Mostly for fun but might show those who are new to the Etrac something about it's "abilities"...
Ok, I understand this is somewhat controlled but very likely to be found in the field........
Turn on your etrac and open the screen wide open in quickmask..
Get a big rusty nail or any other piece of rusty iron (preferably straight or close to it) now hold it next to a high conductor coin (silver, claddime, quarter, etc..) in the same hand as the nail and pass it over the coil a few times with the nail being "inline" with the center of the coil...
now after noting the response/numbers, turn up the ferrous discrimination until you can't get a signal.
at what point did you lose response and get a null?
I don't expect any replies, just something to tinker with during downtime. worth doing atleast once though
Have fun, Dean
