T-2 Versus Nails?

[ALOW1]

How well is this machine against nails?

Nails are the worst thing I have encountered with my CZ-7. Seems like I have tried everything yet evertime I got out I dig lots of nails.

I am in the market for a new machine, been eyeballing the DFX, Explorer 2, and the Coinstrike....... decisions, decisions, I am retiring my CZ-7 as it is going to go to my father and I am going to try a new machine.

I will have this next machine for a few years more than likely so the decision seems hard at least for me.


So back to the question, how does this t2 handle nails?

I've had no trouble whatsoever with nails so far with the T-2, even the deeper very rusty variety. I.D. on nails does not seem to be an issue, though the occasional double-bent or "fence staple" types will still give a high coin bounce if their orientation to the coil is just right. In this regard, the T-2 is really no different than many other detectors on the market in having problems with certain types of ferrous staple nails, round washers, very rusty bottlecaps, iron tack rings, and the like. There are just certain kinds of ferrous targets that are going to give a "non-positive" I.D. on any machine, and those have to be dug right along with the "good" signals to be presented to the best discriminator every made...... your eyes.

Sounds great Ralph, I have the worst luck when it comes to finding nails. A nail here and there isnt so bad but I hate being a "Nail Farmer" as I call it.
