    Coil question

    I need to replace my CTX 11 (stock) coil. I was happy with the stock coil. Since I have to spend the money, I was wondering if there is a better all around coil on the market now that fills the stock coil slot? I realize this is a somewhat subjective question, but knowledgeable opinions...

    E-trac is kicking my &%%

    I posted this on another site. I thought I would also get feedback from fellow E-trac users since the E-trac is uniquely (and in my opinion, poorly) balanced. I love my E-trac and really don't want to give it up. However, it is physically getting the best of me. I can no longer swing it for...

    ergonomics

    I love my E-trac, But my elbow and shoulder don't agree with me. A few hour hunt is starting to really wipe my arm out. How dos the CTX compare to the E-trac for arm fatigue?

    2-tone ferrous nets 2nd IH penny.

    2 hour hunt today at a very trashy site netted 3 wheaties and a 1903 IH penny, my 2nd IH. I spent half my time in coin mode and half in 2-tone ferrous. Didn't dig a good target in coin mode and spent much of the time nulled out. With a little effort I was able separate targets out in TTF. The...

    Minelab service

    I had a beef with Minelab's failure to return calls when I needed my etrac repaired. However, credit given where credit due. When I finally spoke with someone, they let me know exactly how to return the detector for service. They then called to let me know they had received it at their...

    I can't find an IH penny:surrender:

    I have been swinging my Etrac for over a year. During that time I have found wheaties, mercs, barbers, walkers and buffs. I have not found a single Indian head. I have reached the point where I feel I must be messing up some how. Any ideas what I may be missing?

    Pinpoint button failing

    The pinpoint button on my E-trac is failing. I have to push it multiple time to get it to work. Has anyone else had this problem, and is there a fix other than sending it in for repairs? I don't relish the thought of being without it for an extended period. Thanks for any input and happy hunting.

    First Barber - Hooray!!!!!

    Went out yesterday to a local sports field adjacent to a closed turn of the century school. Hunted for a few hours and found the usual mixed bag of trash, memorials and clad. I also found a 1919 wheatie and what I thought was a mercury dime. I was excited - only the third mercury I have found...

    Ferrous numbers question

    I'm still in the early learning stages with the E-trac. I have read and think I somewhat understand why the ferrous numbers are less stable. I am looking for feedback from other users to help me decide at what ferrous number will I stop digging targets. What is the highest ferrous number you...

    Noob question

    I am brand new to E-trac. Have been swinging a X-70 for the past year or so. I was at a local park were I could not dig every signal and came across several targets that sounded good - repeatable solid sounding signal reading 35-47. Since this was a long way from the 11-13 ferrous reading for...

    Did I make a mistake?

    I never buy the newest technology. I wait and see how it does first. At least, I don't usually.... I have an E-trac on the way and am suffering a little insecurity on my decision. There doesn't seem to be a clear consensus on the E-trac yet. I have half decided to try and work out an exchange...

    Coil question.

    I am a current X-70 owner. I have decided to make the leap and buy the E-trac. My wonderful wife has told me to buy a second coil as an early Xmas present. My question is what coil do I want??? I will be hunting primarily old parks and home sites. Coins primarily with some relic hunting. Tough...
