Nice video....Thanks...really opens up your eyes..I remember someone telling me years ago that most detector companies have peanuts into building a detector..I can believe it...I think if you believe your T2 is made in the U.S.A....better wake up...I remember getting my first F75 and unboxing it thinking man this box looks like china cardboard..You know what i mean?? I know what I believe...I l

JJ.......Just what kind of machines do you use? Maybe you just havent tried the right one? You should look into a v3i..Made by whites..It has every bell and whistle you could think of..My friend bought one and it has put a new paint job on things for him...Good luck with your miracle machine..I'm still looking also..

I once had a garrett 1250 years ago that had I beileive 22 segments...This would work..But I dont care for the weight of the machine and the 8AA batteries...I understand notching out 1 or 2 segments above or below will thin out my chances..Like JJ said notching in quarters you will lose some...I am just looking for whats available out there with this feature and not having to break the bank...Or

Hey guys....I am looking for a machine that can notch in any certain item I want..Let's say I wanted to just find dime's...Is there a machine that comes to mind that can do this...I'm looking at some garretts in the gta,gtax series...I noticed the newer Fishers only disc up the scale to a certain point..I need something that can notch in or out all the way up to the highest disc...

I think it was a great review..Short..but at least we know the headphones and cheap coil bolts are something to consider...this is the kind of stuff I want to hear when considering a new detector...JJ... If you need potatoes...Just let me know
