I finally got a chance to run my MXT and Etrac at several FL beaches. I was curious what the Etrac would do since I had never run it before. I spent a total of 12 hours hunting and the beaches were really sanded in. I would walk miles and hit an occasional zincoln and virtually no trash. The MXT wtih 10x12 SEF coil has been a good beach detector for me and is simple and clear. The etrac seemed to love the Zincolns and clad. Well this is an unscientific test but the WINNER was MXT...... 9.5 grams of 14K Gold. Etrac a big zero. That being said I have a lot of reading in Andy's book to do. I am sure the etrac could do better but I still find my self enjoying the MXT more.

Well said. "It all comes down to running that coil over the target". One of the easiest lessons of metal detecting for sure !!
