I'm not bashing the Etrac with this video I saw on Youtube! Minelab detectors are amazing and later next year I'll buy an etrac. Though I'll keep my ATP! It has great features and can go deep. But can somebody explain me what happened on this video? All I'm saying is that not all detectors can be perfect at everything! I have read in other forums that the Etrac is not quite the performer on high trashy sites. People everywhere trash talk on The ATP saying this or saying "they don't go deep". Well, I'm currently a happy owner of one, I have found many great items with it, it's water proof and it truly excels in trashy sites! I use Pro Zero Mode and nothing discriminated! Fully open and let the hunt begin!!
I don't hate anyone using any brand detector, I think it's annoying when the title of many post's go like this "AT Pro finds Seated Dime" or "AT Pro finds Whatever". It's like someone saying that their "Craftsman Hammer Built a House". We all know that many detectors would have beeped if it went over the same targets. If in fact, the AT Pro could go out on it's own without a human swinging it and brought back some great finds I'd have 5 in my stable and let them loose daily as I sit on the deck drinking a fancy umbrella drink.
