So I have an E-Trac that I bought brand new when they fist came out. I used it maybe 4 or 5 times, life got busy, and then it sat in the closet ever since. I was an Explorer user for a long time before getting the E-Trac. I found out pretty quickly that the E-Trac is not a newer Explorer although I tried to treat it that way. With the Explorer, I used Charles(UpstateNY) settings which were a totally open screen and ferrous sounds. I like the ferrous sounds as I am trained to listen for the high tones among the low noise. I am going to try to give the E-Trac a shot at me learning it this season as I have a little more time than I have had in the past. What advice can you give me as far as making the transition from the Explorer to this detector? The one thing that I didn't like at all was the fact that most coins landed on the FE12 line, so I felt like I was getting much less information from the machine than I was getting with the Explorer. Any and all replies are welcome and appreciated. If anyone has a program or settings that they think will be a good fit for me, please post them here or PM me. I hunt schools, playgrounds and ball fields exclusively. Thanks for the help.
