SE PRO vs E-TRAC in heavy mineralized soils
- Thread starter akille68

that it's all depends on who is operating the machine.
One person might feel the E-Trac is better while another user might feel like the SE is better.
It can vary 100% depending on what settings you are running...hunt style and speed you use... and what coil is at the end of the shaft.
I'm sure someone might have some technical specs that are supposed to prove one way over the other
...and I'll still state... it all depends on the variables I mentioned above...and probably a few more as well.

I tested my E trac on the hot desert soil and it was so HOT that It melted. Sorry thats the best I can do.

If my reading serves me correctly FBS was developed in Aussie land to deal with the HOT soil there and be an improvement over the single freq. Im not sure the Tech. changed except maybe recovery, the way the screen and targets are arranged plus a few more bells to make it easier to use out of the box. So i kind of like Bryces answer on this one. Once the minor upgrades are considered then you have to factor in the person using the machine.

About the only thing that might make a difference is the E-Trac usually is a tiny bit more stable/quiet .Both are a bit unruly in max manual sensitivity in heavy trash as well as heavy minerals.Either are deadly on deep coins in heavy minerlized soils with the great bonus of not having to try and keep them ground balanced every few feet
I found that big different is coils! I never used minelab 11 pro and I cant say how its on hot rocks I just know its deeper by inch compare with 1000-1050!, but my few 1000 and 1050 works perfect! quiet! except third one 1000 like hot rocks to much!! excelerator 10x14 coil, too very very sensitive 
to hot rocky rocks!!
