Please read!! I am no English or grammer guru... But I think you guys wondering if you should buy the Etrac will get the hint!!

[M.L. Hinds]

I see so many asking about the Etrac and stewing about if they should get one.. Fellas, I asked the same question about 3 months ago give or take a few days! I am gonna give you my opinion (FOR WHAT ITS WORTH) I have been slowed down as far as hunting by mother winter and all! However, I did get some good hunting time in just before all this weather started and have to say my trash finds went way way down in that short time and my silver finds went way way up! And most of the trash I did find was either by my own doing trying to learn the detector in different modes or because ALOT of the coins I have found were in the hole with trash!! Alot of the coins I would dig and then scan the hole again to see if anymore coins were there only to have it null because a rejected target was under the coin!! I can honestly say I have not had the urge to buy any detectors lately because I know I have the best detector that is currently out!! Before I was always looking for something a little better (BUYING, SELLING, TRADING over and over and over) You guys know the fever I speak of!! From what I have seen with personal use, it is truely a gem!! You can buy 2 or 3 detectors and not be happy and I believe if you just spent the money on the Etrac you would be much farther ahead cause believe me you are gonna get one!! It's in your blood!! So get the Etrac ENOUGH SAID!!!!!!!!

I just purchased Andys book to keep me busy this winter!! I'm sure its well worth the money if you buy an Etrac!!

Not saying the other detectors are bad as we see the great finds found with the Explorer and the Sovereigns on these forums. I tried all the Explorers and they were good, some I like more than the others. I favored my Sovereign as it just felt comfortable for me and could understand it plus with the 180 meter you could see what you were hearing from the tones when you heard the tones. Now I got a E Trac and sold my SE Pro as I just like the way the E-trac sounds and handles in the feild and I am still in the factory coin program and wonder when I get to know it better and start tweaking it what this detector can do. I have been over a few sites that were hammered with the Explorers and found some nice coins in with nails which is impressive for this detector. One thing for me was not using it like my Explorer and just using the factory preset coin mode and set my sensitivity to auto and went a +3 which I had to lower at places when I need too as I feel this was a good starting point to learn it. It seems to click for me better than the Explorers did and I still dig my rusty nails that were just to iffy to not dig, but feel it is less with the E-Trac plus I dont have all the false signals either.
It is a great detector for some of us while others may disagree as they are so used to what they are using and feel the E-Trac should work the same and yet be better than what they are using.
A friend of ours has one too plus the SE and he claims he has dug over 40 piece of silver with the E-Trac he missed with his SE and the EX II he had before, so he too is sold on the E-Trac and he too says he has to use it a little different.

Seems like the only people who knock the ET are the ones who have a closet full of Explorers and Sovs. They jumped on the bandwagon over some hyped up videos and now all they do i complain and pick it apart as if they are some authority. The proof is in the finds for me. search this fourm on my posts. Yet all some people do is complain and prove nothing to me other than detetcting from a chair in front of a computer. Give me some in the real world pics or video of a side by side not just words. And don't tell me you don't have a video/camera or not know how to use one when you can afford a Minelab and know how to use one.

Hey EZ..I think I'm tone deft. I've been using the hell out of my Etrac and finding a lot of lead and relic stuff. I just havent been hitting the coins. Not a lot as compared to my Xterra anyway. The other day I switched to two tone and in literelly minutes had dug about 12 pennys (1 wheat). I hit a clad dime, 1 nickel, and a long buried clad quarter. I have since revised my settings....all the same just two tone and look at my VID more. I have been just hunting by multi-tone, and heck, it works. With two tone I have to look at the display more (guess thats why its there)...and geez, it works too. In fact, I'm finding my ferrous and conductor readings quite accurate. Its been funny. I have been getting more coin with my Xterra than the Etrac. I have been hitting a whole bunch more lead with the Etrac. And I mean 22 cal bullits at 7 to 9 inches. I got out the Xterra the other day. Turned it on and it was in two tone.... used it a bit and found more coins. I put it away and fired up the Etrac. Switched to two tone and viola....it bangs. I love those 11 and 12 ferrous readings now. The two tone for my hearing is working better...never thought that would happen. I still use multi tone if I'm out in clean ground. Its now 2 tone for trash areas though. (which is where I hunt mostly). Just thought I'd say hi and add another thumbs up for the Etrac. I really like its versitility.
