New Video featuring T2..."Lost Colonial Quarry":detecting::teknetics:

Here's a 10 min. video I threw together quick as a preview of what my "season 2" DVD will be like..........
Alot of early coins & buttons showed up on this memorable day of detecting. I used mainly the T2 running "super hot" with 0 or 1 disc & 90's sensitivity to help me get to a few more deep goodies on a "hunted out" granite rock quarry site that goes back to the late 1600's.
(same settings can be used on the F75). A very chattery way to detect as you will see, but the only way to get a solid, "diggable" reading on 200 year old items that are deep......
Enjoy,
Bill

Bill, GREAT video! I just recently got a T2 and learning as I go. I have a site that dates back to early 1700's and will try your settings if I don't pull my hair out from all the chatter LOL!!
 
& or if the site is not near anything, pop the headphones out even so your ears are not getting bombarded..........
This is a site we actually wrote off 5 years ago, & now we are returning to find some really deep stuff everyone missed in the past....
Thanks for watching,
Bill

I swear I see a C$ in the intro :poke:

Nice hunting Bill, some nice finds you'd never make on the left coast.

Nothing wrong with the C$, but it's more of a coinhunter and this site was more of a deep, deep relic hunt which the T2 shines in (as you saw)......

Great video Bill! Thanks so much for sharing it!! Where is the information on how to get your first dvd...and what kind of hunting do you do in the first one? Thanks again!

Hi Bill,
You can remove the chatter easily! Try the following settings, Tone 1 discrimination 5 Sensitivity 85 Then press the trigger forward and push the round button to change the frequency till the chatter goes away, works for mine of F7.
Hope it helps.
 
You need to get under 5 or maybe even under 4 to kick both the T2 & F75 into a more powerful boost of sensitivity.........I was on 1 disc.
Yes, it increases chatter but on a beat 1600's site, in order to find things I ran it "hot" on purpose. If I was on an everyday coinshoot, I would have run it silent.....
There is a method to my madness ;) :tongue: Others go there & run their units nice & quiet with everyday settings and wonder why they come up empty. A deep button or coin just sounds like an iron blip. Running that way got me better, and diggable ID's others walked right over....
HH,
Bill
 
I have read from what I consider an authoritative source (Nasa Tom) that the numbers that the boost mode kicks in at are different on the F75 and T2 due to the expanded iron range on the T2. What I read was that it was under 5 on the F75 but under 21 on the T2 and that these two numbers kind of corresponded to each other as far as what they discriminated out and that is why the boost mode kicks in at those different numbers.

This makes sense to me because the VDI scales are so different in the iron range between the two. A VDI of 4 on the T2 is a lot lower in the conductivity scale than a 4 on the F75.
 
For iron infested sites (nails, ect) Nasa Tom's settings are disc. 6 and 1 tone and for the T 2 disc. 21 and 1 tone and for both, sen. max. The F 75 kicks into the hotter modes from 5-0 disc. and at 19. The T 2 kicks in at 50 and I believe at 5 and less. HH jim tn
 
But Bill is saying you have to run it hot like below 6 and it will chatter like crazy but hit on targets that are missed by being on disc 6..Now Tom has some real different ground...
 
Bill,
Thanks for the quick response. Never underestimate the T2! I do very old sites here in the UK have a look on my site http://www.pastfinders.co.uk I found many winners so far. That Edward the VI hammered coin got me
 
To answer Low-Boy's question, F7 is a frequency setting on the T-2. F1 thur F7.

If F1 is the lowest frequency and F7 the highest, (not that there is a huge difference) wouldn't the lowest frequency be more apt to find copper and silver targets and the highest frequency be better for gold?

I thought that the different frequencies were to prevent cross-talk between two detectors or other electronics in the area? My owners manual doesn't say anything about F7 being a hotter setting.
 
I know Low-Boy, I use those settings on both my T 2 and F 75 a lot. Freq. 7??? I have seen posts that F 7 is hotter from time to time, but I have never been able to determine that it is. IS IT ACTUALLY?????? HH jim tn
