I think I will wait to get a T2 until the F75 comes out. When all the members of the fifteen minute club dump theirs for an F75.

That is the way it happened when the Exterra 70 came out. So many Exterra 50s on the market that you could hardly give the 50 away. And that is a shame because the 50 is a good detector.

The Xterra and and the T2 are miles apart in how good they are. I am not saying the F75 is not going to be a cool machine I think it will be easier to use and it may not be as fast at unmasking as the T2.
Time will tell but I don't think anyone that has used the T2 and found how fast it is will sell it or a F75. They may own both but we will know soon enough.

How many models have you personally used with what coils, over what type of soils/strata, looking for what kind of targets, and for how long?
I noticed you jumped right in to answer saamdiggers question on the T2 forum about the T2's use on saltwater beaches, NOT. Do you even realize that the X-Terra X70 has a Saltwater Ground Balance mode, and that it can Track GB for use on black sand beaches?
I personally test detectors under 100KV lines where they tie into sub-stations. The X-Terras are the quietest by far under those high tension lines. I am willing to bet a T2 would melt into a puddle in this location. I also have an area I hunt with buried utilities that are leaking like a sieve, and the quietest detectors are??? The X-Terras, I can run them at full sensitivity, whereas every other machine I have tried there has to have sensitivity turned down.
And how many frequencies can the T2 operate on,uuuuummmmm, oh let met guess, how about one. That means the frequency cannot be tailored to the desired target conductivities nor optimised for the soil. Let's see, two years after introduction there are how many coils for the T2, uuuuummm, oh yeah one. And that one is really nifty for working in the woods in between trees, rocks, roots, saplings, bushes, etc. The number of X-Terra coils, well let's just say you're going to have to use the fingers on both your hands to count them all.
The reality is in an apples to apples comparison the X70 is a far more versatile detector than a T2. How many people are prospecting with a T2? How many people are wet saltwater beach hunting with a T2? How about trashy park hunting? Truth be told the features that are being added to the F75 are to make it more like an X70, and less like a T2.

Not for long. ok-i suppose it can be fairly versitile for a woodchip or beach comber- good clad shooter. But- in the depth department it"s lacking and i gut tired of it tippin' over all the time and turnin' on and off by itself like its possessed. You boys always leave those flaws out like a magazine field report- but i take it you got one a them free ones-
Different frequencys? Sure-ok-if you want to spend another wad and carry around another bigger coil that floats- I was all set with that game.
There aint no depth in coin mode- plus i also gut sick of digging iron that reads in as 44 all the time. I seen paint begin peelin'- and finally I was told to get a double d coil to be able to hunt in iron- the separation was very weak and I was told try all metal--
so theres versitility only if you buy all 6 over priced floating coils? -all set there too- i can buy another detector for that--
The XTerrible i got in trade went to FeeBay and I stepped up to a T-2. Depth-and Yes- it does rather well in trashy park hunting by the way. One fella on here didnt like it in a park so now its gospel it cant park hunt?
I have use the T-2 coil in the woods-brush with no problems at all- it is absolutlely not at all different than a spoked coil in the brush- but its appears you deal mainly with sand-
Aint tryin to speak for Lawri or open up the battle lines- but continue to see you make lotsa big assumptions 'bout somethin "the t-2"- that you"ve never even tried before---
have a nice day now-

WELL I HAD THE 50 AND ONE COIL FOR ABOUT TWO MONTHS I LIVE IN THE GOLD COUNTRY AND TOOK IT TO A FEW VERY OLD FAIRGROUNDS AND OLD EMPTY LOTS. WAS A LOT SLOWER THEN THE T2. THEN I GOT THE NEWEST ONE AND TWO COILS AND WAS STILL NOT IMPRESSED. IT FELT HEAVY AND I DIDN'T LIKE THE WAY IT WORKED IN IRON. IT DIDN'T SEEM TO LOCK IN ON NUMBERS OR COME CLOSE TO GIVING ME THE INFO THAT THE T2 GAVE ME. I LIKE MY WHITE'S 6000 XL PRO AND THE FISHER 70 PRO AND THE T2 AND MY COMPASS GOLD SCANNER PRO BETTER.
I WOULD SAY I USED IT FOR AROUND SIX MONTHS NOT MY CUP OF TEA. BUT IT SEEMS YOU JUST LOVE TO HASSLE PEOPLE FOR YOUR OWN REASONS. I AM NOT SURE WHO YOUR ARE BUT YOU NEED TO BE A LOT NICER AND LET PEOPLE HAVE SOME INPUT EVEN IF YOU DON'T AGREE WITH THEM. I HAVE BEEN DETECTING FOR ABOUT 15 YEARS AND HAVE ENOUGH FINDS TO HAVE KEPT ME LOVING THE HOBBY. IT IS SOMEONE LIKE YOU THAT REALLY TAKES THE FUN OUT OF THE FORUMS.
MAYBE YOU SHOULD BE AS OPEN AS BILL LADD OR OLD CALIF IS ABOUT DETECTOR'S AND THEN YOU WOULD HAVE MORE PEOPLE READ YOUR REPLAYS. BOY I HOPE YOU ARE NOT A DEALER THAT WOULD REALLY BE A SHAME!
AND WHAT IS ALL THIS ABOUT SALT WATER HUNTING YOU HAVE THIS WAY OF FABRICATING THINGS THAT DON'T MAKE SENSE. IF YOU DON'T LIKE THE T2 AND IT IS TOO HARD FOR YOU TO UNDERSTAND THEN THAT IS OK MY BOY DON'T LOSE ANY SLEEP TO EACH HIS OWM. HAVE A GREAT NEW YEAR AND I DO HOPE THE NEW FISHERS WORK OUT I AM SURE I WILL LOVE THEM A LOT BETTER THEN THE X-TERRA'S

I'm the same way with my detectors too. I have the DD HF Elliptical, HF Round, MF Round for my X-Terra 70. Is the DD HF Round the 10.5"? What size is the DD MF Round? I'm looking for the LF Round, and the DD HF 10.5. I would be interested in the DD MF Round as well. Of course when the small coils are available, those will be sought after.
Good hunting,

THANKS JACK FOR UNDERSTANDING MY DISAPPOINTMENT WITH THE TERRA ALSO. THE T2 IS A GOOD COIN SHOOTER IT TOOK ME AWHILE TO GET USE TO THE NUMBERS FOR COINS BUT ONE DAY I FOUND AROUND FIFTY DOLLARS AND THREE RINGS IN ONE FIELD.

Yes the DD rounds are 10.5 inch. Now if Fisher/BH would bring out a 4x6DD for the C$, Edge, & Excel there would be a line out the door at Mr.Bill's place that would make it look like he was selling PlayStation 3's.
