Albeit in the other half's half acre garden..

Firstly this is just as chatty as the T2 without doubt but once the GB and sensitivity is sorted it was away to go. I hate the thought of missing anything so I only discriminated the dreaded iron, it did sound off on some iron but it was always a grunt or low tone, good!

First hit was a 75-85 and I was instantly thinking silver as per my old SE (being a high number) but alas it wasn't, about 9.5 inches I dug a big old 1927 penny.. chuffed!

Second hit came a 1914 silver which was in the 90's with such a high pitch I could have made tree's scream in pain.... surprisingly it was dug at near 8 inches. Getting into my stride with it now..

Third hit came another silver, this one was 1941, again high pitch tone reading in the 90's and dug at around 7 inches.

Last find of the day was an old Dinky Toy, looks like a trailer of some sorts, came in at a strong 75 at 7 inches.

All in all a good few hours out. Seems pretty good around iron and despite complaints about depth on other forums I didn't find that a problem, it is after all a mid range detector and I've no doubt it'll go 10" easy on goodies given it's setup properly and GB when needed!

This would no doubt be a good transition from an Ace on the detecting road to something in the high range!  Grin

Well done Dusty and I'm glad it's working for you. If those depths are accurate then I wouldn't worry about using anything else, probably 99% of my finds are well within those depths Wink
