new Etrac in 2 days!

[Viddy]

I ordered my new Etrac yesterday and it should arrive in 2 days, on Saturday. I downloaded the instruction manual and read half of it just now. I got my Xterra 705 about 3 months ago (first detector) and already decided to upgrade...crazy huh? This is actually a third detector since I ordered a Fisher F2 for my GF to use sometimes and to take with me is someone, like my dad, wants to go with me. My girlfriend thinks I am nuts and I have OCD...LOL!

I am glad I got the 705 as my first detector before I ordered the Etrac. I am now familiar with a lot like the pinpointing, discrimination, notch, multi-tones, etc., so I can now learn and focus on the advance features which set the Etrac apart from the 705.

I am sure everyone has the local park or spot they hit and have cleaned out, and I can't wait to hit the couple near me and see what more I can find in spots I thought i hunted out with the 705.

The Etrac is not light and I heard you have to swing slow. I am probably going to sell the 705 and the F2 and get one good lighter-weight, fast swinging detector to compliment the Etrac. I took the F2 out a couple times and it was fun using something different occasionally. Anyone else do that?

Any ideas on a good, fast swinging, lighter-weight detector? $700-$1200 range?

I was thinking anywhere from a DeLeon or an F75 or ?

Congrats on the Etrac purchase! best coin shooter out!

Fast swing detector look into Fisher F75 SE or Teknetics T2 SE. Completely different that the Etrac your getting. Should compliment them well. Holler If I can help with any questions or pricing. Bart

etrac if you know how to use it does most, so my suggestion learn it and use it with extension cable. go back to places where allot iron and you will get more stuff if you slow and low.
