HOLY CRAP...thought it was CLAD but it WASN'T...and it was an HONEST 11" DEEEEEP
UPDATE ABOUT MY SUNRAY COILS FIELD TESTS IN WESTERN & EASTERN TREASURES MAGAZINE: I wanted to let some of you know who were interested...that I was just informed my field test reports will now be in the May and June issues...which will be available in March and April. This is TWO MONTHS LATER than I was originally told.
The first issue will contain the X-5 field test and the second issue will contain the X-12 field test.
I was expecting the first test (X-5 coil),...to be coming out in less than a week (March issue)..then the X-12 coil test the month after...but again....the release date of each coil test is going to be two months later as stated.
My hunting buddy "SwampThing" wanted to go hunting for a while today (wednesday 1/27)
He likes using my coils...so I get to use HIS E-Trac when he does.
Pretty fair swap wouldn't you say.
Anyway I am VERY impressed with his E-Trac and although I love my explorer and it is my #1 machine...I like to use his E-Trac at different sites just as I use different coils in different situations.
We hunted a park where I just found an 1892-O Barber quarter 3 days ago.
Today though I hunted in a very sandy area and I assure you it has been thoroughly explored for years...and E-Tracked heavily the last 2 years.
Anyone who says the E-Trac won't hit deep coins is
Anyone who says the E-Trac is hard to learn is
Anyone who says it is not a turn on and go machine is...well...you get the picture.
These coins are from 3 hours of me hunting with "Heavy D's" E-Trac and they were very deep.
I dug to China for the quarter and when it came out of the crusty, muddy sand I said "NO freakin' way a clad quarter should be that deep.
Actually my words were a little more harsh...but you get the picture.
In case you are wondering...YES I was talking to myself. 
It was crusted with sand and tarnished dark black...and I did not even know it was silver until I went to the car to thaw out my hands. Then I thought I noticed a little shiny rim peeking through.
2 of the wheaties were a measured 10" deep...and the other 3 were all at 9" deep.
The black quarter was an HONEST and measured 11" deep.
"Heavy D" found 2 wheaties and broke out of the silver slump with a deep Roosey. He was using my 15" WOT coil and my SE. for the wheaties...and found the deep merc using the Sunray X-12 on my SE.
He has an EX2...an SE...and the E-Trac...yet not only does he rarely use his E-Trac...he also chooses to use MY SE....and MY coils because he thinks my coils and machines are lucky
...and his are cursed
Man what a fun few hours.

You Rock!! 
The ET is my MD of choice But I compare the 2 to a wild mustang and a tame one The SE in Manual sens has killer depth were as the ET in Auto gets out of a null quick allow you to find those targets that others have missed with great depth I have dug 12" targets with both detectors either way you slice it you cant go wrong HH RonC
