<strong>I decided to buy an E-TRAC seven months ago.</strong> I'm a relatively new metal detector who was using another name detector without much luck. I received my E-TRAC and set out to see if the E-TRAC lived up to all its hype I've heard about. As you can see from the pictures, IT DOES. I've found hundreds of coins and relics in the last seven months. I've found gold, silver, wheaties, tokens and Civil War era buttons along with many other relics. This is the best machine out there bar none. I would without a doubt recommend the Minelab E-TRAC to anyone wanting the best machine out there.
