    Anybody use the T2 exclusively in all metal mode?

    Thanks for writing that post. It's one of the resources that really turned me on to the powers of the T2. I used the T2 in all metal this spring while hunting down in Culpepper. It wasn't easy -- I had to re-ground balance regularly and listen really carefully -- but I did get a few bullets in...

    T2 upgrades: Are they still a thing?

    Yup, it was more than I was expecting. For that price, I could almost pick up a whole new T2+/LTD/etc with Boost.

    T2 upgrades: Are they still a thing?

    Sharing in case it's useful to anyone else: I emailed First Texas about this and they said that the upgrade costs $309.

    XP Deus Backpack

    Great to hear that you were able to fly with yours. I've always wondered whether the airlines would allow it on as a carry-on since it is a little on the long side.

    T2 upgrades: Are they still a thing?

    I remember people posting several years ago about sending their T2 Classics off to First Texas to be upgraded to include boost mode and other features on the later editions of the T2. Is that still something that you can do? Has anyone here done that recently? If so, what was the process like...

    VCO program/Red soil settings?

    I'm headed to red soil country (Central VA) this weekend to hunt and have been wondering how to best use by D2 in those conditions. I came across this VCO program: Has anyone used Paystreak's settings here? What are they, exactly? And did they work in highly mineralized ground? Or is there...

    XP Deus Backpack

    I've only ever used the 280 but it's worth the higher price. The material quality is much higher than you find on most detecting packs -- lots of canvas, thick fabrics, hefty zippers that don't get caught easily, etc. There's also a slot for everything, from a coil mounted on a lower shaft to...

    D2 noob program recommendations.

    I find the latest version (2.0) to be better than the earlier ones. The frequency max feature is nice, but you won't find it on .71.

    D2 noob program recommendations.

    Congrats on the D2. To answer your original question on which programs to consider, I highly, highly recommend playing around with the factory programs (even just picking one or two initially) to start. As you've likely figured out, the D2 can feel like a different machine depending on the...

    2 short hunts, yesterday and today

    Wow, that's a low reactivity! I gotta try that more. 12+ inches on a bullet is rad. I've used Gold Field with good depth but encouraging to know that other programs with more nuanced tone options are good at lower reactivity.

    Alternative grips for F75?

    I love it. And no worries about getting it wet when you need to clean it. Also, I really love the pistol grip idea, but you're right, it's not very stable. I recently picked up an F70, which has the control box mounted directly to the shaft. You lose the trigger pinpoint/GB but gain a solid...

    Alternative grips for F75?

    Thanks, I've come across a few who have used this. Might get some and try it out.

    Nice. How deep were they? And which program did you use?

    Alternative grip for T2?

    I have a T2 as well as a (pre-DST) F75. They're both great machines in many respects. One thing I don't like are the foam grips that both machines use. They get dirty really easily in the field and hard impossible to clean thoroughly. Does anyone use a cover/alternative grip on their...

    Maybe something new coming...

    An SMF F75 with trigger pinpoint/GB on a carbon fiber shaft would be the start of a good new machine. I just picked up an F70 and like that you can save a couple of "programs" worth of settings, so that could make a nice feature on a new machine.

    Maybe something new coming...

    I heard a similar rumor from a dealer last fall. I'm hoping for an updated, SMF T2 or F75. Garrett and First Texas are the last two US-based detector manufacturers. It'd be great if at least one of them could come out with something new and interesting.

    Question on getting the basic deus II without remote to start with

    FWIW, I have the complete setup with the remote, and I'll often stash the remote in my pocket/finds pouch and just listen to the audio anyway. Often, I find I actually dig more that way by taking chances on targets that sound good but are a little jumpy on the numbers. It is somewhat harder to...

    Can Garrett Detectors even COMPETE with the Latest & Greatest?????

    Wait, you mean the internet isn't real life? ;-) I agree, it was sad to watch Tesoro and White's close up shop. That's exactly why I hope whatever Garrett's next machine is really breaks new ground and turns some heads. It seems like the pieces are there, especially with some White's tech at...

    Can Garrett Detectors even COMPETE with the Latest & Greatest?????

    Hey John, I've been reading (and loving) your posts for years on here. But I have to ask: Who really is paying $1k+ for a GTI 2500 these days? Admittedly, I've never used a 2500, but I have used a GTI 1500. Compared to other machines out there today, it had a slow recovery speed and was weighed...
