Why I'm KEEPING my E TRAC

I bought the Etrac because I guessed it was the newest version of the SE. I gambled and lost that bet! I was mad at myself for not having the cash at the time to get the discounted SE pros that were being offered. When the E trac hit I had to jump. I have been studying all the posts here and felt I was as familiar with the SE as one could be, without actually having one! I knew that it was going to be AM ferrous sounds, the little wiggle, etc. My DFX has been good to me, but it's only flaw was DEEP silver. I have a place where there is deep silver and time is short due to developers!! So that's why I jumped on the E Trac bus so fast. Even though I find great things with it, NONE of it has been past 5". And for me the 11" coil is useless. All of my good finds are with the small 4x7 coil in an open screen, ferrous, 2 tones, and sensitivity around 24. But I debated if I should get rid of the E Trac???? The answer is finally NO!!! It has not been what I wanted it to be, but it IS excellent in high trash areas. These quarters and dimes were in an area that you can't move your coil 2" without iron growl or just plain junk!! ET picked them out nicely. So it STAYS. Wish I had the bucks to get an SE also, but I don't. That's the way it's got to be. I will miss my window of opportunity for this site, but at least I will get some of the shallow finds. So I have added the ET to my arsenal. HH everyone and yes, I know I scratched the heck out of the 1894 Barber:rage: Pinpointing is real tough in that trash!!
 
Nice finds coinnut! If you're running out of time to pound this site, your friendly neighborhood YTC would always love to help! :) It'd be interesting to run an ETrac and SE head to head at a trashy site.

Catch ya later.

Heck thosE are some great finds, congrats on them! Shallow or not, you are doing great! I think I would keep it also, Beale.
 
Great finds pal
 
hey coinnut, nice finds! wow. wish i could have a day - just one day - like that! it's been a while. hey man, i'd keep that etrac too, and not feel one bit bad about it. with nice old silver like that, the machine STAYS. good call, coinnut. nice finds, and hh,
 
A nice sun colored amethyst drinking glass @ 1900. I've eyeballed a couple of non metal finds while hunting. This one was almost completely exposed. In another area where I got some Indians and V's, I spotted pieces of an amber Warner's Bottle (the one with the safe on it). Broke my heart. My other hobby is bottle hunting.
 
OMG Coinnut, What a haul, you found all that in one day :yikes:. Fantastic Silver and that amethyst glass is exceptional. WTG, keep that E Trac, but I have a feeling you can make Great Finds no matter what machine
you use :please:
