Successor to E-Trac

[GunnerPop]

Anyone have a guess as to when, or if, one might come out? The E-Trac has been out a number of years now (8 years?) but I don't know how long the update cycle usually runs.

CTX 3030 is already out Gunner. What are you waiting for?

The 3030 is basically the successor to the E-Trac. The ETrac is part of what Minelab called the "E Series" consisting of all the Explorers, Quantro, Safari and ETrac. I do not believe Minelab is coming out with another ESeries detector...-

Yep... Since Minelab has shifted from FBS in the Etrac/Explorer series to now using FBS2 in the CTX 3030, I would expect the next upgrade to be to the CTX 3030.

Word on the street is that they are working on some kind of hybrid detector to be released spring 2017 but no one has any details other than that

Sounds like unsubstantiated rumor... Minelab is very tight lipped about what their engineering.....

What's their definition of "hybrid"?

Metal and plastic detector. I hear Lego is turning into the new gold.

Its a rumor on Tom Ds site discussing some new minelab patents. Maybe PI/VLF?
