrible
it sounds like a key board running out of batteries.

A £100 for a Minelab yes please I'll have ten ... lol 

[Pipster]

You go for it Wayno   .... I have also seen them on the Bay £1000/£1500ish so I don't think you will  be that far out .... My dear wife put my E-trac outside while cleaning under the stairs 3 days later and a lot of rain .... Well lets just say I wish that it was waterproof   ... if you buy a secondhand machine, and find you don't like it, you won't loose money  ..... Sell it and buy another E-trac   Win Win........ to me its a no brainer
