Todays hunt with the T-2

[bleeohio]

Brother and i hit a homestead site today, armed with small hand picks that worked suprisingly well. This is an iron infested site that we've worked alot with every machine known to man.(i know, you've heard that before). And we have taken some nice finds from this site with other top machines over the years, but for one dislike or another the machines go down the road. (you don't marry every gal you date, do you?) Anyways, we step into the field, i'm not even done balancing(fastgrab mind you) and lucky a@@(brother) pops out an 1837 canadian half cent. I hit a few small flat buttons and then counter with an 185? biggie of my own. After an hour or so of poppin flat buttons and small lead and brass i hit on a nice 1866 indian head. Well, i celebrated a little to hard and 5 mins later he( lucky a@@), pulls a super nice 1858 flying eagle . After accusing him of bringing it from home, i finally gave in and bowwed. This machine is super sens. 2+ tones seemed to be the best choice in iron infested spot, it locked in better id than the rest. Did't try 1 tone though. I did notice some chatter when we got within 10 or so yards from each other, didn't seem to matter what freq. we were on. All in all, very impressed, i see alot of people worried if the f75 will be better or not, heck i'll be happy if mine is as good as the t2, as it will make a nice backup to the t2..... will post some pics later....

Thanks for posting blee,

Enjoyed your post and glad to see you've experienced the benefits of using the T-2 many of us see out in the trenches as well.

Please keep sharing more in the coming months ahead, Keep using that 2+ mode

Paul,

I understand the basic operation of 2+ tones. For my edification, would you please explain for me what the advantages of 2+ tones are. I mostly use 3 tones to be able to discriminate out foil, pulltabs and zink pennies.

One advantage that I see in the "+" operation is that you get an indication of the signal strength (depth) of the target.

Hello Glenn,

The 2+ mode with low discrimination allowing the iron to be heard is an excellent combo for relic hunting when the user digs all signals above iron, This allows the user to focus on two tones only. Any more may distract the user when searching older sites with a heavy abundance of iron.

Basically, The 2+ mode allows the user to not use the ID screen if she/he desires not too when searchign older (dig-all) sites.

Thanks Paul,

That is about the way I had it figured. You did not mention the depth information that is provided by the 2+. I think that is a good feature since the T2 generally (in the non + modes) gives the same audio strength regardless of the target depth.

I always use the 2+ tones...and hey if anyone thinks the new machine is better, then let them buy them..I have seen the first test of the machine..it is a bit differant..and I am sure as good...but it the Fisher name that will sell them.not it's ability...If the T2 had a differant makers name...like minelab ect..they could never be held in stock...Thank the Gods the new machine is almost ready for sale...once out of the way..they will start working on a smaller coil for the T2 .
