New Product Report –
Minelab E-TRAC

                 by Des Dunne

Since the Explorer FBS System (Full Band 
Spectrum Multi-Frequency) gave us the first 
glimpse of new and very innovative design 
principles, Minelab has consistently delivered 
world-class engineering and technology for 
the hobbyist and metal sensing specialist. 

Following in the 

“detecting tracks”

 of the iconic Explorer Series was always going to be difficult but it looks 

as if Minelab has indeed done it again with their newest innovation! 

E-Trac promises to be the high-octane detector model that detector users everywhere have been waiting 
for and it’s set to quicken the pulse rate of metal detectives!  

The new-from-the-ground-up E-Trac is bristling with technology and has some very smart new tricks up 
its sleeve!  This detector is a new model, the premiere flagship of the Minelab fleet and does not replace 
anything else – instead it adds to the model line-up and creates a new benchmark in software functional-
ity, performance and class-leading capability.

E-Trac is a significant technological advancement - probably the single most important and innovative 
metal detector model ever introduced and one which has been very definitely designed to cater for the 
advanced detector user and newcomers to the hobby alike.
