Hello everyone in E-Trac land. (Doc) here from BC Canada. A year and a half under my belt with other machines and I'm seriously hooked. Been reading and have made the odd post. Got my Trac last week just as the poor weather hit again so I have only gotten out Sat for a couple of hours.
I have exchange on the puter and the emulator but have to learn them also. Can't even load a pattern. Obviously, I need good time outside for this beast. Only got some deep pennies and aluminum so far but I'm ready to learn. Canadian clad will be a problem but now I'm going for the old and gold. I appreciate the info here thanks so far and hope to share in the near future.
cheers
Doc

Yep NebTrac
The Canadian coins changed in 2000 to 92/94% steel with plating so they are not going to be fun. The dollars are 91% Ni with bronze plating. Two dollars are Ni outer core and Cu, Ni, Al inner so they with come through in m a different area about F1/C30. My other machines will be for them. I am going to be using the Trac in older beaten areas for large copper, silver, and gold. Hopefully I get some. UK next year also.
thanks
Doc

Hi Jennifer
I'm over here in Penticton. Retired to here from Van a little while back. Beating up the beaches, parks and schools. Lots of competition though so you have to get up pretty early in the morning. I have other machines for the Canadian clad jsut in case I need some fast change.:laugh:
cheers
Doc
