I went out to the park close to the house for a couple of hours today, finally no wind. I've been using the E Trac for a month and thanks to the good people here I think I'm beginning to get the hang of it. This has to be the cleanest park in city, I have to bring my own trash if I want to claim I'm picking up the junk ;D, I'm learning to hunt by sound, then check the numbers, for some reason it almost always shows the targets at 6" or more, when actually they are more like 2 to 3 inches. I know your thinking that I have the coil above the ground, but I don't I have it setting right on the grass. something I'll have to work on.There are so many targets that ring in good I reduced the sensativity way down so as not to be digging too many deep holes till the ground softens up. I'm will try and post pic of my finds
