OUT WITH THE T-2 AGAIN REALLY LIKING IT ALL METAL IS AWESOME ON THIS MACHINE

Got out today with the t-2 again really starting to impress me more and more if you can belive that.Learning some of the nuances of the machine.Hunted a small cavalry camp this morning actually a picket post for the camp not really an iron laced site but ive worked it for years and gave up on it after hitting it with some other deep seeking detectors.Nothing earth shattering in there today but was trying different settings.Good ground about 55 on the G.C. So i ran all metal exclusively nails and small iron were hitting 28-30. i was running sensitivity in all metal at 40 to maintain a smooth threshold. still super deep at this setting pulled a couple of bullets and a poker chip and a small carve and super depth the bullets were over the foot mark poker chip at about 9-10 inches and the small carve at about 5-6.Still seeing that anything over say 9-10 inches dosent I.D. just stays blank which is perfect most machines would try and through those deepies into the iron range but the t-2 once it can get a lock it pretty much stays there till dug. best target I.D. I've ever seen bar none.Once the machine can I.d in all metal its going to I.D. in disc I belive that. one thing I tried at a different site this evening was running disc and every so often getting a high tone in the 2+ tone I.D. mode thinking it was an iron false i would check it in all metal and the all metal never went high stayed around 30.i belive the all metal mode is just awesome on this machine and cant hunt in trash with it with the super quick target response and stable and accurat visual I.D.

I could say more about this machine but I want some more time to test it before making bold statements.But as of now unless this new fisher is somthing exceptional ive found the perfect machine.[For my hunting style].

More to follow in a few days.

Nice report Keith,

Question for you. Are you sure you didn't miss anything in All metal mode that hit slightly in mode 2+? I ask this cause sometimes an all metal mode won't hit so hard on high conductive targets like a VLF discrimination mode will. Did you actually dig to verify? I dig a bit more than I should when "learning" a detector.

I'm sort of curious also regarding the new Fisher. Being more of a coin hunter I wonder how a lower frequency would work here in Germany. We often have bad soil (mineralized clay) which is perfect for a lower freq detector. I think the T2's higher freq will hit better on the smaller coins though.

Great depth you got there. I'm starting to experience it too, not quite as deep as you though.

Keep up the reports,

Ive tried different modes i like the 2+ out of the disc tones the best.i find that when you get a high tone in the iron sometimes just a one way hit it will also show on the all metal side if you watch closely.Its the high tones in disc that seem suspicious to start with usually [I say usually] wont come up on the all metal side. if that makes any since to you.Most of the time on any detector if you can get what I call a round sound in the iron noise its good. Quick chirpy hits that are high seem to be more iron hits than good targets there are exceptions but for the most part. basically boils down to how hard you want to hunt a site after a while with a detector you've got experince on its not as confussing as a brand new model just starting out.

Still have to say the t2 gives you the round sound hit in the iron better than anything ive seen. others might hit it but its in that iffy zone more like a high nail hit not with the t2 if its solid its somthing .
All metal i.D. seems more stable to me but thats probably now that I think about it im running real low sensitivity say 40 and disc is up around 85 or so that might be the biggest part of the whole scenario. i might see wahta happens with a lower sensitivity next time out.

still learning we can all help each other .

Are you getting that depth running AM with 40 sens and 85 disc??

I would never have thought of that, is that correct?

I have been mostly running in disc with the sens around 80 and the disc about 25. Iron is high at about 1.0% and lot's of trash but still the T2 performs well. Also I run mostly in 2+ and sometimes 3. I like the 3b to check for steel crown bottle caps, it work's well if there are a lot of them but isn't helpful on other stuff. I cannot seem to get a stable TID on a small calibre minnie type bullet, it jumps through the 50s 60s 70s and 80s but mostly stays in the 70s. I dug two today that were reading that way. A regular size bullet seem's to TID ok at 73 but these small pistol bullets wont lock for me. Have you noticed that the TID is off on 3b and Dp? Mine is anyway, but on the other settings the TID is stable. It seem's to be the best on 2+, 3, and 4 but I usually just stay in 2+ because I like the tone...

Let me know about those AM settings,

Thanks,

J

Good report Keith,

I need to start using the all metal feature more offen, The 2-tone has me spoiled so it'll be hard to break away but I will make an honest effort to use the all metal more offen.

Thanks for lighting the the way,

I just discriminate enough to get rid of the ground mineral noise which is about 10.Hope this helps

Keep it coming Keith. You got me learning and thinking now.

I think you're saying the Id won't come up on the all metal side when you get a high tone hit (sometimes if it's bad/false) on the disc side? I'm definitely going to start probing with the AM side and playing more with the different modes. Getting comfortable with just one mode on such a powerful detector is bad practice and I don't want to go down that road.

By round sound are you sort of saying it doesn't hit so wide and is a bit clearer and not fuzzy? (I'm thinking of my Nautilus here as I haven't used the T2 in AM too much).

I'm going to start comparing ID in AM with Disc. Very good point. AM is like another mode to check targets in just as much as another detector!

I think we are starting to see how powerful this detector is...
