    T2 finds CW NYS Artillery button and a few other relics :cam:

    Despite today being December 17th, only a week away from Christmas, the weather was in the low 40s with no wind so I took the opportunity to get out for some detecting. I am glad I did. I did not find a lot, but I did find three Civil War bullets, a brass grommet and an unusual lead seal with...

    Somethings old and one thing new this weekend with the T2---:smile:

    I took advantage of the mild seasonable weather here in Northern Virginia this weekend to get out to a favorite spot and had a good day. In addition to about a dozen Civil War bullets recovered I also found a nice old 1847 large cent, a Confederate block "I" button and a recent silver ring that...

    Anybody think the AT Pro isn't a relic hunter? Think again! :usaa:

    I was out at a site I have been visiting with several good friends for a couple of months now. It is located on the edge of where a series of Civil War skirmishes occurred and we have been finding a good mix of relics and coins. This past Saturday, the 5th of November, I had a very happy day...

    AT Pro back from Garrett and rocking my world - :garrett:

    A lot of talk on the forum now is about the new "gold" so I thought a short note about my success with the AT Pro this past weekend would be in order. We had an early snowstorm here in the East and where I am hunting here in Northern Virginia got between 2-6 inches. It all came down on...

    Restored AT Pro working like a charm -- :garrett:

    Greetings fellow Garrett fans. My AT Pro died on me about 4 weeks ago at the beach in the Outer Banks. When I came home I shipped it back to Garrett with a description of the symptoms and got a very nice reply informing me that both the control unit and the coil were being replaced with brand...

    T2 finds terrific relics--T2, still one of the best detectors out there -- :teknetics:

    Recently I got permission to hunt an estate of about 100 acres with a main house built in the early 1800s. I've been going to this site every weekend for the past month despite the continuing heat and humidity and some of the finds have been terrific, including three large pennies dating from...

    Adapters are out! :garrett:

    For those AT Pro owners who are looking for the adapter to use headphones other than Garrett's, the adapters are now available. I was on the waiting list and received mine last week. It was easy to install and comes with instructions for several installation options. I like the Rattler...

    Question about depth readings -- :confused:

    Friends, I have a question about depth readings with the AT Pro that I hope one or some of you can help me with. I have noticed that frequently I will swing over a clear target signal, I sweep back and forth to verify the signal and the numbers on my screen and I notice the depth the detector...

    Restored AT Pro finds large silver -- :garrett:

    I sent my At Pro back to Garrett to get it adjusted for the falsing I was experiencing and it returned earlier this week. The turn around was a week and a half, excellent service by Garrett. I had permission to hunt a private field this weekend and was out from about 7AM to 3PM today. The...

    First time out with the AT Pro ended the year with silver :thumbup:

    I bought my new AT Pro in early December and almost immediately the temperatures in Northern Virginia dropped and it got just too cold to get out detecting. And then on New Year

    Looking for materials to help develop university metal detecting course

    Fellow detectorists, I hope some of you can provide me with some assistance. I have been given an opportunity to set up and then teach a university course on metal detecting/treasure hunting. I have been metal detecting for about 20 years and feel comfortable that I have the experience and...

    Looking for advice on finding an old homesite dump :help:

    I am putting this out to all the experienced detectorists on the forum who also explore the history of sites they hunt. I have been working a very small but old site located in a wooded area. There is no evidence of any building foundation but I and a few friends I get out with have found over...

    Outing today with my T2 and some nice finds - :cam:

    The weather today in Northern Virginia was especially nice, temps in the low 60s and clear skies, following two days of no rain. I decided to get out and check a spot I have had my eye on and try a T2 setting Silverman777 suggested in a post I read only yesterday. He suggested 70, 4, and 2+...

    Saturday outing with T2 and new small coil - :detecting:

    I recently purchased a small coil for my T2 from Richard at Backwoodsdetectors. I commend both the coil and Richard, who was very informative and pleasant in his email exchanges with me as I was making my decision to get the coil. Once purchased the coil arrived very quickly. Thank you...

    T2 finds a NY militia cuff button and .36 cal ball - :usaflag:

    I just got home from a good day out with my T2. The finds were few, but among them I found a very nice .36 cal pistol ball from the Civil War and my first NY militia officer cuff button. I have found NY militia coat buttons before, but this is my first cuff, and it is in excellent shape, no...

    GTI-2500 finds some nice Civil War relics

    I have not posted in a while, but wanted to share my good fortune in a hunt two Saturdays ago, the 18th of October. Much of my detecting is relic detecting. I detect in Northern Virginia and recently gained permission to hunt several private properties that are each about 3 acres, mostly...

    Relic find with T2, Union Artillery cuff button - :beers:

    I have not been seeing many posts here recently, I hope it means folks are on vacation or too busy out in the field with their T2s to take time to post. So I am leaving this one. I was out last weekend at a site a couple of friends and I have been working for over two years. It was an...

    Masking and other "ground truths":clap:

    I found this article on another forum and thought it would be of interest to my fellow T2 users and F75 fans as well. I know I have found iron trash, scanned the hole again and found something else that was good in the past, the article at the link offers some very good insights. Enjoy...

    GTI-2500 users - settings for deep silver help requested :help:

    If you have any suggestions for GTI-2500 settings to find silver deep, please share them. I have been hunting a Civil War site for over two years with a couple of close friends. We have found all kinds of relics and even some coins, but not many. Between us we have found a dozen or so...

    In the rain, T2 took a lickin and kept on tickin :clap:

    The weather report for this past Saturday was for cloudy skies and rain in the afternoon. I went out early in the morning with my regular hunting buddies. We decided to try an area we've been wanting to seach for a while now. To get there we had to hike about a mile through woodland. We got...
