    Treasure in the tall grass

    I've been waiting all year for the frost to knock down the tall grass in this old school site ( pre 1900 ) and this last weekend I got to spend a few hours there. It was worth the wait and I'm sure next spring will be even better once the snow takes care of all the tall grass. Check out the huge...

    A good day for the T2 North of the Border

    At long last the farmers are finished harvesting, everybody's back in school, and I get my Mondays for metal detecting back. Got out with a new detecting friend Joel for a day of field hunting at old country school sites. The day started with Tims coffee and bright stars with the best fall...

    Finally drying out

    Been doing some old county school locating but it's so darn wet up here in Winnipeg it's almost impossible to hunt. I did manage to find an old school site which wasn't too wet to walk in,but the field was to wet to work and the weeds have sprung up to about my knees. I did find a small section...

    You just never know what you'll find

    Well I finally ventured out after losing my hunting pard of 40 years to brain cancer last fall. It sure wasn't the same, but the hunting was good. Of all things I found a nameplate from an Anson aircraft and a tiny little cowboy hat. Some commemorative medal ions and a nice mercury dime.

    Old city park gives up the past

    Out of my office window I've been witnessing a city park improvement and finally I went down and asked at the site what was happening. It turns out that the park is being improved to the tune of several millions of dollars. What they are doing is removing all the old fixtures, lighting, and...

    Out pops another surprise

    The weather up here in Winnipeg is wet and cold and all the crops are in so my friend and I are hard pressed to find places to hunt. We do have one field that dates back to the 1870's and is littered with iron and all sorts of high reading litter. I swore to myself that I would never hunt here...

    T2 finds from the weekend

    Finds from an 1800's homestead. The T2 performed like a trooper. A beautiful 1890 Canadian penny and an interesting 1800's key fob which I found on the Internet.

    Some interesting finds

    You just have to dig those lower numbers when your in an old location. Never know what you'll find. Just love the T2.

    T2 vs. Electric Fence

    Went to an old School on Sunday which was hunted out by many others including myself with my Explorer XS. When I got there I noticed cattle all around the surrounding field and to my dismay there was an active electric fence pulsating about every 4, 5 seconds. The T2 was so sensitive I couldn't...

    T2 depth and performance vs. Explorer XS

    Well the jury's in and the verdict is conclusive. As far as depth in good soil, the T2 and the Explorer XS are pretty much the same. I could not find any target that either machine couldn't see. In a two day field trip in Southern Manitoba in good cultivated soil conditions I found 65 keeper...

    How Deep will the T2 really go in good soil

    We recently discovered a country school (1893 - 1967) that has been untouched by any metal detectors. I have two machines, a mine lab XS and a T2. We were there for only 1/2 hour and I pulled out 6 silver coins and 8 pennies, the oldest going back to the 30"s and the newest being 1962. Every...

    Another Bouquet for the First Texas Customer Service

    Had a problem with my T2 not getting through to my headphones and sent it in for repair. First Texas Products phoned me up and asked me if I wanted the Weather Resistant Upgrade at which I said yes.Not only did they fix the problem and test the detector for nothing, but the detector looks Brand...

    T2 Waterproofing question

    Has anyone had the $50.00 waterproofing done to their machine? What do they do and is it worth the money.

    T2 Head Phone Problem

    I need to replace the Head Phone Jack on my T2. The connections are weak and the sound is becoming erratic. Does anyone know if I can just order it and replace it myself or do I have to send the whole unit in. I know it's a special jack or I would just replace it myself with something from Radio...

    Canadian Silver

    You have to understand I hardly ever find Big Silver in my neck of the woods. I was hunting an early 1900 school yard that was all field except for a row of Very large evergreens. The field was very muddy as it had just been cultivated and sticking to my boots making it hard to walk. I'm sure...

    Frost on the Pumpkin

    Got out for the day on Monday to the Ghost town of Burnside. The morning was cold with a bit of frost in the ground but it soon warmed up to be a nice day. This was the first time I put aside the XS and used the T2. .........I can only say "WOW" This is what its all about. Good friends and...

    1893 Victoria Penny

    Found this recently at an old homestead site, well treed and hard to hunt. I'm having trouble identifying old rusty bottle caps which seem to be everywhere. I guess I haven't quite mastered the 3bd method with my new T2. Could somebody please advise me on what to look for to avoid these...

    Old Homestead Advice needed

    Had a location of an old country school which turned out to be wrong, so we investigated the only possible location on the quarter section, which happened to be a 2 to 3 acre bush. Right in the middle of the bush unseen from any angle was this massive three story dilapidated old house. The house...

    My own field of dreams.

    Been going to this field which was a Hamlet in the 1800's for years now and it still produces. This field is always tough to hunt because of the iron trash but my minelab XS and Teknetics T2 always come out the winners. This time a nice 1910 small nickel, 1946s Lincoln penny and some silver. The...

    Need help to identify

    I found this shotgun shell in an old 1800"s school yard and I cannot find anything about it on the internet. I usually keep all my shell finds and have found some pretty interesting casings.
