I went back to a place that I've hunted "to death", and found an indian head penny(rough shape), and a neat 1924 Virginia Fox Hound tag. I have yet to get "skunked" with the T2 at this place, even though I got skunked there with many other machines. LOTS of trash to deal with though. The T2 makes alot of noise with 3 tones, even with a disc. setting of 40. But it's doing it's job well.
