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...
