First forgive me if I ramble, I had a few Budweisers.
I tired the ET today like you said, ferrous, relics, auto+1, 4 tone. I found that it falses at least 50% less, probably 75% less in 2 tones with the same settings. That is the main thing I noticed today. I found a piece of iron about 3' long in the ground and worked all around it in auto and manual... 2 tones is better in ferrous, as far as falsing goes. I have yet to find iron that does not reveal itself for what it is wen I switch to digital and pinpoint.
I got to thinking after I got home about sensitivity. I tried setting manual sens to and below recommended sens. I found a piece of iron in the yard and tried switching to manual at and below "suggested" sens. I am not yet sure how much it helps.
The falsing seems also to be closely tied to swing speed, (especially if you swing too fast). A slow swing speed will still false but not nearly as much as a fast speed.
2 tones falses much less than 4 tones.
I still like conductive but have not compared 2 tone with 4 tone. I will though.
I look forward to your findings and those of others. To be clear... I struggled with the SE for the better part of a year and only began to understand it when I switched to AM/ferrous... however, I do not think that the E-TRAC will shine in AM/ferrous like the SE does.. it is different. I think it's strength will be in disc.
