Hi all, I know that some members are or have been T2 users and I would like to know if anyone has used the 12x15 SEF with it? and if so what is it like to use?

I asked the question a while back chef, Maxine said that she tried one with her F75 and that it had caused so many problems etc; that she sent it straight back, for the money that they cost I don't think that they are sorted for the T2 , have seen a few up for sale but don't feel tempted.

Hi Hedgehog and Chef, Smiley
I had a 15x12, I dont know if I got a faulty one but I had difficulty getting the F75 stable! My theory is it was seeing too much ground and overloading the machine, I know that a few GMP users have not had very good results with the 15x12, that said maybe the 12x10 being smaller could be ok.

I think the stock coil does a great job on the T2/F75 - Good depth and still very sensitive to small finds.

I found that depth on small hammered remained the same, with a silver Pontin the edge went to the S.E.F. (12x10). I would think with the 15x12 the extra size and increased pick up of ground effect would reduce the sensitivity to these small items even more.
On a Viccy penny the depth gain with the S.E.F. was two inches.
Coins on edge responded better with the S.E.F.

Why haven't I got a S.E.F. on my T2 ? To scared of the creaking noise as I swept the coil back and forth. I can't see the handle to shaft mount lasting long. Its the weak point on both T2 and F75 and the repair cost is £50 odd.

Well I tried the 12x15 on the T2, it seems to work ok, not too noisy. It wont GB but that doesn't seem to effect it's running as to weather I'm getting any extra depth only time will tell. the extra weight seems ok with no apparent strain on the T2, all feels tight and no whipping.

Do you mean it won't Fast Grab which seems fairly normal in Wales? You can still ground balance the machine yourself I hope.

I may have started the creaking on my T2 by using a big concentric which was fine till I hit a stone but that coil wasn't as heavy as the 12x15.
