Now you want money! lol
Just received my metal detector for my B-day, but it was the wrong one. The wife got me the Teknetics T2 ES LTD instead of the Garrett AT Pro/ Gold. Just need some advice if i should keep it or swap it out? Took it for a test run with the 5" coil and was not impressed. Tested it on some silver coins i found with my Delta but for some reason it jumps all around and never gives me the same ID number... Bought the coil covers from the factory which is literary 5 miles from where i live. Ran it in discrimination at 39, sensitivity at 85 and 3 on tone. Hunted an early 20's dump which has been good to my the past couple month as you can see below. Used my delta 4000. Maybe i had a bad day.

really I do great with mine and have fun detecting. Isn't that the reason we do this. I have never said anything negative about another machine but when I upgraded I wasn't interested in spending 1000 dollars or more when I could get a good machine for much less and get in water with it. I have the pro and may buy the gold too because I love detecting with my machine. Good luck everyone.Yeah, I'd keep it, too. It wouldn't be nice to push it off on some poor sucker. Those companies are going down.
I think he's talking about the t2 and first texas. Silly either way. Must have inside information nobody else has.really I do great with mine and have fun detecting. Isn't that the reason we do this.

yea I re read it and think you are rite. I have no exp with the t2 so I can't tell you anything about that one. I have hunted with Garrett's and an old bounty hunter. I have hunted with guys with other machines that are older models and my pro does so much better in heavy iron with even the stock coil. I'm sure there are detectors out there that are better on depth and in iron than my pro but I am happy with the pro and it was a great price. The other detectors I've used were not good or even a waste of time in heavy iron. I like to hunt fields and old home sites that are long gone or falling apart and the pro does better than anything I've used in the past. I also like to hunt in the rivers on old crossing sites so the water proof is awesome for me.I think he's talking about the t2 and first texas. Silly either way.
