Just read on another forum that dealers were saying that the Etrac will be discontinued this year? Anyone else heard that?
No, but that’s not really surprising. Hopefully it means they’re preparing to release a new FBS detector..

I was told by a dealer 3 weeks ago with an in at Minelab that an Etrac replacement will be release this year. It was supposed to be out already but covidd has things backed up. He said the CTX replacement is 1-2 years out. When its released it will blow your mind. Its supposed to have target imaging. This could all be !!!!, I have no idea. That's what he told me.

I have been saying for over a year the Etrac and CTX were due to be phased out. Big online sellers stock has been sold out or very limited on the Etrac and CTX for awhile. 'There have been polls/suggestions about what people find useful and would like to see on the new Minelab flagship detectors. As in these polls were being reported back to Minelab. One of the forums hinted at units were already field tested.
I notice that some dealers are no longer listing the Etrac. I also notice that some dealers are now listing the Safari at $799 which is 200 below MMAP. So we may see more than the Etrac biting the dust.
They said the same of the EtracThe Equinox made other detectors obsolete. Minelab got laughed at for that. Turned out to be true .

Maybe someday the Fisher MRI2051 will outperform the Garrett CatScan2049, but neither one will be able to tell a ring from a pulltab missing it's beavertail. LOL keep digging it all!

Maybe so, but the Minelab EQ80052 will obsolete both of them.
