Went to a nearby school with a playground about a 3 hour hunt T2 was red hot settings in the pea gravel were sens. 70 disc 48 tones 3 gb. 47 found most of the coins there.Then I hunted the grass sens. 93 disc. 80 tones 3 gb 57 I might add here that I hunted this same area with my DFX about a month ago only found $ 1.78 not downing the machine just wasn't for me.
Started finding several coins around the 3 to 5" depth and then got a loud beeep! a little broken but sounded real good so decided to dig about 5" down checked the plug nothing was using pro pointer scanned around the hole got faint beep on the side of the hole so dug sideways a couple of scoops checked the dirt and wa'lah "GOLD" thought at first it was a class ring but upon closer inspection man's ring with tigers eye and small diamond had my daughter with me 11 and shouted hey look at this a gold ring and she calmly stated yeah that's cool dad:detecting:
So from there found a few more coins and then started to leave and I said let me try this small grass area by a fence she said OK but last spot so I agreed. Found a coin and then got another signal dime vdi 87 2in, dug it, dime, checked again beep quarter sure nuff 2in down quarter, checked again quarter, she dug and said there it is and then said no wait there's two stuck together! checked again nickel so I checked the hole with pin pointer beep! found another dime , So she said check it one more time and who would have guessed one single quarter signal and out it came so all total for this last dig was $ 1.25 cents pocket spill Incidentally she was more thrilled over that than she was the ring, but who cares she was out with her dad when she could have stayed home.
So got home cleaned up the ring and bam 18k gold with tigers eye and diamond heavy! somebody pinch me:yikes:
And another nice surprise was cleaning the coins and one of the quarters looked larger than the rest & whaata you know a Susan b. anthony dollar:yo:
So needless to say a great day $8.23 cents + gold ring, sun shine, 80 degrees and some great finds, so sorry for the long post but these kind of day's don't happen to often for me anyway.
thanks for taking the time to read this post

Nice going !!!!

The BIG CONGRATS....:):):) And I bet if you found a IPod laying in the grass, your daughter would freak out like you did on the ring......lol
 
wtg sounds like you gonna have some great fun with the t2.
I also understand what you're saying about the dfx I felt the same way about my mxt and not gonna knock it but I have much more fun with the omega than I did the mxt and for some reason I find more with each trip these teknetics is just truly some great detectors without a doubt.
 
Thanks everybody I did learn one thing about this machine that I didn't know I have been missing targets because I was listening for that solid beep beep like I had with the CZ3D but this one makes several beeps when you pass over a good target and it is repeatable in both directions + learning to size targets better.

thanks TNDIGGIN
 
Neat story....and that is one terrific looking ring. 18K doesn't pop up very often. Great find! :thumbup: HH jim tn
 
nice ring and good coin count, glad you were able to get out with your daughter. Jimmie
 
Thanks guy's Also have another Question for the T2 guy's this ring rang up with a high tone thought it would be medium? Just wondering.:shrug:
 
Found a real honker of a 14k gold wedding band years ago with my White's detector. ID'd as a penny. And this detectors analog meter was dead accurate on targets. TN, my theory for your ring is 18kt purity+mass of ring, caused the high tone. Yeah, my ring read 1 1/2" deep. Almost passed up digging it.
 
Some gold items with mass ring high tones ..
 
Congrats on time well spent with your daughter...and the great ring!
 
every signal you got would be high tone since you had the disc. at 80. the biggest ring i've gotten rang in at 73 but it was only 10k.
