Thanks mate - Yeah I read the same - food for thought I was set to get the F75 SE but not sure if the T2 SE is more suited to us this side of the pond.

Anybody else offer any views please? My E-Trac is now sold and the money is burning a hold in my pocket

How much did you get for it Jon. Last time I looked it was on 400 smakeroonies.

[JRD]

A lot more than that in the end

Just sent you email regarding.

Thanks for advise so far.
If anyone else has more opinions of which one to get?
Please fire them over. Will prob look to buy new detector this evening, kind of swaying the T2 SE way now, but I am easily swayed!

Hello JRD
( my opinion )
Between both the machines I dont think there are many significant diferences...I think that from a certain date they are the same machine if I recall correctly teknetics bought the Fisher company, or at least that is what I was told after starting a similiar topic on another forum.

The T 2 is a little chatty, but for me that is a good thing, I am used to the g 2 which likes to `` talk´´ aswell. I personally would go for the T 2, purely because it is for some reason the better known machine of the two, think future, if you eventually want to get another machine and sell this one I believe you would sell the T2 Special edition easier than the F 75.

I have seen great reviews of teh T 2 special edition, and currently am torn between the T 2 special edition and the XP Deus..

Good luck making your mind up..

Hi metalmickey.
Would you like to give us some input...as I said below this was `` my opinion´´ based on similiar topics and discussions, what made you prefer the F 75 over the T 2 ? ?

The F75 has a back light. AWESOME feature with very little battery draw. 30-50 hrs on 4 AA.
F75 has a notch feature.
F75 retains settings when turned off.
F75 iron goes 1-20. T2 1-40.

Those are the main ones right off the tops of my head.

Its through such exchange of opinions and experience that we find out which machine addapts to our needs....

Thanks ..

But depth and efeciency they are practically the same, yes ? ? ?

This thread is two years old so Jon probably made his decision some time ago

I think the original T2 is regarded as the more sensitive model but as with all sensitive machines it was very chattery, unfortunately us detectorists have become lazy in the way we use discrimination and just want a machine to tell us when it's guaranteed good without all the other noises and so the 6 and 6.5 have been "civilised" for better sales. The T2 does seem to have a slightly lower acceptance on low conductors but this is more "on paper" than in the field, so yes basically the same machine with just enough difference for people to want both (cynical)

Great reply Chef Geof..

I know this thread is old but I have ``hijacked´´ it and am getting some great feedback...ehheheheheh
