Finding meteorites with E-trac

Living in the high desert of Wyoming, I'm thinking of spending time looking for them, especially on my own property. Anybody find one with an E-trac? Would be interested it the details. HH

My Etrac thinks the stoneys, and the stony irons are hot rocks and she doesn't signal on them, hits the irons like a champ though, this may also have something to do with the neutral and difficult soil settings, I don't know for sure. Different meteorites have lots of different materials in them in varying quantities, so I don't think I would use the Etrac for meteorites. Do a search for meteorite forums and ask the members on there what they use, most are using GPX's, TDI's, 2200's and MXT's believe it or not. They seem to be very singularly minded against Explorers and Etracs. If you could get your hands on some meteorites (university or museum) and swipe them past the coil in various settings, you could probably figure out a way to use your Etrac but when I did that, I had pretty poor results and there are other machines that really shine on meteorites in comparison, the Se for one.
