Out detecting old land

[Low-Boy/LCPM]

Went out to a lot, didn't even know it had a house dating back to the 1860s. The T2 was hitting on tons of targets that all repeated so we are talking square head nails and trash. But on the T2 from what you all say if the tone repeats dig it. So ground bal at about 71, disc on 21, one plus tone, sens at about 65. We dug a lot of iron trash, I still think the T2 and a small coil in Calif for relic hunting in high trash and iron would allow me to find more even more good targets and hit less on the trash, but for now I will just keep digging.

Where there is an IH there is a good possibility of other old coins. HH

Cool finds Lawrenzo,

I think the long metal tube cylinder object is an old tire valve stem, Those are neat to find.

Looks like a good place to go back and hunt,
Congrats,

How you been?? Been reading all your post on the T-2 and now the F-75 as I have one of the F-75 and feels a lot like the T-2, but more options and like the T-2 a very impressive detector. I think on the T-2 I run too high of disc and the wrong tones options, but with the F-75 been running 0 disc or even all metal at times in some areas i have tested it and see where this works excellent and wish I would have tried the T-2 this way .
Now on that metal tube it looks like a tube of lipstick not a old valve cap off the Model T or A. He will just have to look to make sure as the valve caps were hollow inside with some treads on the fat end so it could be screwed on the stem of the tire valve.

Hi Rick,

Hope all is well with you and your family and I'm doing well Thank you, Been sitting on the side lines here for a few weeks not really partaking on the forum as I should. Seen allot of impressive finds lately and boy have they been well earned by the T-2 users, These guys and gals are an amazing bunch!

You're right, The small cylinder Lawrenzo found looks more like an old lipstick cap the more I look at it......If that lipstick tube could tell a story of the lips it glossed I'd give my backup detector to hear what it had to say

Yes, You're right the T-2 and F-75 do feel allot alike. I have one too and still logging in some detecting on the new model. Just received my F-75 and already racking up some hunting on the detector at different type of areas, I'll try and compare both the T-2 and F-75 with the settings you mentioned using zero disc and all-metal mode between the two machines.

I have an area that I would like to use the all-metal mode, One of my buddies and myself pulled a seated apiece out of here this past weekend and leading away from this area the iron trash clears up a bit. So this will be a perfect opportunity to use all-metal and go by the numbers, Only thing is this old settlement is a two hour drive so I won't be going there until this weekend.

Thanks Rick for the chat and I'll let you now how zero disc and all-metal works between the two.

HH, Paul
