T2 Sweep

[T2]

I'm finding with my T2 if I use a slower sweep I am getting more in places I had been to before and thought I had dug everything. Anyone else have any hints on sweep slow/fast?

I have one of the older T2 and during an air test I need to go fast to pick it up. Yet a medium sweep is fine in the ground. If I go real slow I lose the tone. Especially if it is deep.

Thanks for the reply! It may have just been my imagination. Maybe with the moister in the soil here recently in VA made for a better signal.

I have found that a shorter sweep = stronger signals, and a shorter sweep = a slower sweep.

I've found the same thing. I may get a quick beep on my initial pass but going back to the target with a slower sweep the target is stronger.

Thanks Guys! Now I have to go over 500 acres again with a slower sweep! Gives me hope that there are things I have missed!!!!!!!

The short slow sweep worked like a charm! Pulled 16 buttons in 6 hours. My personal record! 12 Flats, 2 Zoaves, 1 flower and a convex one piece button with a eagle. I believe it is from War of 1812 but still trying to ID.
