I thought I'd follow Cybersage's lead and create an E-Trac field reports thread since his V3 thread has been so successful. I hope you don't mind Jack.
The E-Trac is the latest high end offering from Minelab and there seems to be a lack of information on this forum compared to some of the other machines out there. This thread should be for the discussion and sharing of ideas, problems and settings. Comparisons to other detectors are welcomed as long as they are helpful and friendly. THIS IS NOT A THREAD FOR BASHING OTHER DETECTORS AND THEIR MANUFACTURERS!!!
So let's begin!
I took my E-Trac out for the first time this weekend. I'd like to post some of the responses I received from coins in the ground. I dug a wheat at 7". The FeCo numbers were 12-44 and the tone was pretty solid. I was running sens at auto +2 for a total of about 26 at the time. Deep on. I also hit an IH at 2" @ 11-37 with the same settings. This is also about where zinc pennies hit I noticed. Does anyone else find coins in the Fe 11 column often? Do they ever go to Fe 13? I dug several wheats between Co 42 and 45. I expected a dime at Co 45, but it was a wheat. I'm still learning, so some feed back would be nice in this area.
