I was looking over my finds since I started using my E-Trac 8 weeks ago. In that time I have found 10 silvers, and dozens of wheats, and quite a bit of clad. Although this isn't any huge amount, it is more silver than I have found over 8 weeks for most of my detecting. This got me thinking, how much of this was becuase of the detector? I know the saying is it's the hunter, not the machine but I have to think part of this HAS to be the machine.
I had a couple of years off, so I don't know if I am detecting more often than I was before. As we all know the E-Trac is an expensive detector, so maybe the cost is causing me to try to get more use out of it.
I am hunting new spots I never searched in the old days, but I have noticed that quite a few of my finds were underneath or co-mingled with iron and might not have been found with my old machine. Some were in the open, but few of them. I think this is the result of most public places being previously hunted sites.
So what are you other E-Trac users thinking? How much of it is the hunter, and how much is the machine?
