I use a Modified version where the Ferrous is opened up to FE 27. I use this every day and every hunt. All these folks that tell you that you are missing coins are spending too much time digging junk. You will lose one type Indian Penny that is rare and one gold Coin that is even more rare that will be Discriminated out. All those pull tabs and junk will have you frustrated and just take up all your hunting time. Use the Discrimination the Etrac thrives on it. Open up Nickles from 12 to 15 Conductive Open up 32 to 48 Conductive. Ferrous on nickles from 10 to 15 or so. On the Pennies go all the way up with a straight line and all the way down to 27. Don't forget Silver Dollars hit at 01-43 Close up the far right corner. I can see no loss of depth by running Discrimination on the Etrac. You do need to have the higher Ferrous numbers to pick out Coins next to Nails.

Hope this helps. I dug a 1907 Indian today that was laying next to a Nail that read 01-36.

I agree with you daddy flea about using the discrimination,that's where all the money for these units is,,paying for that great discrimination.ill give your setting a try,I've been using goesforevers settings and the stock coin programs.found some silver dimes,and a few other cool things...I have a x8 coil along with the stock,I put the x8 on today and will run it over the weekend...I like the etrac a lot,I just really never gave the prior one a chance,and it was new.This one is in good shape,but older Ireland made.thanks for the tip!!!
