Southwind I understand what you're saying. This is one advantage the CTX brings to the table. You can leave screen open more or less and assign say just one lower tone for the (usually junk range and nickels) and then a higher tone for the (copper and silver range). Then you would hear only 2 tones and can study the higher tone targets. The etrac with open screen gives the tones (they vary as they move up in conductivity). So you would have many more tones to decipher (drive one crazy easy), and could cause a person to miss a coin.

Quick hunt in the city park with the Racer, Deus and E-Trac

This is why I look forward to your posts in the future when you feel more confident in your understanding of the Racer tones and whether you can continue to adhere to this style of hunting while using it or if you will return to proven more discriminating detectors. I believe this type of high gain unit will struggle in modern trash like other high gain units----nothing is that different or it would have been commented on by qualified non biased testers. I know everyone has the "trashier park" and it's "like nothing you've ever seen before" but I'm still waiting for a demonstration of that with the internal microphone that demonstrates the nuances that allows this to be greatest thing since running water.
Sprchng,
Okay give me the name of a detector that hunts coins well in trash???
Okay give me the name of a detector that hunts coins well in nails/iron???
I use quite a few flagship detectors. The Racer with small coil is the real deal. Nokta CoRe very similar as well. The audio on these 2 monsters does lend a lot of information. TID is pretty tight too. Many times over targets tighter than etrac/CTX. Combine the intelligible tone over coins vs junk and tight TID. This sounds like a good machine for the $$$$$$$. No monkeying around with disc, recovery delay settings, freq, etc. You'll eventually see they do have advantages over many detectors for the $$$$.
