One of my favorite sites had a new section cleared out recently, so I was anxious to get to parts that were previously overgrown with my T2 SE. Unfortunately, even though it was cleared out, there is stubble everywhere so it is really difficult to swing the coil. I tried Boost mode and some of the other settings, but the coil sounded off whenever I bumped the stalks.
After experimenting with some settings I decided to give All Metal a try. I had forgotten that the display still shows ID numbers while in this mode, so it is kind of a "mixed mode" of All Metal audio and Discriminate display. This setting really worked well and had a good feel. I was able to easily tell false signals from real ones and the detector was super sensitive even with the coil several inches off the ground.
I dug a bunch of buttons but the best one by far was the Firmin & Langdale button. The word "THROUGH" appears on the front of the button over the crown/below the tree. I am assuming it is a livery button of some type but I may be mistaken, so help is appreciated with the ID. I could not find the specific backmark of "FIRMIN & LANGDALE / STRAND" on any other button. Strand is the address of F&L, but all other backmarks from the manufacturer have "53 STRAND" .
