quarters with etrac

[jtermz]

I got my etrac this winter and have put in many hrs now and can figure out dimes penny nickles and even getting good at what type of pull tabs and nails when falsing but quarters are not registering as solid as everything else they come in at 46/47 but it is scratchy not a solid as the others hit is this normal or do you guys think I have setting wrong
Thanks

I'm new to my Etrac, (30hrs in field).
Quarters show at 11, 12 or 13/46. Usually 12/46 under 8 inch depth. I've been using the A Sabisch coin program.
Good luck
Peace

Do they sound the same in all metal as they do with a discrimination pattern?

That would depend some on how your machine was programmed, on mine no.

I was asking the OP. If he's running a discrimination pattern with rejected numbers close to what a quarter reads, it might cause a bad reading on a quarter.

If you have to much discrimination especially around where they hit it can cause broken or scratchy signals on the Minelab E-Trac. The less discrimination you can use the better the good signals will hit.

Discrimination is the devil!

I have found 10 silver quarters in 4 months so far with my etrac and they all come in clear at 11-46 to 13-47. Sometimes the ferrous numbers jump up or down a little depending on depth or soil but the sound is unmistakable. I usually just discrim out ferrous 29 down to the bottom.
