Man, I got permission to hunt a yard that is within talking distance of the Cherry Mansion: Grant's headquarters just before the Shiloh battle. So Far? On beat up three ringer. I'm not finshed hunting it yet as I have been more or less cherry picking the hi signals in the 70;s and 80's for bullets and buttons. (AT Pro) I am thoroughly surprised at the lack of relics. I have been

As always, I am anxious to get the new detetcor and learn it. But what I Really want to know is how wll it performs in red dirt. My Test garden has some targets in it that the top of the line detectors wouldn't touch. We'll see what happens, Perhaps I have stumbled acoss a piece of art that is purely designed for red dirt. If not, one of y'all may not be paying top dollar for a

Thanks for the heads up!!!! I corrected it to say the SE model. I appreciate it. I also fixed my spelling errors. When I get to poking the keyboard fast, anything is liable to come out.

I bought this detector from Bart At Bigboyshobbies, The UPS dropped it at my house on March the 22. What;'s that, ten days ago? Well, that's how old it is. I am pricing for the fast sell. There are no issues at all with this unit. It will air test a dime at a foot easy. It will almost do that with the 5 inch coil, I crap you not. I have my bill of sale which I can send with the unit.

All I can say is wow!!! I was expecting the T2 to sound off with some kind of tone when you had it in Monotone and Disc at 21. I have been using that very setting to attempt to unmask some nonferrous items from a nail bed. Back to the drawing board. Thanks for the video.

Hunting in red dirt, andladen with nails, I read your article closely and was intrigued. It looks like their is hope for me yet concerning red dirt and suare nail beds so thick that every plug of dirt ahs three or four nails in it.

I have bought many detectors from Bigboyshobbies.com, from Bart Davis the proprieter, and he has ALWAYS served me up the best prices!!!!
I bought a CZ-3D from Tom Dankowski that he had done his thing too and I felt that he gave me a great price PLUS he threw in a hang-up poster of the shuttle PLUS one of his INLAND instructional DVD's which NO detectorists should be without. That DVD has be

Yes, I found those same research tools. Before reading all of that I was thinking that I had found a Ninth Infantry Indiana Volunteers badge from the Civil War since I had found CW bullets and a coupleof other CW relics in the nails. I was all pumped up and had done called a couple of people saying: Hey, Gary, man I have done found a badge from one of the CW Union troops!!. THEN i did my resear

Still got the stock coil attached. These two items came from about 30 minutes of swinging through the notorious square nail pit. Dis regard the 69 cal bullet as I found it in a field across the river from Shiloh. It made it's way over there during the two days of hell on earth that took place at Shiloh in 1862. I was in one of those fields that had sufficint vegetation to keep my coil about

Thanks guys. My two priorities in relation to my detcting hobby is to ONE build a good and effective test garden (using the ideas that y'all are giving me) and TWO research some new hunting locales. In a few minutes, a lady will arrive to sit with momma giving me several hours to detect. I guess that I'll have to go back to the old sites with my new T2SE and see if I missed anything. I&

What are the makings of a good test garden. How should I create one that will help me with real world hunting applications. Up intil now, my test gardens have neen a few coins buried at different depths that I use to run a new detector over and make sure that all is well.
But how importamt is the test garden...really? And if it is THAT important, how can I build one that will help me the most

Well, mine has acquired all of the targets in my test garden but one. That is in BP 2 tone mode. Sens 90. Disc at 0. The one that it would call iron was a 9 inch silver quarter that also troubles the AT Pro somewhat. I think I let a piece of iron trach get pitched in with it. It gives an iron tone on it. It also stuggled to hit a 6.5 inch silver dime at another area of the yard that, for some rea

Thanks Daniel. I am surprised that their are no other T2 owners out there. But back to you Daniel, since you are always faithful to answer my newbie questions. I had suspected, because I had read, that this machine is the same as the F75SE, since I sold off my F75SE I figured that I would replace it with this, if for nothing else, but the greater iron range of numbers.
Oh well, the UPS m

Like, it's a bit late now to read reviews, but it would cheer me up to hear someone say..."Oh, my T2 is killer in the red dirt where I live. I even carry it to Culpepper VA on the big hunts up there. I wouldn't be without it!"
Feel free to exaggerate. LOL

Well, I'll make do I guess. There is a brand new one headed my way and is due to be delivered tomorrow. I had always heard that they were the F75 and the T2 are the same unit but that's what I get for believing everything I read on forums. Anyway, it will be fun to run a new detctor thru my test garden and then thru the sites. I needed a new detector like I needed another........appenda
