    Backlight

    Can the backlight be completely shut off on the ctx? I've tried, can only get the intensity down to 1. I cannot get the backlight to turn completely off, assuming there is an off position.

    Mineralization

    Can anybody show me a web site or explain to me if there is a way to determine the mineralization in the ground. If there is, is there a way to figure out which detector, by the mineralization, may be the best suited for the area in which you live?

    E-Trac My Mode or My Pattern Question

    Reading the e-trac manual has left me a bit confused at what the difference is between these two methods of saving programs. Can someone explain how the two are different. Thanks in advance for any info you may have. Gary

    platinum ring numbers

    Hello All- I'm sure this has been on the forum before, but I couldn't find any chart about this. Do platinum rings fall into the same numbers, more or less, as gold, nickels, foil, pull tabs and pop tops?? If there is a chart on this forum somewhere please direct me to it. Thanks, Gary

    Another Assumption????

    Since, in my case, 80% of the pull tabs, pop tops I find are in the 12-15 through 12-19 range. See my previous post. And by looking at what has been posted about finding gold items and their corresponding numbers, seeing that not that many rings fall into the range of 12-15 through 12-19. Is it...

    Can We Make This Assumption???

    So...here is my assumption. If your finding nickels, foil, pop tops, pull tabs with your e-trac...then the program your using will find gold items??? Does this seem like a good assumption?

    Digging Low Tones

    Hello All- I have a question for all you fellow E-trac users. A lot of times when I detect I get a number of low tones, 12-02 thur 12-28, and the cursor is in the open area of my detector, BUT, when I go into the pinpoint mode, the cursor, sometimes, moves into the discriminated out area of my...

    OK Andy...Here's One...Anyone Else Notice This About The E-Trac?

    I've noticed something about my E-Trac that I have a question about. When I get a low conductor sound that sounds good and looks good, digitally, when I pinpoint I notice that the cursor bounces to a different line than the F 12 line. So far everything I've dug that has a low conductor sound and...

    Looking For Gold; What Numbers Do You Dig?

    Hello All- I've been using my E-Trac for a few months now and I've noticed a "trend", at least in my neck of the woods here in So. Ca., which is, when I find a nickel my digital reading has always been either 11-13,12-13, or 13-13. I haven't dug any other F values, 04, 08 etc. with a C value of...

    Andy S. and all other concerned E-Trac users...Help

    Ok folks, I mostly hunt parks and I'm not understanding what I may be doing wrong, if anything. So...help is needed here. My set up for my E-Trac is as such: FE 27 to 35 disc out, plus a bit more at the bottom right corner; Vol. Limit 29; Gain at 24; Response Normal; Auto plus 1,2, or 3 if...

    Platinum Ring Tones

    Hello All- I was detecting at a park today and a guy asked me if I could help in finding his lost wedding band. I told him would try but I had no success today. As I have never found a platinum item before, I was wondering if someone on this forum could give me an insight as to what kind of...

    Silver rom a Neighbor's Yard

    Hello All- My neighbor across the street saw me using my detector in my front yard and came over to inquire as to what I was doing. I told him I was testing the different settings on my E-Trac. Joe, my neighbor, became very curious and interested in how the detector worked and was very surprised...

    My First Gold with the E-Trac

    Hello All- I was hunting a tot lot during my lunch break on Tuesday finding the usual clad, when, while hunting under a jungle gym unit, I found this nice little piece of 14K gold. The area I was hunting was fairly confined, about 4 or 5 feet in diameter and only about 4 feet of head room...

    E-Trac Xchange Problems

    Hello All- Me again...with the same problem. How do you get to see the programs with the Xchange program. I don't want to load them into the machine just yet, I want to view them first. I've read and re-read all the post about the Xchange, but it still doesn't work or I'm not understanding what...

    Making a Pattern

    Hello All- First a question, then I'll let you know my first impressions of my E-Trac. My question is...where do you set the sensitivity, if it even matters, when you start to make a pattern? Can you make a pattern when in your home or is there possibly too much interference:shrug: Now for my...

    Downloading E-Trac Programs

    Hello All- Does the E-Trac have to be plugged into the computer before you can download a program to your computer? I thought you could download a program into a folder and open it later. I loaded the DVD into my computer, saved it to my hard drive, but when I tried to open one of the programs...

    Beginning steps to making your own program

    Hello All- To make your own disc pattern, with the SE, I was told to start with the sensitivity at the lowest setting. Is that the same with the E-Trac? Also, can you program the detector while in your house or is there too much interference and must do the programing outside? Thanks in advance...
