A big thanks goes out to my brother for showing me the abilities of the E-Trac,rather convincingly. I recieved my new E-Trac a couple weeks ago and took to it like a duck in water.The finds are the highlights from the past couple weekends and the ring is from a half day trip to one of the beaches at a local lake. After pulling tiny split shot out of the beach I now know that the claims of the E-Trac being weak on gold are unfounded.
