The T2 is what it was desined for.

[Low-Boy/LCPM]

I have read all the pros and cons that have been written on most forums about every machine. Now comes the T2 a very powerful raw machine. I hated it at first all the chattering and the two tones going off and the numbers flying all over the screen.

It was like driving on a frwy in LA. But then I started to listen to the tones and looking for the numbers I wanted. The numbers fly because the machine is reading so many targets. I had to really slow down when I saw a number and heard a tone I wanted to dig.

And it has this big coil that I would never use with my other detector I own...I would always go to a tiny coil. I had to retrain myself!

So this detector may not be for everyone I didn't like the MXT but know a lot of users that love that machine and it works for them. I fell in love with the Compass Gold Scanner Pro instead!

Now the New Fisher is coming out and it would really blow me away if it is even close to the T2! I think it will be all on its own and will be a great detector. The main thing I am interested in is how it does at unmasking?

I have not found a detector that is great at unmasking in iron and works just as well in truf hunting in parks and schools. I have read that Calif Paul has taken the machine to the next step and taken it to some trashy parks and has cherry picked out a lot of coins with Disc on rather high. He was not looking for gold rings and such. And that is great but I have detectors that allow me to go to parks and schools that are trashed and pick out gold and silver.

So if the new fisher can do all of this with ease then it is the next best detector on the market. And I hope it does it all, it would be nice to see that Fisher got it right after all of the changes they have made. It would give me the new needed faith I would like to have in a company that I own about three of their best detectors that they made.

I still think the T2 is going to be a different machine not for everyone but for those that understand it, it may become a classic and it has a long way to go before that happens.

I read more guys in England are using them and are blowen away that they get tones and number ID and unmasking all in one machine and they are pulling out targetst they missed and finding clumps of iron that made their other machines miss the target.

So our hobby is going forward and machines are getting better. I am waiting to see how White's and a few other big players enter the market and might take the next step in going forward to make this hobby for those of us that love it even more fun!

Thanks

Hi Lawry! and thanks for the praises, but I feel they are a a bit exaggerated.

Tones and numbers are nothing new to either you guys State side, or UK detectorists.
White's detectors have had such for years. (As have others)
So if that's the fact, what do you anticipate the 'big players' have to offer that is new?

Please don't say more depth........Choose something original.

Yowweee....'and they are pulling out targets they missed and finding clumps of iron that made their other machines miss the target'.

Whoever told you that, were 'shooting the crap'.

Finding targets they've missed befor..??????
They must have retro-vision.

Holy cow-shit.....they then find lumps of iron and blame them.

Lawry....Lets just tell it straight. The T2 is a fine detector in its own right.

Lightweight.
Fast..........
Very functional....
Good value for money....
Idiot proof.................

It makes some more expensive units look and perform like dinosaurs.

What would I like to see in the 2nd generation F75..?

At least two frequencies functionality.

A usb port, for a giga-byte target-data-capture-card (with voice commentary facility)
Find a target...you push the button, record sweep data, then comments.

Maybe to even download and upgrade some of the system's functionalities.

Also....That longed for smaller search-head.

Oh well...I guess I'm guilty to...wishing and hoping...MattR,UK.

Frank Sorry that you are taking this the wrong way I was only writting about what I have read...but it is true some of the best relic detectors don't have meters and different tones all in one package. Now the MXT does and that is designed by the same guy that designed the T2. But the MXT is not as good at unmasking as the T2. So you are off base getting upset at anything on Thanksgiving, just chill and enjoy the turkey while I hunt with my T2 in iron and hear and see everything I need to make the great finds.

Well said MattR

Really super nice buckle Icpm, WTG. The T2 rocks and I don't even like the phrase. When you pick up a beer can at 20 inches you know you have a hell of a machine.

 

[MattR]

Congrats on finding that one....Can you tell us something abouts its history?

I heartily agree on the MXT not being as good as the T2 for sorting out 'big, deep, wet iron'.

But the MXT is still a fine unit, and on comparative tests in the field on targets found by the T2, the MXT has not been found wanting.

p.s. I'm sure that Dave J. kept a few ideas to himself during his previous design engagements....Now, he's had this opportunity to incorporate them into his own unit (Tek. T2)

So please Dave, add at least a dual search-frequency mode and let us see it grow into an 'ATD Hunter-Killer'.

Three generations of a story about a Calvary Camp in Amador County Calif (the gold country)The Calvary was there to run the Mexicans off the land that Mexico owned. In Calif the Gold Rush was about to begin and the United States wanted their land back.

But no one or any history mentioned anything about this camp. I new a man that had a story about this camp but never could prove it. So he asked me if I would help him on about five thousand acres of land.

You have to be kidding I told him but he had some ideas of where it could be and we spent most of the day with nothing. Then I saw a small road maybe the cows still used it and it looked like a way to bring in wagons and such. I started to follow it and sweep my coil and we hit a 1839 seated liberty and then some buttons and forks and spoons all very old and then a powder flask and one side of the buckel and then the other.

The snakes were out so I had to be careful and I almost didn't see the big four footer suning on some rocks a big ratler. It was getting dark but we had about forty pounds of finds and we had to head back.

We found a lot of old stuff from before the 1849s. The guy that took me up there was in tears casue this story was told from his grandad to his dad to him and now he had the proof. I kept nothing but the photos I took.

Thanks for sharing bud,

Excellent find and story to boot, Finds like these make the hobby more interesting!

Congrats!

Thanks a million for the story.....That puts the magic into the posted picture...........MattR.UK

Now that's what puts life in a forum. Great interaction, and really puts me out there by there side. Great for the understanding, knowledge and wisdom!

That's exactly what I went through and what I think now, except for the small coil thing, I like 8s and 10s. My other two detectors are a SovGT and a Tejon.

I am curious though... what detector would you recommend for cherry picking gold out of trash? and how would you set it up?

Thanks,

Julien
