I went to a local site so I could start getting used to the language. I dug most everything but iron. I ended up with several wheat pennies and two silver Washingtons. I am not sure the etrac and explorer wouldn't have found what I found today. The machine certainly didn't disappoint me. The wireless was flawless with my Killer B phones. The balance was good. The target information was accurate. The machine was very stable. The pinpoint was a good as I've seen. But those are not the reason I bought it. I bought it because it is all those things AND waterproof. But I won't be able to test those capabilities until the waterproof headphones arrive. We all want to like a new detector when we buy one. I have learned to give them time before declaring them the best ever. Minelab really has added some very helpful features, and, so far, it seems to be doing what it says it will do.
