Thread: Just bought an E-Trac..

    Just bought an E-Trac..

    Well my search is over for a good deal on an E-Trac.. Catskillcomics (Scott) was kind enough to let me in on a lead on a barely used one from a nice gent.. We talked for awhile this morning and struck a deal. Can't wait to give it a spin.. Hopefully I'll be posting some deep Silver finds..

    Congrats Bruce! You will love the machine, even if at first it seems to be speaking like R2-D2. lol Learn the language, and you will do very well with the machine. thumbsup01

    Glad to see you finally pulled the trigger on the Etrac Bruce! I think once you get to learn its language you are going to love it! You will definately notice an improvement in depth over the DFX. thumbsup01

    Don't listen to them, That machine is no good!! lol lol Ok maybe it's cause you live too close to me and I don't need the competition We'll have to get together and hit a park. We could ask Angel to come too, but he has to promise only to dig the Wheats

    Hey Bruce, the Etac is a fantastic detector and one that you will never outgrow, it just grows better the more you use it like a fine wine.

    Well, it's here all set up and ready to go. Can't wait for the weekend. Many spots to revisit and look for the deep Silver. Cindy might never see me again..

    Good luck. Just remember to go slower that usual. I call it hovering. Don't be afraid to use auto +3 for sensitivity when you first start out. Believe it or not, it goes pretty deep and keeps falsing to a minimum. And with the E Trac, discrimination doesn't kill you on depth like some other brands do. God, I feel like an overprotective mother watching her kid learn to drive lol lol Come on Angel, some tips for the man

    Weathers been very nice but as usual I had to work. Did checkout the new tones I'll be hearing and read the manual, well somewhat.. I'm a hands on learner and need to spend time with it in the parks. First impression is this machine is quite different than a Whites. I can not wait to see how it does tomorrow if the weather holds out.

    Thanks for the tips George.... any tips or help for an E-Trac newbie is welcomed..
