I have run out of detectors :sadwalk:

I do scotrod. Whenever we get together for picnics in the parks I bring them out and let them hunt up the park. Quite a bit of fun.

If you are complaining cause you don't have a high dollar unit to play with, get over it. I started out with a BH Tracker IV. Anybody with a metal detector that actually uses it can eventually upgrade to what ever they want if they really want to. I know people that pull in close to a 1000.00 in clad every year because they have goals and they work at reaching them.

Mike, I totally understand. I am the same way. I like detectors as much as I like detecting. I like learning about them. I like figuring out which one will work best at which site. Which one will find which targets best AND... I love to hunt the same site with different machines.

You will love the V3. I make more finds with the E-TRAC, faster and more consistantly but the V3 is fun to tweak and learn... and it also makes good finds. I don't care for the concentric coils on it. I use the D2 and the 4x6 shooter.

Anyway, if just making the most finds possible (and good finds that other machines miss) is your goal, there is nothing that compares with the E-TRAC. If you like playing with a detector and making good finds the V3 is your machine. The V3 is the most seductive machine I have ever used. It is plain sexy.

BTW... I am glad you are "fortunate" (read hard working over a sustained period of time... probably a risk taker and educamated) ... I get really impatient with the "less fortunate crap". I've been poor and i've been comfortable, never been rich but i've always been happy and i've always had health insurance... even when I didn't have a car or food....

Sorry for the rant...

Julien, what is your opinion of the F75LTD vs. the Etrac?
