F70 vs T2

[John(Tx)]

Have any of you guys compared these machines? I know how the F70 performs, how about the T2? Thanks, John

Earlier today I went to Kellyco's site to do a comparison of the two detectors. I don't know about the performance of the T-2, but I like the features of the F-70 better.

PS. I couldn't believe that the other Teknetics detectors had only an 1/8 " phone jack.

I wonder how the F-70 compares to the F-75? On the Detectorest web site the T-2 fell way short of the F-75 in performance.

Maybe better is strong words.More features, and seems to be a little better depth. Seperation is fantastic with F75

With 40 points of iron resolution, vs. 15 or 20 on the others, I like it a little better. Put T2 disc on 21 to just break up little nails,1 or 2 tones, & dig the good sounding signals has stood me well even with the large stock coil....

with one tone wouldn't all the signals sound the same. thanks.

21 disc breaks up the nails & other small pieces of iron making it sound static-like. A good target amid all that iron usually jumps right out at you. Plus your also looking at the meter as well.....
Some like 2 tones better to do this, but with all that constant noise, I don't like adding different tones to the mix as well. But they key is disc on 21 & relying upon the audio. It takes practice & patience as some people just get a headache after a little while of constant chatter. I tolerate it to get to buttons & coins that were previously masked....
Hopefully the smaller coil will help us get to some more...
HH,

the whole idea here is when you have "good" non-ferrous targets collocated near iron which a lot of times, if not usually, will average the two targets ID signatures to that of a number that still falls in the ferrous range but ABOVE that of a small nail or small piece of ferrous trash that is just sitting by itself. Let's say a nail, while using a T-2, will ID at 19 and the collocated target, if it wasn't being masked by the ferrous item, would ID at 60. The detector may very well "see" the two as one target that will read, say 28 which is still well within the ferrous range. If you set the detector as Bill is alluding to, you will likely hear a nice clear unbroken tone because that "28" will be above the disc setting of 21 and upon looking at the meter and also even listening in all metal, you can decide that there is possibly masking taking place (or at least a target that is different than a lone nail) and hence make the decision to investigate further and to dig or not. Under the very same situation, if you have the detector set on two tones, this pair of targets will ring in as a ferrous tone and unless you're looking at the display all the time, you'll pass it off as ferrous trash. Now, can you essentially do the same thing with a detector that only has a ferrous range of 16 numbers? Yes, albeit with a few less "unique" ID signatures, which isn't a significant difference IMO. Keep in mind that none of this is exacting as it will depend on target masses, compositions, coil, relative locations and angles, depths, ground matrix, correct GB, and the list goes on and on. Hope that helps make it a little clearer... or not.
