LAST EVENINGS POST SEEMS TO HAVE CAUSED SOME CONFUSSION PROBABLY MY WORDING LET ME SHOW YOU MY RELIC SETTINGS AND COMMENT BRIEFLY ON MY THOUGHTS.:wigg

I run sensitivity in all metal low enough to get a stable threshold usually around here thats about 40 for for super stability which is important .[Dont worry about loosing depth at this setting its still outrageously deep!!!.]

I set my discrimination at 10 to get rid of any mineral type sounds just want to here the iron thats it nails and above.

My discrimination SENSITIVITY can be anywhere from 75-95 just depends on the area.

I prefer the 2+ out of all of them so far . Reason being the iron is always constant low pitched regardless of signal strength which makes the detector a real pleasure to use even in the most dense iron.the non ferrous hits in this mode are continous so you can really hear the good target in amongst all the low [non-annoying] iron hits. no other detector dose this that im aware of. Most all would be blaring iron signals at you in dense iron to the point that it would become annoying after awhile.

I will say this the T2 is the best iron trash machine ive ever seen.

If you look at the presets on the machine you'll notice that the discrimination setting is always 10.this shows that they knew there target I.D. and seperation were number one on their list attributes.Most discrimination presets on detectors are pretty high foil range or better.Not the T2.They knew they had the best of the best when they assembled this detector.

I tuly feel this is more of a all out relic machine than a coin hunter.[Not that it wont find coins. It will probably find them with the best of them]Reason being the higher frequency seems just super hot on brass.Me and a buddy of mine whos also becoming quite attached to the T2 were talking last night about how this is just one super brass machine.
I remeber pulling a toe tap last week out of one of the sites we had hit pretty hard it was in a open area no obstructions lots of square nails yet it heard it and pulled it at around 8 inches in dense clay[toe taps are really low conductors especially the worn thin ones].Also yesterday I pulled a lantern piece in a small camp well over a foot. Piece was about the size of silver dollar on a 45 degree angle.I had mauled this place because of find some quite nice buttons and bullets and things so if i hadnt seen it and dug it myself I would have thought no way. Detector is just super hot on brass to say the least.

Hope I havent rambled to long just trying clarify .

Regarding this is more of a relic machine than a coin machine. Let me ask you (and others) this: What could they have done better, other than maybe a lower frequency, to make this a better coin machine? Honest question, not defending here. (Hell, I'm excited to see if that new Fisher has a lower "coin" frequency.)

I'm trying to figure that out. Cause even though I see this machine as have so much functionality for relic hunters, those same features can benefit coin hunters (multiple modes, soil information, AM mode, etc.). See what I'm saying?

Understand, I'm in Germany and allot of the coins are smaller. Not many quarter sized coins worth digging. Mostly dime sized with a few nickels sized coins thrown in. The coin composition here, so far anyway, seems to be copper, bronze, zinc, some iron ones and small silver (yet to find me ;) .
