The GT or ??

RE Etrac settings. I've found the etrac works very well regardless of how it is set up, with the possible exception of having too high of a sensitivity setting in high trash.

Lots of great info guys. Here's a question - hope I'm asking it right. This weekend I was at a site near Texarkana that was once a small community called O'Farrell, it was settled around 1870 and only had a population of 40!! LOL... but did have a post office, blacksmith shop, a store and of course a church. I was only able to get a few hours of hunting in and am sure with more time I could make some good finds, but this time I was only finding old can tops, farm equipment etc. not a single coin. So my question is - many of these junk items were IDing the same as dime or quarter on my ML X-30 - I know digging junk is just part of the hobby, but would E Trec, SOV or any other do a better job at discriminating and IDing between the goods and no-goods?
Thanks.

P.S. My aunt & uncle who now lives on this land will soon (around July 1st) be opening a muscadine vineyard. If ever you find yourself on Farm Rd 995 just out of Atlanta Tx. you really should drop in and meet some wonderful people - and of course try some of their award winning wine. :)
 
I find junk fools me less on the GT than any machine I've owned. If the audio is smooth, warm, and round sounding DIG!
 
You can discriminate out anything you want on the E Trac ...... nails ? GONE ........Steel caps ? ...GONE ..........Every target has a square in the E Trac matrix ..... Dig what you want and leave what you don't ...... It seperates and discriminates and handles masking better than the Sovereign ....No guessing ....It's all right in front of you !!....Jim
 
But what you aren't telling them is that the fe/co numbers on the etrac are so picky that two identical coins, let alone trash like pull tabs, can have very different numbers. We scanned in a bunch of coins using a medium cursor and were shocked to see that other coins of the same exact type were still rejected. Too finicky for me. I just want to know it's a coin, not how many pits it has in it's surface. Well beyond the point of being useful and in fact is a drawback.
