    Found a 1918 dag tax tag

    I was poking around my dad's house ( Next door to me ) with my 705 in the dark last night and I found a flat piece of metal shaped like a bell. I figured that it was a dog collar tag , and when I cleaned it up that's what it was. I just didn't think that it would be from 1918. It says from top...

    1st quick hunt with T-2

    I took the T-2 out yesterday for a quick hunt in my yard ( Old and Trashy ) before my gig yesterday. I've hit my yard hard with my previous detectors ( Tesoros -(Vaquero , Tejon , Cortes , and Golden Umax) , Garrets GTI 2500 , and minelab E-Trac. I found a 1942-P wartime nickel within the first...

    Do you need to lower sensitivity in Trashy areas?

    Sorry for all of the questions , but I just got my T-2 and I'd like the opinion of some experienced T-2 users on a couple of things. Can you run a high sensitivity in trashy areas or do you need to run the sensitivity lower to get better target seperation?? What sensitivity do some of you use in...

    How many tones do you hunt with??

    T-2 Assembly question

    My T-2 arrived today and when I put the rubber washers on the lower rod the stock coil went on very difficulty. It would barely move even without tightening the plastic nut. I didn't like how tight the coil was so I took off the coil and removed the rubber washers and it seems to still fit snug...

    Teknetics Question?

    Is teknetics it's own company , or is it a branch off of another detector company. Just curious because I've heard the T-2 compared to the Fisher F75 a lot. Or is it just that they are comparable with their detecting abilities? Probably a dumb question , but I was just wondering. Thanks. I've...

    How does the T-2 handle trashy sites??

    Hi there. I'm thinking of trading my Vaquero in for either a new minelab X-Terra 705 ( Second generation ) , or a like new ( Used once for 15 Minutes ) T-2. They will both cost me the same amount and I'm having a hard time deciding which one to go for. I mainly hunt old homes that are trash /...

    I've been using my E-Trac a couple of months now and have read Andys book a few times , but no matter what settings I use or adjustments I make I can't keep rusty nails from sounding like a good target. I don't mind digging some trash , but I've literally dug enough rusty nails to build a small...

    How does the Spectra V3 do in trashy areas??

    I bought my e-trac because it was supposed to do good in high trashy areas. granted I have pulled coins out of trashy sites that I couldn't find with my tesoro , but I have dug more rusty nails and bolts than I have ever dug before with the e-trac. Plus I get a good tone - hit the area again and...

    1 merc and 2 wheats

    I went out by my dad's house next door to me in the dark last night when I got home from work (2nd shift). I found a 1939 Mercury dime and two common date wheaties (1946-D and 1956-D). The Mercury gave a good tone , but the numbers were not on the mark ( I forgot what they read ). When I dug my...
