Difference Between Trash & Treasure with the E-trac

Just a video showing some of the sounds and numbers the e-trac shows when going over trash or treasure. I didn't know it until I uploaded the video, but the numbers don't show up. I could see them when I was filming, but not when I uploaded it. Oh well, the numbers don't mean as much as the sounds anyway. Enjoy the video and HH!

It's what they been saying for years, "don't spend a lot on your equipment and dig every hit". Thanks for posting.

@109ejg Yeah, I agree for gold anyways. For deep silver coins that's a different story. Thanks for watching!

I own an etrac and thank you for the vid. To the skeptics that think that the discrimination is no better throw some iron all around on that plywood and watch the signals come through the null. Even below iron sometimes. It is possible to cherry pick silver with this detector but it comes down to the most important part of detecting, location. Don't dig zinc in curb strips and dig fe 9 to 17 anything at old homesites. If the location is super old I'll switch to 2 tone ferrous and open the patt

@Patrickma81 Thanks. I need to try the 2 tone ferrous.

Thanks for the tips. I guess i cant be lazy anymore

[TejasDigger]

@westtxdetector I get lazy too sometimes, lol.

[ryannlag]

@109ejg Of course thats true for people who cant afford a better machine!

@TejasDigger

Yes the etrac is a fine machine, I do not own one and trust me I would like to have one. But sometimes I feel if you have good hunting spots and know your machines capabilities you can dig some great stuff. I dug a gold pendant in a park with a tesoro cibola at 8" with a smooth strong signal.....Someday I will snag an etrac as they love finding large cents in the trashy cellar holes. Great Video thanks for sharing

@TejasDigger

Nice Video....However I have a buddy who hunts with me, we do mostly old cellar holes here in new england. He uses a ace 250 with the 6x9 coil and has found more fugio cents, bust large cents and colonial coins then most guys I know.  all with a detector that cost around $200...Why ? Well we have good hunt spots and most of these coins are within the first 8" of soil. I use mostly tesoro's and a T2 and he does just as good as me. It comes down to how well you know your machine

How many gold rings have I passed over thinking they were foil?

Probably quite a few..

Thanks for the video, man.

Now excuse me, I need to get digging....

[meeterdetektor]

Seems I found alot more last year with my ace 250...I learned from your video that maybe I should dig alot more of what I passed off as foil...seems to ring the same as gold and silver...thanks again for the video....if you ever make it to germany look me up for some detecting :-)

[meeterdetektor]

Hi I also have an E-trac and I live in germany. I have lots of old coins from the 1600's and one from the year 987. I liked you video but was wondering if you know an easy way to make your own pattern? I hunt mostly for gold and silver coins but sometimes I get clad. What I did was borrowed the minelab settings for coins and then edited it to find mine as well. What I found was the Minelab setting was garbage and I was missing coins. do you know another way to make a pattern? thanks

@NebTrac I'm glad you enjoyed it. A gold coin would be great to find. I need to hunt some older sites to find one though. Glad you enjoyed the video!
