pinpointing

im just wondering if the t2 has a pinpointing switch, and how is pinpointing with the t2 thanks

I've been using a friends T2 for a couple of weeks now just to try it out. For me the pinpointing is difficult. There is a toggle under the housing to aid in pinpointing. I found that you have to really slowly work it to get right on the spot. The first several plugs I dug were off. I still miss a few now but it's workable.
The machine loves rusty bottle caps. My bounty hunter ignored them, the T2 does not ignore them...lol

I find it very easy to pinpoint with, using the directions in the manual. The pinpoint mode (activated by pulling the trigger) is super sensitive and so picks up on targets even if they are off to side quite easily. In fact to really zero in on the target I have to detune the detector, by positioning the coil so it is almost over the target before I pull the trigger. This makes it much easier to really zero in on the target. Using the detuning method as described in the manual lets me almost always end up with the target right in the center of the plug or hole.

When you go over the target..and you have decided you want to dig..Move your coil over just off of the place where target id's at say just right of it about 8 inches..Depress your pinpoint switch and move back over where you hit the target.. Move coil, back and forth front to back listen for loudest tone..Then a little wiggle side to side and your will be dead center of the coil..Your target will be straight down. If you have to detune you can do that as you move forward and back with the coil...

I painted the manufacturer mark on the top center of the coil with white paint. That seems to be the sweet spot. The hardest signal for me to pinpoint is a dime on edge but everything else is right on. The depth reading for a quarter is real close where the reading for a dime or penny is a little shallower than shown. Like you deerslayer, I had the 2200 before I upgraded to the T2. There is no comparison. The T2 will amaze you with the number of targets it detects but after you become accustomed to it go over the same areas you did with the 2200 and see how much you find.
