I got my machine on May 31. I have been out with it, to sites I have repeatedly hammered with my ETRAC here in Texas. I have made no amazing finds......yet, but I am not really looking to....yet. I have been out with the machine on 5 occasions now, and each time, I have sought to learn the machine's capabilities better.
I can assure anyone however, that this machine is a monster. Once I get it down a bit better, it will start producing. Of that I am sure. I have found 4 silvers with it so far, but in fairness, I might have missed them with the ETRAC by not getting my coil over them. They are produced from a big lot that has given me an 1854 quarter as the oldest specimen.
I plan on hunting a virgin site within the next week or so, to see how she does then. I will report back.
The color screen, along with the ease of use is amazing. Separation is a dream. I am a bit irritated that my 17 inch and 6 inch coils have not arrived however. I REALLY need the 17 inch where I am. and I can hardly wait to see separation aspects of the 6 inch.
I mastered the ETRAC, and it has been incredibly good for my finds. I have amassed 61 silvers this year, and counting. The CTX is going to leave that number in the dust, I truly believe.....
