E-trac, OK...right out of the box, turn on and go? went to a spot that has been a clad zone for me and my son in the past.
I tried the stock out of the box settings for coins this morning....an hour of reading all kinds of numbers and digging just a few PT's. and rusty nails.
hour two..switch to the Andy Sabish coin pattern ...few bottle caps and some can slaw.
hour three...switch to Goes4Ever's settings and ran in TTF, nothing but all kinds of numbers and tones bouncing all over the place. I couldn't move the coil six inches without hearing a tone and having different numbers popup...nothing steady.
meanwhile my son and his friend MDing the same areas I was with his ACE 150 found a gold plated necklace two wheaties and $2.75 in clad...
here is what I was mostly running,
stock coin program
sensitivity on both manual 20 and auto
recovery deep off
recovery fast on
trash density high
ground difficult
threshold 17
volume limit 30
volume gain 30
response normal
tone ID 2
threshold pitch 28
anyone see anything I'm doing wrong? why would an ACE150 out coinshoot a $1500 E-trac? I know there is a learning curve, but right out of the box guys are finding stuff and I am having a great time digging to get nothing. (well besides junk)
