Question for people familiar with the Explorers and the T2

[Big Boys Hobbies]

Does the T2 beep 3 times on shallow targets like the Explorers do when the 3 parts of the coil passes over the target? Or do you only get target response with the center of the coil?

Thanks in advance.

Stoops,

I do not qualify as an experienced T2 user. I will be interested to see what others have to say.

My observation is that it depends on the size of the target to a certain extent. If quarter is more than about 2" from the coil, you get just a single response when using a very slow sweep. If the coil is moving at a normal sweep speed for the T2, then the distance will be even less (about 1").

Well it is a DD coil and you get one beep in each direction but the T2 is so fast even in iron if there are a few targets right next to each other you will hear a beep for each target. With iron in the mix you will hear the iron and the targets that is about the best I can explaine it to you. Ask Calif Paul and Bill Ladd they are the experts.

... but sometimes I'll get more than two.

They have to be very shallow though.

Just lift your coil to evaluate close/large target size effects....MattR.UK

First hint of snow this morning....early dawn.

Should make for some cool finds with the T2.........!

Hello stoops,

I use both the T-2 and Explorer, Always experienced the T-2 coil detecting from the center of the coil on shallow targets, Never from the 3 parts of the coil.
