Eindelijk de Etrac is binnen
De detector ziet er prima uit...
Morgen hopenlijk nog een zoekplekje vrij

Kan ik hem voor het eerst testen
Wat raden jullie aan, gewoon het coin programma laden en zoeken?
Of toch nog wat tips bv.

Van de week ga ik me meer verdiepen in deze detector.

Gr vatos

ja eerst aan zetten

haha ed , dat is een goeie

Ik zou hem op relic zetten. Zo pak je ook nog de kleinere dingetjes.

Dagobert

Je was me voor
of batterijen erin

batterijren in een mag neet doen

Hoi

als je hem niet kent gewoon op Quickmask zoeken

de vertikale lijn op 0 en de horizontale lijn op 26

Dit is een heel goeie instelling om mee te beginnen.
De gevoeligheid op automaat zetten als je teveel nevengeluiden hebt.


Turn the E Trac on and go to the Quick mask screen.
With the Navigation buttons toggle the ferrous reading up to say 33 ( full open is 35) and the Conduct reading on the left at zero, or alternatively to start with at 1 or 2 ( any higher runs the risk of losing small hammered cuts or whole)

I have now combined the quick mask screen with a simple nails reject pattern in the bottom right hand corner of the screen (see photo below)

Hit the detect button and the screen will ask wether you want to load this screen into the smartfind one, press yes.

Go into menu next and scroll through the headings to Sensitivity. mines set as
Sensitivity.......Manual
Manual level.... 27 (set this to suit conditions)
Auto level..... +3 (incase you use auto)

Go along to next stage in menu which is Audio.
Threshold level... Just Audible
Volume limit......30
Volume gain......24 (or less. No higher)
Response.......Pitch hold. (or one of the others if you prefer).

Go into the Tone ID settings and choose to suit

No Tones........multi
Sounds...........conduct (ferrous if you prefer)
Variability....... 30
Limits............ 30

Threshold pitch...1

Go along to next stage which is Expert.

Recovery deep...on
Recovery fast.....off
Trash density....Low (or high to suit conditions)
Ground.......Difficult (or neutral )
Noise cancel......2 or choose 1-10

Go along to next stage which is Preferences.

Contrast........15
Pinpoint mode...Normal (or sizing)
Show sensitivity...On
Show mode info...On
Display timeout...Off or On to suit.

My choice of response is Pitch hold because I love the way it grabs signals and holds them until you go over something else. It also gives a nice two way signal same as Normal. I do use smooth response but only if the ground is good. I'm not into too much noise. Have never personally used the Long setting so can't comment.

I am finding the above settings suit most of the field types I detect on. The only setting I alter is sensitivity to keep things quiet and stable.

The main Quickmask screen can be easily altered in the field to suit the amount of ferrous and conduct you want to knock out.
Conduct line on the screen is the only one I havent settled on yet. Im still digging an annoying amount of silver paper / foil which I would like to reject but I dont want to risk losing cut qtrs & halves of hammered which come in very close by.
Up to now Ive dug little or no iron with these settings. With the new dual screen showing either digital or smart screen top or bottom and the smallness of the crosshairs Im finding Im using the variable tones more and watching the digital numbers & cross hair less. I am digging every good stable two way signal.
The digital readout can be a bit confusing especially for a new owner. Most coins and artefacts are coming in at a ferrous value of 12 out of the ground with the E trac but a lot of signals where the target is still in the ground are showing at totally different values to start with. This is all determined by the way the target is laying in the soil or wether its sat near some Iron or trash. Approaching the signal from a different angle or even sweeping fast or slow can change the digital values totally.
If in doubt and its a good two way signal, Dig It. Hope this helps some of the confused newcomers.
For anybody more experienced and can detect through the noise barrier Keep all the settings above but use Smooth response and maybe max out sensitivity, this will put you into Slow & Lows set up. The only thing you will need to use the last set up is a good pair of headphones with volume control on them to turn the background noise right down.

Its early days yet and we might alter things a bit, later on

Bedankt tot nu toe.
Loop momenteel nog met het standaard coin programma, ommde detector te leren kennen.
Het is wel een dieptekiller, vandaag een munt op circa 30 cm ....

gaat die goed Arend

Hij gaat goed Bubba....zoals jij al aangaf een prima detector!
Moet alleen nog veel leren, hoop op 1 mei aanwezig te zijn.

Gr Arend

dat dacht ik ook
ik dacht laat maar zitten
ik ga wel magneten

hoop op 1 mei aanwezig te zijn.
zeker doen
