“I’ve just tried one of these, my brother owns it, I haven’t detected for some time. I hated it to start as I don’t like lots of chattering going on, not knowing how to change the settings I persevered. He kept going on about how it finds hammered and halfs, quarters etc. I put the 4 gold coins found with it down to luck (all seperate locations). He found 2 in the previous 25 years with a range of detectors. So I tried it last night. I have found loads of hammered coins including a hoard with my trusty Minelab xs2a pro and prior to that my laser B1. No I didn’t find hammered on the first outing. Frustration quickly set in. Why???. because I couldn’t find what it told me was in front of my eyes. Time after time I found myself like a forensic investigator sifting through minute bits to find tiny fragments of buckles. Then depth I thought, ‘it must be in the side, hole getting bigger, so I learned to trust the pinpoint indicator re depth. After digging one of those darn 4 hole buttons at what I thought was a good depth. I thought, next time it’s deep I’m carefully going to check the depth. The chance came, top soil cleared, and out came a thin piece of lead from the clay under the topsoil, This and the size of my middle finger nail. Depth checked with my spade 10 to 11″. I was dumbfounded, so I presumed I’d missed a bigger piece of lead and it was a fragment. Nope it was the target, and it was a strong signal, so it’s range must have been higher than 12″ for that lead. Head scratching I carried on and more tiny fragments of various bits. Of such a small size I’ve never dug them before. Not only does it have great depth it still seems to recognise tiny fragments as good targets. No wonder he says it finds quarters, and the gold count I believe has gone up due to the T2. The hint really should have been the new gadget he has. He bought a pinpoint probe because of the T2. He’s never had one before. Now I will be buying a T2 and for the first time a probe. I am stunned at this ability of this machine. I never believe those wild claims in the magazines. My brother has been through a myriad of detectors. i can’t see him ever giving this one up, unless of course T” make one that provides a photo of the buried item before you dig it. I’m getting on the phone to buy one now. Two detectors in 15 years tells you I’m not one to be convinced by any old detector. The B1 was renowned and the xs2a had a good following too. But they can’t touch the T2 in my opinion. I’m ringing Regton now”
