T2 classic arrived today !!!!

[toddsant]

All I can say is wow. I put her together and went for a really short hunt. Disc mode , disc 5 , tones 2+ , sen 99.
They really did a number on this machine, power lines everywhere but none of the crazy chattering like my f70 would do in this same field. Lay her down to retrieve the target and the chattering started up till I started swinging again- I can live with that.
Maybe Dave j can answer a question about the audio, it seems a little low, not bad mind you but without headphones by a road I had a hard time hearing the external speaker. With headphones It still seemed like the volume has been reduced, but I did notice that deeper targets literally sounded deeper, shallow targets made the volume "normal" if that makes sense.so it was a nice surprise to hear a deeper target by audio cue- just a lower softer response.
This property is 525 acres, several pre civil war homesteads = a butt load of iron still managed to dig 3 out of 5 targets( two targets were in the" I may need a pickaxe and large shovel range.") I dug a ww2 30-06 cartridge at 5 inches, a two piece button missing the front, and a 1963 nickel shallow at 3 inches but laying amongst nails.
Nice and light to swing, it really locked on to the targets vdi numbers only got crazy on the cartridge but I am guessing it's length and rounded exterior had something to do with that. The button hit like a copper penny with numbers never jumping more than a digit or two as I swung at it from different angles.
Really can't wait to put some hours on this wicked little green machine.

Yes i heard that before that the audio was really not that loud on them .. Well good luck and let us know how it seems after a few days with it.. The audio would be bad for some one hard of hearing..

Thats good news that your T2 has arrived and you are happy using it,had mine a long time but i rarely go over 75 maybe upto 80 on the sens as i feel the T2 then become very erratic and not a pleasure to use,when i am running a 'Big' coil on say pasture or when trying to locate a pot hoard then i can drop the sens down to below 65 and even 60 of late.Of course its upto the user to run what ever settings,but i find that alot of folks tend to crank the sensitivity right upto maximum then find that the T2 then becomes very unstable and erratic and can by doing so miss some targets.

Mine is just the standard T2 and i still cannot see the need to upgrade to any of the latest versions,it does exactly what i want from a detector on my sites and must admit i never seem to have EMI issues,maybe because i dont hunt in built up areas,just farm land and wide open sites.

Good luck and happy hunting with your new machine.
