    where to buy an Minelab E-TRAC for only a cheap price??

    I am looking to buy a Minelab E-TRAC to buy. My price range is around $750.00. Does anybody know where I can get one with the accessories like the exchange software and double D 11" coil. If anybody knows someone that is selling one for my price range.

    thanks,

    There are no cheap E Tracs Until they stop finding silver they will always be in demand. Seriously though, E bay is probably one place you may see one for that price. Otherwise, just someone selling that is getting out of the hobby. Good luck and I hope you find one
    Finding relics is in my blood

    Probably the best time to get one was when a lot of guys "upgraded" to the CTX 3030. Seems there was a few for sale on this forum at reasonable prices. Be sure to get one with a sunray probe if you can!

    Looking at completed sales on eBay, the lowest sale price I can find for an E-Trac is $755.

    It seems that most of the used ones are selling in the neighborhood of $850, and closer to $1,000 if they have a Sun Ray target probe.
    Lifetime totals:
    9 Large Cents, 415 Indian Heads, 2 Two Cent Pieces, 1 Capped Bust Half Dime, 1 Seated Half Dime, 10 Shield Nickels, 68 V Nickels, 124 Buffalo Nickels, 31 War Nickels, 16 Seated Dimes, 131 Barber Dimes, 405 Mercury Dimes, 249 Rosies, 4 Seated Quarters, 18 Barber Quarters, 19 Standing Liberty Quarters, 89 Silver Washingtons, 1 Seated Half, 3 Barber Halves, 16 Walking Liberty Halves

    Hi... I'm new here. But to answer the OPs question... I just got my E-Trac (gently used) through Backwoods Detector Sales for a little less than what your budget is. It included shipping and wired headphones.

    I have also seen a few for sale between $700-1200 on my local CL. I missed the lower priced ones while I was on vacation. I found the above one through website classifieds. Ebay is another choice, just a little tougher.

    So yes, it is very possible. Just keep your eyes open, and don't be afraid to haggle.
