Disturbed ground

[MXTerer]

It has been said many times that the Explorer series didn't do well in disturbed ground. Can anyone comment on the Etrac in these situations? How about a 3" layer of leaves or straw?

I love hunting in the woods. Never had any problem hunting plowed fields or leaf covered woods with the XS and now the E-trac. Last few hunts have been in a field that has been sub-soiled at some point and had many brass and iron finds at 18"-20". Will say that the stubs left over from the crops when hit with coil can give a false signal or two. Plus with the stubs you have to keep coil and inch or two off the ground.

Dug a SLQ at 12" in a potato field harvested this fall and a LC at 11" in a different field recently tilled.... Ground was no longer loose because of rain, etc... but did have fairly significant and recent disturbance.

******************************************

The quoted conditions pose no extra-ordinary problems to the E-trac.

Aerated soil allows oxygen into its loose structure, promoting an invigorating ( worsening) effect to any ferric contents.

Your E-trac indicates its ' view 'of the ground's reaction by the level it assigns to the Auto-trac indicator.



Hope that info helps..........Kurtt
