TEKNETICS T2 SE TESTS

Comments

I was not impressed with the original T2 at all. but this one had the option of a 'boost', this was used in all the tests, when i used it in normal mode it was very ordinary , the tone when used in this mode was very boring but at least turned it in to a half decent detector , that is when it was fitted with the Detech 13'' Ultimate Coil, i presume the Nel coil will also turn this detector in to something worth using , as soon as i tried the standard 11'' x 8'' and 5'' Coil it all went down hill, although the 5'' coil was quite good for a coil that size.
I am not convinced when using this detector among iron, quite poor.
If i had to use one a T2 i would definitely lose the coil that came with it and fit it with a Nel or Detech

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
