New T2 User, Need Some Advice

[Jeff In North Georgia]

Just got my new T2 last week. Took it out this past weekend for a home site yard hunt. Did manage to find a few wheat pennies, a silver Roosie, and some modern coins.

Was having some trouble with the pin pointing. Could center on the targets OK (I have an Explorer and am used to DD coils) but the depth readings were all about 2" deeper than the target actually was. Is this typical or is there a problem with my ground balancing (~60 -70), sensitivity settings (60), or amount of discrimination (45) causing the depth readings to be off?

Thanks!
Jeff

Mine pinpoints right on the money, (right on the money.. laff).

Where are you? I am in N Ga too. I have used mine for a little over a year but I am sending it in for service next week. It seem's to have a short in the cable, where it plug's into the control box.

It is an awesome machine but require's much use to learn it well. Still, I have had no problem what ever with the pinpointing. Maybe we can hunt one day if you want.

Does sound like a ground balance issue. When I ground balance I actually set my machine right on the ground and touch it when doing the bobbing thing. I think that gives a more accurate picture and may be worth a try.
