I Don't Why Folks Would Say The Etrac Isn't A Good Gold Jewelry Detector.... Just Turn On The Trash Density Feature To High And Go Vacuuming

I am so impressed with the Trash Density feature on my Etrac.

Coping from the manual, emphasis mine:

In Low setting, E-Trac locks onto the strongest signal target during detection and the detector displays the most stable Target ID.

In High setting, E-Trac searches for the best accepted target signal during detection and then displays the most stable Target ID.

I love this feature on my Etrac. Instead of blanking out all the time I'm only hearing whats inside my accepted pattern. I attribute my latest gold chain find wholly to this feature as the nulls were masking it on my first circuit. Went back through with Trash Density High and no nulls and the little 11-01 low tone peeped. Couldn't even pinpoint it without removing all the surrounding trash, which included a wire coat hanger. I was very impressed.

That little 11-01 peep turned out to be 26" of .585 gold chain.

I got to go back with the 8" coil and see what I missed.

Congrats Mike, you always get me fired up when it comes to jewelry hunting.  I will add, I had an Etrac several years ago, loved it and found a lot of neat stuff but when my neck problems appeared I had to give it up.  But still miss it often.

Fantastic.
