You really need a probe w. the T2.....

[Bill Ladd]

as it is super sensitive to tiny conductors. I'm finding tiny scraps of lead, BB's, wire, etc.....(Stuff other detectors just ignore or just give a little click & you wouldn't dig). A handheld probe seems like a must with a detector with this type power. It's all worth it as I'm also finding Colonial pewter buttons, that tiny 3-cent piece, etc. Seems like a matter a time for a cut piece of 8, or a tiny cobb or something which are also very hard targets to find. All my 1700's cellar holes can use another look it seems, as the small coins & buttons there get real deep under 200 years of leaf fall...

I used the Uniprobe myself when I used my T-2 as the T-2 was very sensitive to those small targets. I found even the Uniprobe sometimes couldn't see what the T-2 could see like some thin alum foil.
I think anyone that has a T-2 will tell you you need a good pinpointing probe to find some of the very small targets the T-2 will see.
I will say I sold my T-2 as I need the money to repair my truck and had too many detector, but I do miss that T-2 and will have one back again as it did well for me, got me my first gold ring of the year, got me a walking lib half that was missed by many, but it was in heavy trash and very deep. Got me this coin token that got my old heat pumping as i thought I had my first gold coin.[attachment 33219 minto.jpg]
As you see the size of this coin compared to the penny. This coin token was about 6 inches deep in a well worked old park here in ND. It gave a very nice repeatable signal.

I agree with Rick 100%. The UniProbe is very sensitive to objects other probes don't see. I have the regular UniProbe and not the pocket version. I have three machines and it is nice to be able to use it between machines. One 9v battery last quite a while. With the my CZ-3D I have to turn the volume down or I would be deaf. I turn it down a little bit with the T2. With my Explorer, I leave it on full volume.

True. Yesterday I dug some really really small fragments, but the I could tell they were buy how non existent the pinpoint was. Literally the object only existed about 1/4" wide, but it hit clear. Objects (little aluminum and metal piece) were only a few inches deep.

Using a regular probe but have been thinking of a uniprobe or vibraprobe...

I don't have a T-2 but I do have a UniProbe that I use with all my land-based detectors and I love it. Thinking about trying the pocket version as well.

In most areas you can pinpoint objects to an exact location down to approximately 3" deep before you dig. This makes for minimum digging, especially in well manicured lawns.

Just have to be careful, sometimes my X-5 finds things so small even the UniProbe has trouble detecting them and I suspect the T-2 might do the same thing.

Best regards,

It's the most sensitive probe I've tried.

The T2 will sometimes find the tiniest targets!
You need a good probe to find them.

Sherlock DTS-PRO. I got it because I needed a probe to use with my Tejon and it was cheap and I didn't know which probe was good or bad. Frankly, I have been very happy with the Sherlock and haven't had any problem with it not finding stuff. It's not quite as sensitive as the SR inline probe on my GT but still... it's under 50 bucks and works, and I can hear it with my headphones on.

You're right Bill,

The T-2 or most other detectors do need a probe to help the user locate the target, Especially the smaller targets. Plus, How many times have we come across a hole dug by someone else leaving an old coin or two behind because they didn't have a probe to help in locating other targets in the same hole.

I use a homemade Pi probe for any detector I have without an inline probe, Never leave home without it.
