e-trac on the beach

Well spent my second day with my e-trac at the beach again.... got lots of clad and junk jewelry.no heavy yellow stuff.... this particular beach gets lots of pressure. i have been pretty successful with my excal. over the years. well as the e-trac manual suggests in a note on page 54 to run the sensitivity in manual on the beach. I did that and with less falsing. was able to run on 16. it seems i was getting a bit deeper which is definately true with the excal. in manual sensitivity. I also like the 4 tone better than the multi. and after running the excalibur for so long i like the pitch hold feature of the e-trac. i also noticed that i have to drag my scoop a little further behind me as i hunt so i must be gett'n a lil deeper..... and it was windy so for headphones i used my JVC marshmellows. they are extremely confortable and block out alot of noise especially wind. they are very soft earbud type. they fit deep into the ear best $15 i ever spent....i also lowered my threshhold tone. wow my excal is getting dusty in the corner.........

but i run sensitivity at auto +3

i tried manual, which i have always believed and lived by, but not so with this machine, at least not right now, runs very smooth and settles in around 23 on my beach.

i did try I M some yesterday with 2 tones. and ferrous - i liked it too - i saw a post on another forum by Inidana Heath and he uses it for coin hunting around iron.

good luck
 
look like they might be ok...............would be damn light

u say they kock out the wind and wave noise pretty good??????
 
better than my koss and my acusound phones. you gotta try them... remember you will need a 1/8 in. to 1/4 in. adaptor. the cord on them is a bit short. they are fine for beach hunting with a long handle scoop where you dont have to put the detector down. for the dirt when your on your nees there a little short. i believe there is an extension with the adaptor available at an electronics store like circuit city,best buy, or radio shack. give them a try.
