hunting with my 8x6 next time out...

[gunwolf]

E-trac has been sniffing out silver no matter what I do... I have been hunting with a friend who is using a Nox800... I found silver the last two times out... and last hunt he had the 15x12 and I had the 13" ultimate... he walked an area, and I followed... I found a silver locket and a silver ring... so just to make it fair on our next hunt I told him I would use my 8x6 sef... I have to swing slower and it won't get as deep.. but I am confident that the E-trac will not let me down... it's a super sniffer!

I really like the 13" ultimate it has great separation in my opinion and I use it often with success. I have the 8x6 too but don't use it much even though I have found silver with it .
I have found confidence and concentration is half the battle in metal detecting so l expect you will do well with the 8x6 and maybe your friend would do better with a smaller coil too .

I love my 6 x 8 SEF. I use it in the woods when you cannot swing a bigger coil. It can hit my 9" merc in my test garden with no issues. If I was in an open park, it wouldn't be my first choice.

I've found lots of silver with that coil. I also like the thick coil ears. Not worried about bumping into small trees or other stuff.

I think your friend missed the targets not the Nox.
