    E-Trac motto:-

    [b]With apologies to Mel Gibson, but I thought it may be an apt quotation in view of the number of shot gun cartridge remains that surrendered to my E-Trac on Sunday. What a surprisingly beautiful day it turned out to be in view of all the rain we

    If M.L. Hinds can't answer the question, then maybe Jbow can................"Viva l'E-Trac".MattR.UK

    [b]Mr Hinds, can you please tell the forum what the magnetic permeability is of 'iron' and 'steel', compared to that of silver or copper items. Then explain how your detector sees THROUGH such ferrous materials, and by your own experiences, 'ignores them in preference to non-ferrous metals...

    Charles....Congratulations and 'Have fun'....Investment in an E-Trac must surely be a safer bet than a bank !!!!.......MattR.UK.

    Hi Charles....."He who dares, wins" Welcome into the growing band of Tracker.....Your wealth of experience from the past, and your imminent contributions will be eagerly awaited. A lots of us found the initial familiarisation curve of E-Trac learning, a little hard to accept because of our own...

    That's it......I've had enough...............MattR.UK

    Today, the E-Trac graduated. No more debate on its abilities. It is a star. A faint but persistent mono-tone....a glance at the depth gauge bottomed out at 12 inches. Battled with the roots covering........ A pointed blade on my spade was not helping. Finally hacked and weaved my way to...

    What does it signify? Going back to 'pounded sites'..............MattR.UK

    We all do that..............but common sense tells me that it is a comparison fraught with possible errors.. The minimum requirement, is that we take both the E-Trac AND the unit we are comparing it to. Then, alternately, we find a target with either machine and test the other unit, over the...

    E-Trac's misty morning in the woods.........MattR.UK

    [size=medium][b]Today, Sunday, started off as a foggy morning here locally. It felt like a day suitable for testing out the E-Trac, but where to go? I needed somewhere quiet and free from public hassle, to spend some quality time, testing the E-trac on real targets. So I headed for a well...

    Do you think your detector loses depth when you apply discrimination????.....Please explain clearly, what you mean.....MattR.UK

    I have been reading some earlier posts, and noticed that hackneyed phrase being used, "loosing depth by discrimination" Do they mean that their detector isn't DETECTING AS DEEPLY AS IT WAS prior to applying discrimination????????? If that is the understanding, then I respectfully suggest...

    MattyTrac...............thoughts

    [b]Hello guys. ("Good evening to Chris in Ohio") Just read your lead post. I understand the feelings and the underlying reasons of those Minelab enthusiasts who are perplexed over the seemingly incongruous Fe 12 factor, imposed on the E-trac. Jim has very lucidly explained his misgivings...

    Preliminary screen graphic for E-Trac......MattR.UK

    [attachment 103187 EtracScreen1.JPG] This graphic is offered as a preliminary suggestion of what US coinage etc. may look like. My thanks to Chris in Ohio for the data. (Hope I've transcribed it correctly.) It is only intended to provide an impression of relative data positioning on the...

    QUOTE:---Its not the easiest detector to use because it wall latch onto ferrous items Hi J Not sure that I see what exactly you imply by that.....Are you saying it acts differently to iron more so than any other detector? ALL detectors behave towards iron with the same 'passion'. ( pro rata...

    Tigers, waiting patiently for their F75's......MattR.UK

    Stu and John pensively contemplate the arrival of their new Fisher after a hard days detecting. Their T2's have thrashed the site, now they wonder what the F75 will find after the 'whirlwind' has already been over the field? [attachment 50691 busstop2.jpg]
