Wandered Into Some Heavy Trash With the T2

[RLOH]

I had a couple of hours to kill today so I went to a local spot where finds are hard to come by lately. I hunted a large field where a grandstand stood from 1900 to 1960. I have found many 100 year old coins here throughout the years, but today I struck out. I wandered over to a picnic area that is as extremely trashy. I was just about out of time and I figured that the T2 would not do very good here. I swung right into the worst of the trash and had tones and numbers jumping out every four or five inches. I saw an eighty number flash on the screen and I backed up. There was so much trash that I could only get the 80 signal from a couple of angles. I got the signal isolated, but I couldn't pinpoint because of the trash so I used my Minelab sweep and back the coil up method and it worked. From 7 inches, dead in the middle of a 4 inch plug I got a 1909 penny. The big coil takes some work in trash, bukt it can be done because of the T2 super fast response. A 4x7 DD coil would be a killer on the T2. Also, I have about 10 hours on the T2 and the battery level just dropped one segment. At this rate, I might only need two sets of batteries a year! R.L.

I agree that the T-2 when I had mine too was good in some of these trashy area as I picked out a Walking lib half at a area many had been over. Just got that little different signal in with the trash and wound up digging the half at around 12 inches deep. On the battery gauge it seem to only drop one notch after several hours, but after it get lower it seem to drop faster, but still it is very good on batteries.
