Advanced digital filtering has been enhanced with the development of new timings ensuring optimum sensitivity and accurate discrimination. A refined discrimination scale supports real-time analysis on target identification utilizing the fastest, most powerful microprocessor ever. New features of the E-Trac include superior ergonomics and the introduction of a USB interface with XChange software, allowing you to download, save and email your favorite settings.

A logical intuitive menu supports easy access across all functions making  E-Trac a superb choice for both new users and experienced detectorists alike.

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).

The Minelab E-Track metal detector will locate valuable metal objects in a variety of mineralised 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 jewellery on a regular basis.

Etrac 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 analysed 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 analyse 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 characteristics

E-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 favourite 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!

"First impression... 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."

Minelab E-Trac - Moe (Metaldetector.com Product Specialist) (Anonymous)
I took the new Minelab E-Trac out last weekend to see what it could do. First I did an air test just so I could get a feel for the E-Trac detector. My first big surprise was it picked up gold chains. My first treasure hunt was at a saltwater beach in the wet sand. The metal detector was very stable, not that many targets but what I did dig averaged 8 to 12 inches. The pinpoint mode worked great. My best find was a 30 inch silver rope chain. Other finds included 11 clad coins, a silver charm with a small diamond and 2 plated earrings.

The second hunt location was an old farmhouse. I hunted in the E-Trac’s coin hunting mode. The site was quite trashy so I went to the Minelab factory pre-set trash mode and was impressed. In an hour and a half I dug 5 coins. My best was a 1923 wheat back penny at 8 inches with a square nail on top of the coin. The Minelab E-Tracks’ iron mask feature saw right through the nail and rewarded me with the coin. The other coins ranged from 4 to 10 inches. Can’t wait to use the E-Trac more as I feel like I am just scratching the surface of what this detector is capable of doing.
