Nice Largie! I was wondering how would you compare the E-trac to your AT-PRO?
Click to expand...

When the kids were young I used to aggravate them by asking them who they like the most their mom or me. I knew the real answer, but asked it anyways. Their answer universally was "I like you both the same." Lying little :rant:........:rofl:

Sooooo.... Harold it all depends on the type of hunt at hand. I've changed my hunting style from clad coin to hunting old coins/relics by necessity.

I've got late 1700's early 1800's house sites that are a bed of square nails at 6-7 inches, that puts the E-trac in a perpetual null in coin mode or any kind of mode with any kind of discrimination pattern. The AT Platform is able to run in it, with iron discriminated out. So I use both detectors virtues to my advantage, I mop up the coins above the nail bed with the AT due to its speed .......then come back in all metal in Two Tone Ferrous , low and slow, then slower, then really slow with the Etrac hoping to get a window of opportunity due to its depth.

I run this grid pattern several times over a period of several days until the flow of coins stops 100% and only then do I consider it Minelabed out:rofl:......and go seek some new turf to hunt.

I can and do hunt later with the Minelab due to its backlight.:thumbup:

On rainy days I really :inlove: the AT.:rofl:

The program-ability of the E-trac to be able to change tones is an awesome feature:thumbup:

The AT is definitely faster in a sprint race:surprised:

The E-trac is definitely deeper:yikes:

The AT is lighter.......but the E-trac is better engineered.

The factory service on the AT Platform is good, and I hope I never have to use Minelab's to find out.

Once when I was up in Alaska guiding I was in a restaurant with a client ordering breakfast. The guy ordered bacon and eggs. The waitress asked the guy how he "liked his eggs"....the dude thought for a minute and said "I like my eggs..... I really like my eggs:rofl:

I guess I like my detectors........I really like my detectors......depending on what I am using them for "I like them both the same" :devil:

:rofl:

The large cent is a great find, congratulations and a very good answer to the question about which detector you like best.

Best of luck, Randy
