about the T2/F-75 vs the Edge/Coinstrike for coin hunters?

I have been using a borrowed T2 for a couple weeks and it is making some great coin finds for me but, I am digging almost every iffy signal in the iron to get them! Solid locks of course are very rare in these conditions with any machine especially those hard to get older nickels. Despite the great see-thru of the DD coil I have found it neccessary to use lots of overlap to eek out the iffy signals left in my hunted out spots. It produces for sure but the trash side gets very heavy in a hurry.

Currently I do not have an Edge or C$ and have never tried the 6" coils on them either. For those that have used the smaller coils, I would like opinions of how they compare for someone that is mostly interested in coins against the T2 in those worked out iron spots.

TIA Tom

I suggest you borrow an EDGE or COIN_STRIKE with the five inch coil. You will be very happy with the suppuration you get in iron and other trash areas.

I was in such a place the last hunt I did with Bill Ladd.

I was so consumed, (if I can use this phrase), with learning the F75 in the iron trash, I never tried anything different. One of the problems is because the good targets are all very deep, 10

Hi Everett,

I'm well aware of what the Edge & Coinstrike are capable off with the stock coils. The Coinstrike was my primary machine for 3 years but I traded it off before the small coils came out.

I will be using the T2 today at a 120 yr old homesite that I just got permission to hunt and my buddy will be there with the Coinstrike. Its a farmstead that has been inhabited for the entire 120 yrs so there will be lots of trash/iron of all kinds and hopefully some old coins.

Bill,

Hww did the F-75 do on the deep nails ect.? I know Dave and John built some tricks into the T2/F-75 to help keep iron from wrapping around to high coin, its nothing like the 1266 but I am digging deep rusty nails straight and bent. Had not dug a fence nail in recent memory using the Edge or C$ but I dug a couple the other day with the T2..

5" is even better. I have gone back to trashy, hunted out sites and pulled out missed coins with the SunRay 5" on my C$, and one one my SE. I'd say in my ground I got about 6" maybe a little more in cleaner areas. I open up the disc. and listen to it all and when I hear a high blip, I investigate from different angles. I would highly recommend the 5" coil for the C$.

I have an F75 on the way. I'm looking forward to seeing what kind of separation it has compared to the others mentioned.
