In fact I absolutely love this detector and the only time I can imagine not using it is if I am cache hunting since it will not give a good reading on a pile of silver dollars...
The thing that bothers me is that I cannot figure out a way to tell a bronze memorial cent from a clad dime. My Sovereign will tell me the difference, why not the E-TRAC? They need to tweak the next model so that you do not have to dig every bronze penny to find a dime.
Oh well... I guess you can't have everything.

kidding aside... this has been an issue since day one.. they lumped it all into 12, on the explorer while some copper cents read close to dimes, the audio was always definitely higher if you used fe, quarters even higher and farther right.. One of the things I am trying to figure out is those middle tones, sometimes it seems like the 30's sound lower in tone than the 20's.. I still have only found one indian.. I am digging every 30-37 signal I get and all I am finding is aluminum.. and an occasional button or zinc penny.. not one indian from a place lived in since 1790? seems weird.. I got large cents, flying eagle, two center, half cent, then nothing except 1930's coins and higher except one barber quarter.. I haven't had the explorer over there since getting the Etrac.. maybe I will go find some with it.. Probably got a dozen silver coins there and a bunch of wheats from there total.
