I know E-tracs are good machines but I don't like the way they sound/detect. does minelab make a machine that doesn't work like the e-trac? One that has a typical beep like the AT Pro for example.

I came to my Etrac from an ATPro, and also absolutely hated the barrage of different sounds. As usual, I’m too dumb to quit once I start something and after awhile it all made sense. Now I wouldn’t trade it for anything.
If the flutey sounds of “multi tones” are just not your cup of tea, you can always set your tones to 1,2 or 4 tones.

I think he is referring to all the ooing and ahing the Etrac makes on iron.
Stick with the Etrac, very good coin Hunter.

quit trying to force the detector to be something else! Learn the dang machine for what it is.

Personally, sometimes i just know within a very short period of time if i'm not going to gel with a machine or not, i don't fight it, i learn what i can and sell it on, no sense tormenting over it.
Hunt in 2 tone ferrous. This will give you a grunt on iron and higher tones for non ferrous targets.
I like the multi tone myself and love the non fe co numbers of the etrac. Once you learn it I doubt you will want to part with it.

You could use a Sovereign gt, but it would be hard for me to use in the dirt.

Use multi-tone conductive but try a variability around 12-15

After you hear the sweet sound of silver a Minelab E-Trac can make a few times you will be able to answer your own questions.
They dont call them silver suckers for nothing.
