The t2 may be old but it ain't as tired as some folks think.This is the last couple short hunts between the rain storms and running Grandaddy Day Care.
Stock coil. Mostly running 99 sen. 0 disc. BP mode unless I run into a heavy iron patch. Then I switch to 2a mode. Along with a couple bullets, a iron patch is where the 2 reales and butterfly pln came from.

There's a fellow who has a you tube channel called The Equinox Hunter. He's got several videos comparing the EQ 800, Anfibio, and T2se. If anyone cares to watch it's very interesting.

In my experience First Texas repair service, under warranty or not, is 2nd to none. Great personal attention, fast service and no run around. Good folks.

Good video. Been wanting to see the ORX in action. But why the comparison against the AT Gold. You already knew and you've already showed what that unit can't do in your previous videos. I'd like to see what the ORX can do up against the Nox, Anfibio or some others. I'm not a Garret user, never have been, so no argument intended here. Just like to know why. Why not just demon

Guys I'm really embarrassed to ask this question. But since I can't hear y'all laugh I'm gonna go for it. I've been relic hunting since the brown shoe army days. With any detector I've used through the years, which is very few, I've never really worried or thought about how they work just that they worked, until recently of course. All I ever did was get hold of

Why do you spend so much time and energy trying to prove how bad some detectors are. What do you gain by that. I can't quite figure it out. For me anyway, it kinda nulls out the good you're trying to do. A little of it is helpful if done in good taste.but man you're way over the top. If you're goal is to gain the same you tube status as the Hoover Boys you might wanna conside

I went years without a pinpointer. Now it would a a bummer not to have it. I just wish, with all this new technology, they would offer one without beeps and change it to one that says no, no, no, no, no and the play Dixie when you actually pinpoint the target.

The top 3 dogs in the fight at this time seems to be Nokta, XP, and Minelab. At least in coming out with new stuff. My question is why is everything coming with rechargeable lithium batteries rather than self replaceable double A or 9 volt. What's the pros and cons and who benefits the most.
I'm gonna take a hind end whipping on this post I'm sure. Go easy on me.
