Last week I pulled the trigger on a new E-trac. I got a great deal and couldn't resist (many thanks to 4-H....best dealer I've ever worked with!!!). I spent this weekend trying to familiarize myself with the machine and the different tweaks that are available. Saturday I had my best silver day ever! I managed to dig 4 silver dimes in about 4 hours. All 3 mercs are from the 1920's and were found at the same park, all at 7 inches +. Today I was invited to hunt in the early morning with a friend at one of his parks. I didn't get any silver today, but dug a bunch of wheat pennies. I am loving the E-trac!!! Just goes to show that it's not ALL the user behind the machine. A great machine can make even the most inexperienced of hunters seem like they know what they are doing :laughing7:. I can't wait to get more experience with the machine, and can only imagine the deep targets I've passed right over with the other machines.

Congrats on all that silver. Glad to here the E-trac is working for you.
I'm still waiting for my E-trac from Kellyco over a month now.
Everyone in the world wants one at the same time I hear.
I cant wait to get it out to the sites that I pounded with the DFX to see if I missed anything.
To see if it is better than all the minelabs that pounded the same site for years.
