Your numbers line up with those I've seen.

I am still learning the T2 but it does a better job than most machines I've had (Fisher F5 for example) at distinguishing a nickle from the square tab
I have definitely dug more nickles with the T2 for the time spent than any other machine I've used.
My experience, if there's a bounce up to 59 then it hasn't been a nickle. There's also seems to be a slightly different sound for a nickle (slightly 'softer' sound, surface tabs have a notably 'urgent' tonal quality)
That 10k ring at 60-61 reminds me that I may be passing up good jewelry opportunities in the fear of digging tabs!

I have been keeping my 5'' coil on my 'original' T2 for the last few months as i am finding its deadly on really trashy roman sites,run mine about 80,2+ or 3tones,0disc,deadly combination and also has found me the most gold in recent years,main 2 coils i use these days are the 5'' and Sharpshooter,in my opinion the best coils for the T2,if i want pure depth then the SEF 15x12 comes out too play.

Had mine since about 2006/7 and still cannot see any advantage upgrading especially on my permissions here in the UK,i am well away from EMI and also dont have any problems with pull tabs either.One of my all time favourite machines,only machine that took the T2 crown is my Deus.
