Its sleek, sturdy design, innovative control panel, intuitive menus, clear LCD, robust lightweight coil and comprehensive targeting options set E-Trac apart from any other detector available today. Minelab has taken a further ground breaking step by incorporating a USB interface, which will allow you to download and upload E-Trac settings, User Modes and Discrimination Patterns using your own Personal Computer (PC). E-Trac will locate valuable metal objects in a variety of mineralized ground conditions such as extremely salty soils, sea water, wet beach sand and highly magnetic ground conditions. By using the E-Trac you can become one of the many successful detectorists who combine their passion for the outdoors with the excitement of discovering valuable coins, relics, gold and jewelry on a regular basis. E-TRAC Technology   E-Trac delivers Full Band Spectrum (FBS) with Simultaneous Frequencies ranging from 1.5kHz - 100kHz through its powerful microprocessor. The frequency range means that the signal received from the detector coil is analyzed from a wide range of responses. This allows E-Trac's advanced signal processing to rate detected objects according to their ferrous and conductivity (FE-CO) characteristics and analyze more target information so that the target identification (ID) is more accurate. Minelab's Smartfind™ is a unique two-dimensional scale of discrimination. Smartfind™ graphically represents both the ferrous and conductivity properties on the same display. This combined with E-Trac's target Discrimination ability eliminates signals from undesired targets and accepts signals from desired targets. E-Trac's technology means: - Greater detecting depth- High sensitivity over a wide range of targets- Less interference from electromagnetic sources- More accurate identification of target characteristicsE-TRAC Xchange E-Trac Xchange allows you to download and upload detector settings and Discrimination Patterns via USB to your Personal Computer. This advanced feature is designed to allow you to quickly configure the E-Trac to particular detecting environments and preferred targets. You can always share your experiences and settings with other detectorists. The installation CD and Xchange User Guide supplied with your E-Trac ensure you can get started straight away. You can build a resource library charting your success with your E-Trac. Download and store your valuable Settings, User Modes and Patterns for your favorite sites and upload them as required. There's no limit to the number you can store on your PC so make the most of your E-Trac and never worry about losing your successful settings again!

Wow! Where do I start? Two search patterns (Quick Mask), larger viewable screen and a lighter overall feel are going to be real winners. The choice of tones selection modes is a welcome addition, and I like the extra control I now have to adjust the way the detector performs on bad ground (using the 'Trash Density' and 'Ground' controls). I dug a lot of very deep signals....and found a Roman silver siliquae and Charles I hammered half crown at exceptional depths. Coin mode: This is a very good starter program for first time users of the E-Trac. In fact....a good program for experienced users to use as well. On a pasture yesterday, I switched from my custom program to 'Coin mode' and immediately dug two Roman coins at over 10" depth! Relic mode: This is a good program! This is also the perfect base 'Pro' setting, the starting point for all really advanced programs. All I needed to do to customize the E-Trac to my style of detecting was to change 'Sounds' from 'Ferrous' to 'Conduct' and then add my own custom disc pattern. In this mode...on a British 5p coin it gave a positive signal response at 12". Functionality: Although I never used auto sensitivity on the SE, I'm impressed with the way this works on the ET, a great improvement! ....Iffy deep non-ferrous signals you wouldn't dig with the SE are identified as good positive signals with the E-Trac. The recovery rate is noticeably faster. I am really looking forward for the crops to come off so I can get this on my best fields. I like the louder clearer signals to small target... I tested a cut quarter next to iron rejecting just 'nails' and the response was identifiable! This evening I've been detecting on a site where the soil is more mineralised. In fact the performance of the E-TRAC was bloomin' fantastic!!! It banged out loud clear signals on finds ... and the signal quality was a lot better on the deep small native targets with the E-TRAC (sharper and clearer audio responses)... some of the trickier SE signals just wouldn't have been dug if the E-TRAC hadn't already given positive signal on them. This is a great machine and it's going to earn me a lot of money! Well-done! Gordon Heritage, UK   The pictures say it all!!Rudolf Kavtchik, Russia   If I had to say what impressed me most about the detector it would be this: the absolute positive and concise detection of a target at all times. The ground was quiet, the coins were everywhere, many at 4-5. The detection of these was brilliant - Spot On. Pinpointing is really most positive. The E-Trac was a delight to use.Neville Woollard, Victoria   “Performance in the field is what counts and the E-TRAC meets this challenge with flying colors. My testing at a number of sites deemed ‘hunted-out’ or ‘trash-filled’ by other detectorists produced a wide assortment of keepers including silver coins, Civil War relics and other artifacts from above-average depths and in many cases, surrounded by rusted ferrous items or other trash. Improved stability & target identification, finer adjustment control of individual settings and markedly better balance makes the E-TRAC a detector you can use all day with great results!“ Andy Sabisch, USA Field Tester   Included With this Minelab E-Trac, you will receive: Both battery packs (Alkaline and NiMH with charger) Koss Headphones Professional (red w/logo) full-length padded carry bag  Professional style (red w/logo) finds/tool pouch Explorer control box rain cover  Professional Minelab Digger with Sheath XChange software USB Cable E-Trac instructional manual  E-Trac field guide 10X Jeweler's Loupe Trial subscription to Lost Treasure magazine   2 year Extended Service Plan  We will ship the E-Trac to you double-boxed so you will receive it with a clean factory box without annoying stickers, labels, damage and dirt.
