I have heard about the E-Trac being slow at recovery, so I did a little test on a few machines to see where the E-trac comes in at, I tested the Teknetics G2 with its dual processors, Minelab X-terra 705, Mineladb X-Terra 50 and a Whites MXT. All metal detectors had Double D coils and set to null out over iron..I was surprised at the results..I thought The Teknetics G2 with the dual processors would recover faster than any of them...I put a piece of iron on the ground along with a penny, when the machine nulled and wouldn't pick up the penny, I would move the penny over tell it picked it up...I used the same swing speed with all of them, the Teknetics G2 and the Minelab 705 nulled out and was able to pick up the penny at 6", a little bit of a surprise was the Minelab 50 picked up the penny at 5", the worst of the bunch was the Whites MXT, it pickup the penny at 7"...but the real surprise for me was the E-Trac after hearing how slow it was , it picked up the penny at 3" after nulling over the iron..i just found that interesting..
