    Staying with the T2+

    I'm with you Bill. I can find anything the new machines can with my T2 and Detech Ultimate coil.

    T2+ Struggling

    I use the Teknetics 15" Ultimate. Put it on 3 years ago and haven't taken it off. Hits minies at 14 inches with no problems. Have to GB in AM though. I get some EMI interference near power lines but AM hunts quiet near them. Hits hard on brass. I am a relic hunter only.

    Back to the Fair Oaks/ Seven Pines site today.

    HanoverDigger...thanks for the reply. I am in NC about 2 hours from Richmond. Have dug some around Dinwiddie but never Richmond area. That would be cool to hook up with you guys. Been to Hollywood Cemetery many times. Love wandering around there. Thanks, Mike

    5.00 Nautilus Detector

    Wayne bought out what was left of the Nautilus business. That old machine is probably one of the best. I have and still use on occasion a 2B. Wayne is in Four Oaks, NC about 20 minutes from me. He is the last hope for Nautilus users as far as repairs. He is a good guy. I have a 2B manual. They...

    Ultimate coil on T2?

    No sure if you are asking a bout the Detech coil but I have used it for the past 2 year. Never take it off of the T2. Works great in iron and will hit hard on brass. You have to ground balance in all metal. Mike

    5900 di pro sl/6000 di pro sl

    My first machine was the 5900 DI Pro SL. I was too naive to understand it. Wish I had it back. I believe the 6000 used AA batteries and I know the 5900 used C batteries.

    T2se

    T2 with the 13" Detech coil is all I use. Never fails me.

    Dug a good one...

    I haven't posted in a good while and just don't dig like I once did but had to show off this beauty. Dug on part of my family farm that greedy cousins have sold to developers. I like to think the relic gods were saying, "Ok,here is the last good thing you will dig here". Seems to be so. HT/B...

    A shout out to Fisher...

    I bought my F75 used about 4 years ago. For the past 2 years it would do weird things like go crazy and chirp for no apparent reason or the volume would competely go away. Next time I used it everything seemed to work fine but finally it got so bad I decided to send it in for evaluation. I...

    A cool coin and relics...

    I posted this on the Fisher forum just to let those guys know that the F75 is a great relic machine. I have been using mine for about 2 years now and even though I use a Nautilus 2B, Tejon, and now a T2 LTD, it is still my machine of choice for relic hunting certain sites. I have hunted this...

    A very cool coin and CW relics...

    Relic season is fast disappearing but I just had to try one more time before beans are all planted around here. I have hunted this field several times in the past and found 3 ringers and a breast plate so since it is the only unplanted spot around I gave it another try. Got a nice 70s reading on...

    Last two hunts....

    I found a couple picket sites that were near each other. Here are the results. The first pic has Spencer and Henry bullets with flat buttons, concertina and harmonica reeds, a nice mystery plate, toe plate, 1859 Indian Head. The second has 3 ringers, a weird solid base bullet that must be...

    Not sure what all the fuss is about....

    but I've have been using the Gold Bug for a few weeks now and I don't know which model it is because I traded for it. But it has the 11 inch and the small coil and I have been having a ball with it. I swing the F75, Nautilus 2B, and Tejon but this is the most fun I have had with a detector in a...

    Nice eagle button and a whatzit

    Dug this button today after 1" of rain yesterday. The F75 was smoking though the good stuff eluded me. Also found this handle that may have been a clock key. Here is a before and after aluminum jelly shot.This is the 3rd gilted button I have found at this site. All the other eagles I have ever...

    Today's hot digs...

    Wheat had been picked and beans planted yesterday but the owner and I are on good terms so I had to give it a go. Tough to swing in 8" stubble but the Nautilus is the best machine for swinging above crop stubble. I started at 5:45am and by 7:00am I was completely wet with sweat. This is a 15th...

    Dug a little today...

    I've been off this week and couldn't resist the urge to dig even though the heat and bugs have been tough. Managed to scrape up these few relics in about 4 hours. Rosette, probably a Victorian era brooch, variant high bases, 3 ringers and toe tap. I was drenched with sweat! Mike

    Bentonville finds...

    Had pretty good luck yesterday at Bentonville. Austrian bayonet scabbard throat, enfield and 3 ringers (the white ones are .54 cal.), silver plate, and camp lead. Also found a lock plate last week there. Before and after clean up pics. Date is wrong on the before pics. Can anyone id the plate...
