<p>[QUOTE="YOC, post: 2436119, member: 58941"]My friend tested a bliss tool against all models and he found it to be far worse than the etrac. Far far worse. The reason was that with all the manual adjustments it is a bit like closing the stable door after the horse has bolted when trying to tune it in to beat another detector after you know the target type and size. when you walk along a field with a detector you want the detectors computer to take in all the information and decide what to ignore and what not to , then to give you an audible signal. You cannot walk over a target the etrac has found without getting a clear audible response from the blistool and then say, hang on I know there's something down there because the etrac found it, make adjustments and then say you had a clearer response than the etrac. I use two detectors and my son and I will often check each others signals when they are deep and faint, we get the best of both worlds then. Ground type and trash density change all the time and many hundreds of times in a days detecting. The etrac will adjust quickly to this and be consistently reliable at finding good targets. As with most detectors discrimination is a big issue, I don't use any, but the responses I get from signals based on their conductivity and ferrous properties are different as I set it up to tell me when I go over rubbish rather than nor telling me. I can make my own mind up then.... I don't trust the computer to make human like decisions. But as for the blistool being the best, sorry, but I don't agree.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
