So I went to a site that is part of the Gold Rush days. I have hunted there alone a few times and have come home with some nice relics. But no coins or small relics.
So I ran my sens at about 40 and fast grabbed and used 2 plus tones and disc at 10. I got a lot of overloads big iron and they turned out to be some nice relics.
But as you know the T2 sees everything and gives you tones to let you know what is going on. But my friend used a 5 inch coil and would lock in on his targets and bam out popped coins with solid repeatable beeps.
And I would go over the same target before he dug it and I would see the the coin at about 70 but would see everything else from tiny nails to iron, he would be able to lock in on the coin!
This place is filled with a lot of relics but also tons of iron and nails and rust and just about everything else. So when I used his detector I could pick out a lot of targets and really separate them.
We did go over some of the readings I got and he got blanked out by the iron so he would have missed a lot of big iron targets also.
My one thought is the T2 and a smaller coil, you could separate the targets in a trashy area. Not pick it all up but hone in on the targets better. I know I have read from a lot of you that the only thing a small coil would help with is getting between tight areas.
I have had the T2 for about six months and only use it for relic hunting. But the smaller coil idea really got me thinking.
I don't know if a lot of you fellow relic hunters from the United States and the UK hit fields and empty lots where all you do is get targets and iron just about every sweep you take with your coil or targets are more separated?
Anyway any ideas?
