Relic program

[101numlock]

i am new to the etrac and am going relic hunting in a field that holds some buttons and few bullets. Is the preloaded relic program any good? i have only used my machine in the yard and at the beach so far, about 5 hours of experience. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

YES!
The relic program is great, but so are all the other programs, and so is two tone ferrous with an open screen, and
so is any other customized pattern.
The point is that you need to experiment a little and find the settings that you are comfortable with and that work
for YOU.
Suggestions are great and every one has them. Every one also has an as.#$%@.
Just start swinging with low disc. If your location has too much junk add some disc for the targets that
you INTEND to find at that spot. Back to your question- Yes the relic program is good, but I don't use it
because it lets too much iron through for my spots.
Good luck.

For that hunting you need to use this:

Relic pattern
Deep=on
Fast=on
Auto+3
Pitch Hold
Ferrous Sounds
2 Tones

If you have relics to test with... learn the CO numbers. When hunting check every high tone (as opposed to iron tone) check the CO number first then if the FE number isn't outrageous... dig it. Or... dig everything that gives a high tone. Be sure to dig one way signals that have good consistant numbers from one direction. Remember, in order to hit non-ferrous targets you must use some disc. The software in the E-TRAC will signal on accepted numbers while ignoring nulled numbers. With the relic pattern you will knock out most nails and small iron but you'll still get large round iron.

IIRC, when you run Fast and Deep ON you are running fewer filters. Turning them off does more than having them on. Unlike the Explorer you can run them both on with no loss.

Trust the CO numbers but at a place like you are going to hunt you may want to dig pretty much everything that sounds good unless it is littered with farm implements or other junk... still, i'd dig more often than non. You can't imagine how many good targets are left because people think they are too shallow or big... and sound too good at that depth to be anything but trash... don't miss them. I dug two buffalo nickels and a V nickel yesterday at an old park. The buffalos were both 3" deep and the V was 4" deep. I once dug a nice zinc time fuse adapter from a 20" parrot shell, it was about 2" deep at a construction site where at least 50 people had hunted, probably more and more than once at that... and it was in the middle of the part of the site where everyone was concentrating... no one dug it... it read like a beer can. I did!

If you setthe ET like this it will be similar to the F75 or T2 but without the annoying tones. It will go deep and move fast and the VDI will be accurate, at least on the CO side, it will be close usually on the FE side... but you HAVE to use some iron disc if you want to get iron masked targets.

I use the relic pattern when I run 2 tone ferrous at old farms. It is a superb program and has found me MANY old coins hidden amongst the iron
