Hi All, I have had my etrac for awhile, still learning,
I am in the middle of reading Andy Sabisch etrac/explorer book which has been a great help.
I have a few questions, I use the pistol probe, and have ordered a sunray X1 probe (pistol probe is great, but theres no discrimination,
and often its just too powerful, but is perfect for non trashy areas. )
where is the normal/best place to mount the X1 (new version)? on the top/bottom/side?. also any tips on how to avoid having the cable hanging down/snagging.(its not arrived yet but want to be ready to install)
another question, A problem I am having is, i'm detecting a local wooded area, i'm in the UK and theres tons of history reported in the area, spanning over 1,000 years,
simply put, i'm getting too many signals, deep ones, the ground is not easy to dig, but getting a fair number of seemingly solid signals, reading at 6"+, some 12"+.
yet when I hit pinpoint on the etrac, it cannot read the signals, I end up having to leave these as there seems to be a signal every few feet.
I'm learning how to ingore/spot hot rocks, iron falsing etc, but what does it mean if I get a target, but pinpoint cannot find it? what sort of depth would it have to
be to fail to pinpoint?
I'm guessing many of these targets may be iron falsing or something else, that I will continue learning how to avoid.
Thanks all
