I was out today detecting today with the e-trac and was hoping I made the right choice. I sold my explorer II and was looking for depth and the possibility of detecting deeper and the e-trac was on my radar. The site we hunt has given up many coins dating before 1820. I have found a Fugio Cent and my buddy found a flowing hair half dime among many other large cents and state coins. I have used the explorer at the site many times with targets getting very very hard to find. This is the third year hunting the site with 3 explorer owners.. The area boundaries are a fence so we have our limits. This was my third time out with the e-trac and I was concerned that I wasted my money. (I sold my Explorer). Well my buddy and I went out and hunted the site today. He had his explorer with the WOT Coil and I had the e-trac. I had set 30 on the sensitivity and on manual. Screen was sectioned off 1/2 inch from the bottom. Multi sounds. My buddy found 2 buttons and a Indian head cent. (We reach for all signals nothing under 8-10 inches with many deeper.) Hot rocks and iron cause false readings. I was thrilled today after worrying for 2 days that I made a mistake. I found 6 buttons, 1 New Jersey Copper 17??. 4 musket balls and some very small copper scrap. I was very happy. My finds were a little above average for the site. I am now content and pleased with the machine. I was working between multi and 4 tones both worked very well. Machine was very steady.Both machines worked well, but I did see the e-trac did work better grabbing those slight signals at this site. Signals were slight among the iron and hot rocks and at great depths. I am content with the machine since I sold my Explorer I better learn this detector. I am sure that I made the right choice. I have found over 15 keepers at this site in two days.. One last thing I have hunted with the Explorers for years. I know how they work. The Etrac may be harder to learn and understand if you have never had an explorer. Learn and Enjoy .... Check Pic
