debs Title: Re: Sad or what? Post by: 1morecoin on December 30, 2009, 05:31:33 PM Normally I would be waiting by the door ready to rip the box out of the delivery mans hands, but I have had the machine on order since the end of September and the wait has taken a bit of the excitement out of it.
I suppose I better take a look at it in case it's broken or somethings missing. Title: Re: Sad or what? Post by: Legacy Hunter on December 30, 2009, 05:35:59 PM Hi Ace
what machine is it? debs Title: Re: Sad or what? Post by: 1morecoin on December 30, 2009, 05:44:09 PM It's a T2 LTD.
I am looking forward to using it on a few of my old Hammered sites, hopefully there will be a few more deep coins left there. Steve. Title: Re: Sad or what? Post by: SimonH on December 30, 2009, 05:52:31 PM Dont put it down in the grass you wont find it again with all that camoflage on it :D

Ace ;) Title: Re: Sad or what? Post by: 1morecoin on December 30, 2009, 06:09:25 PM that would be embarrasing, having to borrow a metal detector to find a metal detector :)
Title: Re: Sad or what? Post by: Sexy Legs (Leighton) on December 30, 2009, 08:29:44 PM Lol. I was just saying to Steve (legacy) the other day, wouldn't it be ironic if you're on the beach and you hit a massive signal and when you dig it it's another metal detector. Of course he took it too far and said, "And with the guys skeletal hand still clutching it!"
:) Title: Re: Sad or what? Post by: Legacy Hunter on December 30, 2009, 09:04:08 PM Lol

Title: Re: Sad or what? Post by: SimonH on December 30, 2009, 10:18:16 PM Both the T2 & T2 Ltd state they are both 3.6lbs with batteries installed.
Title: Re: Sad or what? Post by: PHIL YNYSBOETH on December 30, 2009, 10:27:17 PM Similar weight to the F75 and F75 LTD then
3.5lbs (1.6kg) with batterys Title: Re: Sad or what? Post by: 1morecoin on December 31, 2009, 03:41:03 PM Well I have put it together and it feels really nice and well balanced, no coil cover though which surprised me, but the machine comes with two coils and there is a coil cover on the 5 inch coil which I found odd, I will buy all the covers next week when Regton is open.
Had a look through the manual and it looks easy to set up, very similar to the F75 I used to have, but what I am really looking forward to is going over two sites which have turned up scattered hoards in the past using the machines cache mode, fingers crossed.

Post by: waltonbasinman on January 01, 2010, 10:09:30 AM I was looking to get another detector and was recomended the T2 by a few people but in the course of the last few weeks the cost of them new has shot up two hundred pound for no apparent reason. Can any one explain. ???
Title: Re: Sad or what? Post by: SimonH on January 01, 2010, 10:12:47 AM Probably the weak pound and the popularity.
Title: Re: Sad or what? Post by: handyman [Alan} on January 01, 2010, 10:21:56 AM probably greed by the retailer - -try approaching the manufacturer direct.
Title: Re: Sad or what? Post by: 1morecoin on January 01, 2010, 01:37:48 PM I phoned around just before Christmas and apparently the next batch of T2's will be coming into the country the end of January, and they have been taking orders for them for a while, this I think shows how good the machine is, as I do not remember any other machine in the last ten years being sold out so quickly.
Steve. Title: Re: Sad or what? Post by: Legacy Hunter on January 01, 2010, 02:33:06 PM glad you opened it at last lol hope you enjoy it let us know what yopu find on your first outing
debs Title: Re: Sad or what? Post by: simon c on January 01, 2010, 03:01:57 PM Welldone on the new T2 ltd Steve,did you have the original T2 before,I'm waiting to hear from anyone who's had both to see if the improvements to the LTD are worth the extra,let us know how you get on with it :)
Title: Re: Sad or what? Post by: 1morecoin on January 01, 2010, 03:14:04 PM Hi Simon, I had the F75 before this so I should be able to get an idea of the differences between the two machines, as the T2 & F75 I think were basically the same.
I am tempted to take it out this weekend but I hav'nt got any covers for it yet, if I get out I will let you know how I get on. Steve. Title: Re: Sad or what? Post by: PHIL YNYSBOETH on January 01, 2010, 03:34:20 PM I think the T2 and the Fisher f75 are having a bit of a revival they seem to have a bit of a cult following on the Net.
You could pick the Fisher up new for £450 years ago I paid £650 and i see the in Detecting mags they done up again If we all start Rubbishing the F75 and the T2 Maybe i could afford a new Ltb before next Xmas lol Worth a try lol Title: Re: Sad or what? Post by: Chef Geoff on January 01, 2010, 04:05:11 PM I was looking to get another detector and was recomended the T2 by a few people but in the course of the last few weeks the cost of them new has shot up two hundred pound for no apparent reason. Can any one explain. ??? Paul your right they did go up by £220 almost over night but it was a few months ago not weeks. the main reason was the launch of the 3 lesser powered Teknetics machines. they had to bump up the price of the T2 otherwise it would of been roughly the same price as the Omega 8000. Plus Etrac and V3 at £1300 showed what the market could stand. |
