Well today was first dirt with the new Etrac. I was gonna go snow hunting on the ski hill but I do believe half the population of Grayling was there enjoying the warmer temps. So instead of a first snow dig report I had to settle for frozen dirt instead. However I didn't get totally skunked. I only found three pennies, one dime and a nickle. They had to be in the first three inches because after that I would have had to resort to explosives. lol Don't get me wrong, I got a lot of good signals but they might have just as well been in the next county. Pinpointing was dead on with this machine. My main problem is I have to lose the DFX mentality. I found myself swinging faster than I should have several times and once I really concentrated on SLOW! I was getting lots of hits. Just couldn't get to them. This patch of ground I hunted was around twenty feet wide by sixty feet long. It will take me a few trips out to get a better feel of this machine but I do think it is gonna be a killer.
