Hey Elton, I Need Some New Settings For My T2SE

[tabman]

I can't seem to find any silver coins with the detector that you talked me into getting. I ran it today with 2+ tones, discrimination set at 10, and the sensitivity at 75. The iron was sounding off like a machine gun. I'm swinging it the way you said, but as hard as I try I can't find a single silver coin. Here are just a few pictures of the stuff that I found today. I didn't want to bring all of the bigger stuff into the house.

Maybe I'll do better tomorrow.

I am pretty sure Jim has the Silver in his pouch..


Silver has to be there for one to find it.. But tell ya what I will trade you a silver dime for that Button on the left in pics. LOL Or Silver quarter for both....

Pm me for my E mail ...I'm not a fan of the two tones when hunting for Silver......... and I like 40 Disc too when Silver hunting... Seriously it looks like your doing great. How you liking that T2 Tabman ????

 

[tabman]

Elton, the T2SE I got is not chatty at all. The only noise it makes is when the coil passes over something that's not discriminated out.

Are those buttons worth keeping? They're easy to find. Just sweep the coil at a fairly brisk speed and listen for a zip sound to break through all the grunt sounds. Then look at the screen to see if the VDI number is high enough to be worth digging. I'm more into finding gold rings and coins than finding old buttons and stuff.

In the iron try Disc 21, in tone 1, with Sense as high as possible.

Then go over that same iron infested area again and see what you left behind.

Ignore the screen with these settings because the VDI will not be accurate. Dig every good signal.

I'll bet you only found a portion of what's there.

When the Silver is there..the T2 will find it.... Post those buttons over on The What's it forum... or maybe Civil war forum .........

 

[tabman]

I'm just kidding with you Elton. I expect to find some silver today with the T2SE. When I'm on the prowl for silver, I don't give a damn about nickels, since they fall in the tab range. It's really annoying that the T2 gives a high tone for a nickel. It slows me down, because I have to stop and look at the screen.

Your advice on sweep speed was really helpful. I probably wouldn't have found those buttons without it. Thanks Elton.

That sounds like great advice. Thanks! I'll give it a try.

With finds like those I'm surprised you're not digging every non ferrous target.

Whoever comes along and digs the tab and foil signals is going to make some really good finds.

Gerald, those are 2 great buttons. I am pretty sure those are period buttons. Did they come out of the same site as Bill's C S spur? HH jim tn

 

[mudpuppy]

Never thought I'd see the day when Tabby didn't give a &%$# about nickles! I believe Elton and Jim cooked up this T2 scheme to get you off the gold Gerald!

[jim tn]

it sure looks like you dug some period stuff there. Lead, neat buttons, harmonica reed, mini's, buckles and so on. There has to be some old coins in among all that iron and stuff as well. Small coil? T 2 is great on relics. HH jim tn

 

[tabman]

I loaded up again today. I'm too d&%$# wore out to take and post pictures of my finds. The T2SE finally figured out that I was wanting silver coins for my finds pouch.

I also got more Civil War buttons, a 3 ringer and lots of really old stuff.

so you're digging all signals including all the iron.

No I'm not digging the iron signals. Just high tones.

You know gold rings will ring up in the zinc range if they're big enough.

[chuck ky]

i meant the question for Badger since he said to use 21 disc. and 1 tone. sorry for the confusion.

 

[Badger in NH]

so you're digging all signals including all the iron.

You dig every good clear signal. Disc 21 will knock out most nails and small iron.

If you need to, just raise the Disc a little more to 24 or 26.

You may dig a few pieces of iron, but not much.

Set sensitivity as high as you can take it. Max if possible.

Don't look at the screen. The VDI will not be accurate.

Give it a try.

 

[tabman]

I'm going to jump all over that advice the next time I take my T2SE out. I suppose it will work equally well on my G2.

The thing about the G2 is that the Disc and multi tone function are connected. It doesn't have a mono mode so it wouldn't be the same. It's a totally different machine.

The G2 is already awesome in the iron anyway. The T2 mono settings should make it perform just as well.

I've only used these settings a few times but they are showing great potential. They are mostly for heavy iron sites that have been hunted out with normal settings and you want to get all you can out of the machine and find more targets.

I discovered these settings through reading Tom Dankowski's research.

 

[Elton]

That T2Se ............. is a terrible detector..... Send it to me immediately. I feel terrible suggesting you get it.
I would feel oh so much better .........

[size=large]Seriously. Looks like it's being a good fit for you and I do honestly believe it will only get better, and better as you use it..[/size]
