OK, here's the deal. I really like my AT Pro, BUT it's not too good salt water beaches and the Etrac is supposed to be really good. About 20-30% (currently) is beach hunting. I know it's not waterproof, but I'm not going to dive. Also, I mainly search for silver. Some may call it cherry picking, So be it. Other than the beach, I hunt old houses and parks. Not relic hunting on some battle field. I know the Etrac is better on the salt beach, but is it really a lot better on silver? Or, will it be much better on the houses and parks?
