Beware of the man who owns just one gun, he probably knows how to use it.Quote

So true. Getting caught up in the new gear marketing frenzy is sometimes hard to resist. In the end we can only use one machine at a time and the more we know about the one we have, the better the outcome.

Yes.....brilliant post and so so accurate.I laugh when i hear somebody's field has come alive after they have bought the latest technological marvel.....all i can say is the detector they were using before was either useless or they hadn't got a clue how to use it.
Also,40 years experience gives your words quite a lot of weight......it's so good to hear somebody talking sense.

I have to somewhat disagree..... Used a Tesoro GSII for 22years and made a lot of great finds. It's the only machine I'd ever used at that time. Started to realize that the older coins were a little deeper than the GSII was capable of so being very happy with Tesoro I stepped up to a brand new Tejon. What I noticed real quick was the Tejon was a much deeper machine than the GSII....BUT, the machine didn't give me the extra info needed to help my decision of whether to dig or not? So the time I waisted digging deeper crap actually slowed me down over the course of a hunt and less GOOD targets dug? So after following the forums here I started to notice more GOOD old coin finds on the eTrac forum so I took the spendy plunge on the eTrac. If I wouldn't have spent so much dough on the eTrac I might have wrapped it around a tree in the beginning....lol Once I started to learn the machine my finds (old coins) jumped dramatically and I kept saying to myself.....WHY didn't I do this change years ago!!!!!!! I no longer coin shoot as I have to travel too far so I've switched over to nugget shooting but I'll never part with the eTrac. With me it boils down to the fact that my hunt time is valuable and limited and the extra info the eTrac gives me allows me to be much more productive with the limited time I have. My trash to treasure ratio did a complete 180 turn once I learned (still learning) the extra info the eTrac gave...…. jmho

The Etrac is an awesome detector. But main stream folks now consider it, along with many other units, old school or old tech. Right now if your not swinging an Equinox, XP Deus, or an Anfibio you're not with the program. In next few months those will probably be considered out dated and if you don't get with program you not gonna be successful. lol.
