E trac

[Electricboy]

Hi I currently have a ace 250. From my research the minelab e trac looks like it would be the best bet. Has anybody used it? What are deepest coins youve found? Is there another detector you'd suggest? Thanks

The etrac is a great machine. The question is what are you looking for? Coins? Jewelry? If you are shooting for coins then its the best machine on the market in my opinion. I have used the Ace 250, Tesoro Cortez, Fisher F75, and the etrac. All good machines but the etrac is the one that I wouldnt part with. When I first started with the etrac, I was borrowing it from GOIO. He had his SE and my F75 was in the shop. It was set up in the factory settings. I changed it from multi tone to 4 tone and began hunting. I found 13 silver coins in a week. That doubled the amount that I had found the entire year. I never looked back and am using the same machine since 2008 with about 1000 hours on it.
Depth depends on the ground you are hunting. I have hunted great neutral ground and found pennies and dimes at 10-11 inches. I have hunted horrible ground and wasnt able to find anything deeper than 4 inches. The machine has great separation and its fun to use. TMAN...

Thanks! I plan on using it for coinshooting!! I've been watching YouTube videos and it seems like a great machine.

I work in a shop that has access to most detectors,have read 'til the cows come home on them all, and for coins...that is a major strong point for the E trac. If you see yourself doing jewelry a lot too....that is a strong point of other stuff.

I've been looking at new detectors for awhile and now it is just a matter of finding the extra cash to buy one. The two machines I really like are the E-Trac and White's V3i. Since my main machine currently is a White's I think I'm going with the V3i but I don't think you can go wrong with either machine.

Good luck and let us know how you make out.
