I have had my E-TRAC for one week and this thing is awesome... I am hunting more by tone than anything but I do ck the vdi just to see the numbers. Yesterday I found a silver ear ring and today a silver ring.. I have found a wheatie and one silver quarter. I have found $23.91 in clad in one week.. Both parks I hunted have been hunted by others quite a bit and I even hunted the one with my V3i and my ATP..

I tried the park pattern and it works well but as I said I don't pay to much attention to the screen.. Although i know the higher FE numbers suggest there at least iron below the coil I did dig a quarter that showed 24-45 and for that reason I am sticking to tones... I was cherry picking this am and most likely passed over 50 pennies. I do that often and go back at a later time to pluck the pennies... I get bored hunting the same park so I jump around from park to park.

Again this thing is awesome. I have only dug like 3 tabs which I suspected were nickels but my ear is toned the nickel sound now... I have only dug one soda can as well but it was like at 10".


My only complaint is I didn't buy one 5 yrs ago.. It is a bit heavy and puts a strain on my neck due to surgery and some muscle relocation but I am getting used to it now so all is well.

A swingy type thing would ease your pain. My Etrac killed my elbow!

But..... Great machine!

Ditto on what Deepseeker said. Get it before its too late. My elbow is still healing and its been almost 6 months of a very slow healing process.

Yes what Deepseeker said, bought a 17 inch coil for the ctx, used it 2 days and immediately bought the swingy. Now it feels like i am carrying nothing!
