So just got the etrac and finally got to go out with it. As soon as I got it a short while back the weather here has been horrible and work got busy. Anyway, had a few hours with it yesterday and must say that the OEM coil that comes with it was not very ideal for the locations that I search because of heavy trash. Even with the suggested settings it was mixed signal central. I found some cool little relics deep in the ground, but NO COINS, not even clad. However, the AT Pro with 5x8 coil blew away the ETRAC this day with finding coins in the trashy park.
So all that considered. I need a smaller coil. These are the coils I am looking at.
8x6 SEF coil - $149.95
Sunray X-8 coil - $205.00
Minelab 8" FBS Coil - $284.00
Pricing isn't a concern at the moment, but I am looking for the BEST of these. I have not seen anyone mention the Minelab coil very much, nor the X-8 as they seem to be more going for the x-5 but that is a bit small for my tastes I believe. The 8X6 has had a few good reviews. But there are only a couple of threads on this site that mention some of these coils in regards to others. I am looking for these specific coils. If anyone has reviewed these or has videos of these in action, please link me!!
Thanks!
