I took a dime and laid it on the grass flat, Then I put two nails (square nails) on top of it. There was a tiny part of the edge of the dime I could see. I left my Disc on 10 and tried tone 1 nothing but iron. Tone 2 nothing but iron tone three the same. Three + and it hit the dime and the iron but gave me a low iron reading then a 80-85.
I tried the Dp mood and it did the same, it hit the dime, tone 4 missed it. If I slowed down my coil swing on the two tones that worked I could hit the dime all but itself high reading. The DP mood gave me not as much of a pronounced sound more quite but the #3+ gave me a loud clean tone. Now this was done on grass in Calif Gold County so maybe in the ground a few inches or more it would be different. And a different tone would work.
The next thing I did was play with disc I had it set to ten which is I think no disc? I raised it to twenty and had the same results with the tones that worked. I then went into the foil range and the nails disappeared but it hit on the dime and showed high numbers. This doesn't mean I understand the T2 any better cause I had a hard time in the field. But I tried the same thing with my White's the 6000 xl pro and the small eliminator coil and I stared in the salt disc and nothing nail disc and still nothing it cold not find it.
I love the White's for coin hunting and ring hunting and it has found me some great finds at relic hunting but now I can see how targets are missed and how good the T2 is. Now I just have to learn to use it in a lot filled with trash and iron and learn to apply what I did in the experiment and see if it works the same!
If the new fisher can do this then I will buy it and hope it will be like a T2 but for coin hunting. Fisher has to give us something that is new and different and works. The T2 seems to be a great machine in the right hands...I just hope my hands are big enough
