I have been using my ace for quite some time now. It has more than paid for itself in the time I have owned it.

About two months ago I decided to upgrade. After alot of researching and forum scanning I choose to go for an Etrac.

I sold my Xbox and a few other gadgets, eaten more than my fair share of ramen noodles and pot pies, both of which I feel I won't be eating for a long time after getting my Etrac (if ever). I have givin plasma (I am not a fan of needles :-\ ). and any money from overtime has gone towards my minelab fund.

I am now in the final stretch, just a few hundred more. :hello2:

Hopefully I will soon be able to post some of my interesting finds. instead of just lurking the forums and drooling over your guys's finds.

I know it sounds like I am expecting the Etrac to magically find silver everywhere. I am not. I just will have a machine that I will feel confident in taking to all the old one room schools I have marked all over google earth. :laughing7:

Good luck buddy. Don't give to much blood, you'll need some energy to detect. That e-trac's the big kahuna from what I've read and seen.
P.S. I like ramen noodles.

I will have to wait on the showering less part till tommorrow. A forktruck blew a hydrolic line while I was on it earlier (at face level of course). Soooo I am feeling pretty well lubed at the moment. :laughing9:
