Setting a new benchmark in metal detecting technology, Minelab has created the E-TRAC. Fashioned after the popular Minelab Explorer SE, the E-TRAC takes computer driven features to a new level.
E-TRAC’s advanced technology means:
- Greater detecting depth
- High sensitivity over a wide range of targets
- Less interference from electromagnetic sources
- More accurate identification of target characteristics
Experience the excitement of discovery E-TRAC sets a new benchmark! Utilizing the precision of Minelab's proven Full Band Spectrum (FBS) multi-frequency technology, E-TRAC is fast, sensitive, accurate and DEEP! 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 utlizing the fastest, most powerful microprocessor ever. New features include superior ergonomics and the introduction of a USB facility 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 new users and experienced detectorists alike.
The Future is Here...The Future is E-TRAC!

Minelab metal detectors have a well earned reputation for
rugged construction and excellent performance in
finding all types of treasure!
What's New:
The Minelab E-TRAC features a USB port to connect your metal detector to your personal computer. This allows you to save user modes, patterns, your favorite settings, and even the settings of other detectorists! (Perfect for those that share a machine or let someone borrow it). An improved LCD screen provides the highest resolution possible, while a new "QuickMask" feature has been added to the ever-popular "Iron Mask Discrimination" to allow for easier Iron rejection adjustment. The "Sensitivity" gauge has been improved and features suggested levels to give you more time hunting and less time programming.
What You See On the Detector:
The Main Menu provides access to all functions and settings of the E-TRAC detector. Press the "Menu" button at any time to access the main menu, browse and navigate through each of the icons. You'll see "User Modes," "Discrimination," "Sensitivity," "Audio," "Expert," and "Preferences" - Each of which is customizable for your specific needs.
Each mode is designed and pre-programmed with specific settings and patterns.
The "User Modes" includes the following:
- Coins
- High Trash
- Beach and Relics
The Expert Menu provides access to advanced settings and functions that will maximize your individual performance in unique hunting locations
The "Expert Menu" includes the following:
- Recovery Deep: On or Off
- Recovery Fast: On or Off
- Trash Density: Neutral or Difficult
- Noise Cancelation: Automatic or Manual, adjustable levels.
What You See on Your Personal Computer:
Minelab's unique "XChange" software will load once the detector is connected to your personal computer. An installation guide CD is supplied with the E-TRAC detector to get you started. You can build an entire resource library with just the click of your mouse! Download and store the settings and patterns that you saved, or upload them later. There is absolutely no limit to the number of stored settings you can save on your computer! (Perfect for re-visiting specific sites with unique ground conditions). Best of all - You can share your settings and experiences with other detectorists once they're saved on your computer!
System Requirements for E-TRAC Xchange
- Windows 2000, Windows XP or Windows Vista
- Minimum display resolution of 1024 x 768
- USB or USB 2.0 port
- USB Data Cable (included with your E-TRAC)
What You're Familiar With:
Minelab's precise and proven Full band Spectrum (FBS) multi-frequency technology is a key player in the E-TRAC detector, as is the NiMH battery and the perfectly balanced, waterproof 11" DD search coil. Four audio tone settings are available: "Normal," "Long," "Smooth," and "Pitch Hold." The Target Identification has a conductivity range of 1 - 50, and a ferrous content range of 1 - 35.
E-TRAC has brand New Technology combined with proven and established Minelab Technology and then some!
The E-TRAC reflects energy, forward thinking creativity in a radically advanced metal detector that can be very easy to use!
This is the type of metal detector which will excel at any task , and the very attractive thing about the E-TRAC is it can be as easy to use just by turning it on and allowing the Factory Preset settings to run the show.
Quite simply, E-TRAC is capable of delivering some high quality serious detecting and that's what it's all about, isn't it
