I have heard people's mixed feeling about the use of the x-5 on the e-trac. I bought one last year and used it a few times. I didn't seem to notice much difference and thought that the stanadrd coil worked good enough.
Well......I was wrong >:#
Al and I have been POUNDING a particular site this year that never ceases to amaze me. In the field area, we both have pounded it from every direction. The last few weeks, I switched to the x-5...WOW ..the things that thing picks up that I missed with the larger coil! This weekend alone, on Saturday I managed 3 Liberty nickels and 2 buttons, on Sunday a Standing Quarter a Washington, A Merc and a Roosie, that's not to mention all the wheaties and clad. I have taken it through several really trashy areas...like next to a trash can and turned up silvers.I was pleasantly wrong about this coil, and will be using it A LOT more often thumbsup01
