I bought the E-trac from Detector Depot about 3 weeks ago. I have about 50 hrs. on the machine. I can tell you that it is a winner.
I don't think it is any deeper than the Explorer but a heck of alot faster and more stable. I have dug 14 silver with the machine and about 40 wheats that I had missed with other machines including the Sov and Explorer. Deepest coin was an 11" 1941 Washington quarter sitting at an angle and got an 8" 1912 Barber dime. Both of these coins were measured. I dug a no date Standing liberty quarter yesterday it's been 27 years since my last one. It takes some getting used to with all the iron at high tones like the coins but I think I'm on to something that really makes them sound different. I want to give it a little more time before I post the mode. I also have really started to like the 4 tone for fast hunting and cherry picking. I ordered the SEF 15x12 and I am looking forward to seeing if I can tell a positive difference in it and the Pro Coil. I enjoy reading this forum and it has really helped with fresh ideas and approaches on the E-Trac.
