First Coin With THe T2

[jeff@middlesex]

Been hunting this cornfield out my way. Had a one room school house on it back around 1870. It was burned or burned to ground. I take all new detectors to this field to hunt. Some are very good, most suck. It is littered with square nails, larger iron, and of course broken off farm machinery parts. Had some luck years ago with a silver thimble, a little melted blob of gold and a broken silver ring. Some indian heads, and large Canadian Bank Tokens etc. But it's been a couple of years since I pulled anything out of there. Finding a spot to ground balance was the worst. Took me about 15 minutes to find a clear spot with no iron, and finally a spot just the size of the coil to balance on.
Got a nice 82 on the target ID and a reading of 7". And out popped this 1874 Canadian Dime. Couple of really small clothing buttons and a round shoe button were also found as pictured. And found a pottery inkwell sticking out of the dirt. This T2 is getting good!!

WTG Jeff, nice find on the dime. Particularly like that inkwell. What was your initial overall impression of the T2?

I like the T2, took me a while to learn the language but it's coming. Very simple machine to setup and operate, I really like to be able to ground balance the machine and have that work it disc mode. Thats a bonus. I have to learn to pinpoint, but thats always the last thing to do. This spot was extreme for trash so the next spot will be a little user friendly as soon as it dries up here.
