I've been an avid treasure hunter for some years now. 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. 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. Art Czepczynski – Minnesota, USA
