Ordered the E-trac!

Just wondering if any of you local Washingtonians use the E-trac and how it performs in our soil?  I will be putting my MXT and Fisher F-70 for sale soon!

Can't say I have any experience with one myself.

Well it should be here in the next 3 too 4 days, so I will give it a real good challenge in my front yard, been over it with Garrett, Whites, Fishers, and soon the E-trac!

Just to let you all know...The e-trac kicks ass!.......second to the last time out with it I found a 1897 barber dime...and a 1908 barber dime the hunt before that!....awesome machine!!!!

you will be very pleased with the increase in finds,  however your arm will get sore from digging the deep stuff you missed before

LOL ...I just went out with it yesterday, too a old favorite spot, searched a tiny area I had hit before with my Fisher CZ-5, the Mxt, and the fisher F-70.......popped out a 1942 merc dime in the wet sand about 6 inches deep, then proceeded to dig up a 1939 wheatie not long after that........This machine is amazing one you get the feel for it!

one thing I did find out,  until you really feel comfortable with what it's telling you,  dig everything,  be cause you just don't know what it is until you see it.  good luck and keep us updated

I found out that in some soil around here..that the numbers sometimes show up around zinc penny range but the depth meter show too deep for for what a zinc would be...I dug the targets and got 2 wheaties...little lesson learned!.....I cant wait until I get about a year on this thing!.....and I will keep you posted!

I want an E-Trac bad, but it won't be happening anytime soon.

Guess I'll have to make to most of my F2 for now.

Best of luck!

Sim_player I have a F-2 also, great detector for the money! I like how fast you can sweep that detector and still hit good targets!....The etrac does not like to be swung real fast....but man will it get deep even in our crappy soil! as long as you go slow!

Sounds like awesome digs. Keep up the good work!

Im having fun with it...everytime I go out Im like a kid in the candy store just waiting to pop out that silver....but for the life of me...the only silver coin that has eluded me is a silver washington quarter......Im pretty sure when I sweep over one I wont miss it...The E-trac kills the clad quarters...so  I just need to sweep over one   its my goal for this year!!!!!   wish me luck!

I don't use an etrac but always like to see what people find with them.  Keep posting, I would like to know more about your success with it.  I'm a white's guy and also use  a CZ-21 for beach and water.  It also is not too shabby on deep silver beach hunting.
Good luck.

well since my last post, found a couple nice silver rings, a tiny silver loop arrow thingy, and a very deep 1901 indian head penny.oh and a very old childs USA junk ring. I am probably forgetting a few finds but, those are the ones I remember...lol UPDATE!!!!!!! went out today and found these 2 babys....1920 merc and 1906 Indian....I was using 2 tone ferrous mode on the E-trac nail infested spot....but these coins were hiding with the nails, they were about 3 feet a part from one another! You guys wanted me to keep you posted on here...so I am 

Dude, don't you remember I planted thoughs coins last time we where there... :laughing7:lol. Can't wait to see what that bad boy does Saturday. going to get your silver Washington!!!

I hope so brutha!...thats my goal ! at least 1 washington quarter this year! and if i found one today i might have believed you...lol

Dude, that doesn't look like a barber and that indian isn't in as good a shape as the picture you sent me.

Woops grabbed the wrong picture....Im trying to fix the pic.....but it stops loading half way through...here are the coins I found today...had to remove the other post...could not modify it.....anyway got a 1900s barber dime and a 1897 indian.....lets see if this works?
