    Found a Silver half with my T-2

    I was detecting a ski hill near my house and was finding a lot of modern change. Up on top of the hill I got a nice sounding coin range signal and about 4" deep I found a 1951 Franklin Silver Half. Since I was finding all modern coinage I got a little careless in my digging and I gave poor Ben a...

    First time out with Coin$trike

    I took my Coin$trike out for the first time tonight. I have some modern and old coins glued to paint sticks and I laid them on the ground to see how they read. I couldn't get the numbers to read the same with each pass , but it gave a good tone. I set the iron disc. to 99 and used the 525 set...

    My Coin$trike is arriving today.

    My Coin$trike is arriving today. I've owned many different Tesoros , a Garret 2500 , and an E-Trac. I currently own a T-2 and an X-Terra 705 , but I am going to sell my 705 to a friend of mine who wants it pretty bad. That will leave me with my T-2 and Coin$trike. I've never owned a Fisher...

    Found a 1918 dag tax tag

    I was poking around my dad's house ( Next door to me ) with my 705 in the dark last night and I found a flat piece of metal shaped like a bell. I figured that it was a dog collar tag , and when I cleaned it up that's what it was. I just didn't think that it would be from 1918. It says from top...

    1st quick hunt with T-2

    I took the T-2 out yesterday for a quick hunt in my yard ( Old and Trashy ) before my gig yesterday. I've hit my yard hard with my previous detectors ( Tesoros -(Vaquero , Tejon , Cortes , and Golden Umax) , Garrets GTI 2500 , and minelab E-Trac. I found a 1942-P wartime nickel within the first...

    Do you need to lower sensitivity in Trashy areas?

    Sorry for all of the questions , but I just got my T-2 and I'd like the opinion of some experienced T-2 users on a couple of things. Can you run a high sensitivity in trashy areas or do you need to run the sensitivity lower to get better target seperation?? What sensitivity do some of you use in...

    How many tones do you hunt with??

    I read through the owners manual and I'm ready to give the T-2 it's first test run. I'm not sure how many tones I want to start with when I start using the T-2. I many hunt old house yards with lots of trash. How many tones do you hunt with and what types af areas do you detect? Thanks ...

    T-2 Assembly question

    My T-2 arrived today and when I put the rubber washers on the lower rod the stock coil went on very difficulty. It would barely move even without tightening the plastic nut. I didn't like how tight the coil was so I took off the coil and removed the rubber washers and it seems to still fit snug...

    Teknetics Question?

    Is teknetics it's own company , or is it a branch off of another detector company. Just curious because I've heard the T-2 compared to the Fisher F75 a lot. Or is it just that they are comparable with their detecting abilities? Probably a dumb question , but I was just wondering. Thanks. I've...

    How does the T-2 handle trashy sites??

    Hi there. I'm thinking of trading my Vaquero in for either a new minelab X-Terra 705 ( Second generation ) , or a like new ( Used once for 15 Minutes ) T-2. They will both cost me the same amount and I'm having a hard time deciding which one to go for. I mainly hunt old homes that are trash /...

    My E-Trac loves Rusty Nails!

    I've been using my E-Trac a couple of months now and have read Andys book a few times , but no matter what settings I use or adjustments I make I can't keep rusty nails from sounding like a good target. I don't mind digging some trash , but I've literally dug enough rusty nails to build a small...

    How does the Spectra V3 do in trashy areas??

    I bought my e-trac because it was supposed to do good in high trashy areas. granted I have pulled coins out of trashy sites that I couldn't find with my tesoro , but I have dug more rusty nails and bolts than I have ever dug before with the e-trac. Plus I get a good tone - hit the area again and...
