Looks like they are selling for less each day. New ones will be out in June or July.
 
That is the highest price I've seen yet and it wasn't even a LTD. After seeing that price I put mine up for auction and it got bid up to $1225 within the first two hours and it still has over 6 days left to run. I don't know which auctions you've been watching but they seem to be different ones than the ones I have been watching.
 
have people gone nuts or what? on a brand new on ebay last week i think i see that went over $3500 can you imagine
 
What country is the bidder or buyer from?
 
I heard they were being snapped up along with the Minelab GPX to go to Africa for there gold rush.
 
it was united states! but i just don't know for sure what state? if you have a acount go through completed listings and it should be there still

The auction terms were buyers had to have a USA address. That is the way I set up my auction too. The next one time wise up there now, has a no shipping, buyer must pick up in person requirement so I don't really count that one since the seller has restricted the pool of potential buyers so much but that auction is at $1250 anyway.

The next T2 after that (with USA shipping) is over $1500 and it still has more than a day to run.
 
It's amazing how these detecting machine companies can screw folks out of their money. They take an older model detector add maybe 80 dollars in parts and charge an extra $500-600 for it. They keep the same design ect. whites is a good example and so is fisher. The fisher lines the f70 and the f75 have the same body as the teknetics. And the whites body style goes back what 15 years. Don't get me wrong I love the whites detectors but I feel they have lost some honesty and integrity. Their commercial on tv say's ''YOU CAN SEE WHATS IN THE GROUND BEFORE YOU DIG IT'' If that were the case I wouldn't have a bucket of alluminum in my garage. lol

jeff i agree with the whites commercial. people who have never detected and are thinking about getting into the hobby see this commercial and say wow we can spend half our bank account and get this detector and go dig up nothing but gold rings and so forth. and after a week of detecting and a bucket of garbage they feel that the detector is not working correctly, but its just they didnt do their research and find out that detecting doesnt make you rich and we all will dig our share of garbage for that elusive gold ring and all the work is what makes finding a nice ring all the more worthwhile. just my 2 cents worth. thanks and happy hunting.
 
F70 and F75 have different controls and different circuit boards. The F75 LTD and the T2 LTD have different processors. Each one also has different programming code. The T2's selling for big bucks for the most part were shipped out of country. One bidder bought $30,000.00 worth. Minelab, Teknetics and Fisher. New T2 LTD's will be out in June or July for $999.

Dave Johnson, the senior engineer at First Texas who designed the hardware part of the T2 and F75 has posted in the past that the T2 and F75 were "based on the same platform". I took that to mean that they had the same hardware but different software. The controls themselves - the mechanical aspect of the detectors are exactly the same and they have identical physical layouts so it makes sense that they use identical hardware. Also since both are built in the same factory by First Texas it makes sense as I doubt the economics of production would make it feasible for them to design new hardware for such similar machines.

So where did you hear that T2 and F75s are so different, I was under the impression that they had the same hardware but different software?
 
Dave Johnson has a rundown on the progression of them. He said the processor in the T2 LTD and F75 LTD was changed. I posted the site on a post on this forum or another. Standard T2 and F75 are the same with different programming which is what I said. Also there will be more LTD versions of each. An email I received from First Texas said June or July and they wil be black. Price goes up because they are including a 5 inch coil. $1049.00. Off to Dalton to Civil War Relic show.
 
Dave have a good time at the relics show. Thats all I ever detected for. I live about 50 miles west of gettysburg and just 3 years ago I lived only 20 miles from there. But I never really detected in gettysburg because the big money boys have all the spots. one is a doctor and if you give him permission too hunt some land he gives you free visits. But I have been very succesful hunting lee's retreat route. from emmitsburg too williamsport. I had all kinds of detectors over the years and purchased an f70 last year but it was too radical with numbers bouncing everywhere. So now I purchased a Vaquero I guess when all this snow melts I'll give her a try.
