Hi,
My son and I just purchased new e-tracs and are learning them. We have no lack of places to hunt but are learning the basics of the machine. We are working toward becoming very good with it. I think my prior experience with a White's MXT is slowing me down some, but my son seems to be taking to the e-trac faster than I. Our dealer has us learning it in steps. We are in the Salt Lake Valley. Not much success, no silver or wheaties yet, but we have not really tried any old locations. The pinpointing is a little difficult for me wit the dd coil. We are searching in parks to learn shallow pinpointing first, then we will work deeper gradually.
