[size=medium]Hi JAB........Thanks for your response.

Charles (NY) is indeed a good mentor, and I'm sure he would advise you of potential problem in setting up the E-trac that may have lead to your experiences of the coin-nail test.
Charles has been around the scene for many years, and has a wealth of knowledge to share.

Heavy mineralisation could make your observations valid.
