<p><strong>I've been an avid treasure hunter for some years now.</strong> I've had average success but nothing to brag about. When discussions arise, as they often do, about great machines Minelab is always on the tip of everyone's tongue. I finally purchased an E-TRAC and was not prepared for the type of success it would bring. The types of finds you always dream about have finally become a reality.</p> <p>The ease and simplicity of this machine coupled with its power easily show in what I was able to find over a single summer in grounds I detected previously with top of the line machines. Over 100 silver coins which included many firsts. I can finally say I've found 3 Seated Dimes, 2 Barber Halves, A Walking Libery Half, 17 Barber Quarters and hand fulls of Barber and Mercury dimes, not to mention Indianhead pennies and the assorted generations of nickels. An impressive feat with a machine I only owned for one summer. Thanks Minelab for putting out a detector for the 21st century.</p>
