I took the T2 to a cavalry encampment site that I had pretty much "hunted-out" over the years, so I didn't expect to find much, but I wanted to see that the T would do. There were powerlines over some of the site, and a live electric fence around the pasture where I hunted. Sure, I had some extra "chirping" and noise, but not so bad that it interfered with my hunt. I only found one bullet, a metal button, and some sort of lead "whatchamacallit", but I did dig some DEEP shotgun shell brasses that I have been over with other machines. And, I have hunted this site many times without even finding one bullet. I started hunting this site when it was "virgin", and found alot of good buttons(2 Va. buttons), US buckle, carbine sling swivel and buckle, Breast Plate, and a few silver coins, plus alot of other stuff. Now, pickin's are very slim there. I was impressed with the T, and I "bonded" with the machine with no complaints. Can't wait to get into a really good place with it.

Finally took the T2 out relic hunting

I found the T2 to be easy-to-learn. It always calls for patience to get a good feel for working a proper and efficient sweep speed and such, but the control settings are very direct (aka: simple) and the audio responses received are easy to interpret (aka: simple) which makes the T2 and other Teknetics models fun to use. I've never cared for any super-programming approach to having fun which is what detecting is all about.
Best of success as you continue to work that T2! Oh, I am always curious what settings and coils most folks use. I'll guess you're just using the stock 11" DD, but what Sensitivity and Discriminate settings? Which Audio Tone ID option do you prefer? What was the Ground Phase reading at your site? Thanks.

Thanks, Monte! I had the sensitivity set on 65, and that was borderline "chirpy". Disc was 20, and I like the 3-tones. I didn't pay any attention to the ground phase(didn't observe the number), as I was in a hurry to hunt, but it was redish soil(clay-type). With my health being the way it is, the machine was a pleasure to swing.Monte said:
