im in the market for an awesome land machine... im currently swinging an Excal 1000... but im looking for something more sophisticated for my land hunts....

since i already have a Minelab im leaning more towards the E-trac. But id like to hear what you experts have to say about the pros and cons of both the E-Trac and the Spectra v3i.

thanks in advance,

HH

Try looking on youtube to see how they compare. I use a white's DFX but im really leaning toward getting an e-trac.

I've owned the White's and Etrac. Best buy for the money is the Explorer 2, used, for around $500.

fistfulladirt is right: The Exp. II was, in the opinion of many .... the best of the entire evolution/lineup of explorers. But of the two you are comparing, I'd go with the Etrac. JMHO.
