TEKNETICS T2 GREEN EDITION - 6.5 TESTS Well where do I start on this one, I have a feeling I could upset a lot of T2 owners, there must be a lot out there due to the amount of covers we sell for them. If you own a T2 best not read any more! I recently tested a T2 on my test bed , I spent a lot more time on the test than would normally do on a test mainly because I could not believe how bad it performed on my test bed, I did what I normally do with a detector and sorted out the best settings, I went on line to see how others used it, I asked a friend who had a T2 how he set his up ,it was the same as I had set mine up, maybe it was a bad one I had? I tried another 3 , same results Not quite sure why so may people buy them and they are not cheap If it was a £200 detector the results would be about right The test results below are very generous in terms of discrimination because a lot of the signals were very dodgy. but I'm sure if you have used one for a while you would probably dig them I find this detector very uninspiring , not good among iron and no real depth ,I’m sure they find loads ,especially on ploughed land where depth is not an issue and there are loads of targets about. Sorry i cannot see the attraction, unless I'm missing something? |

DEPTH TESTS The depth tests are set up to gauge the power of the detector, all iron is removed from the hole. Various size items are buried at good depths |
