Right when I think I've decided I read something that makes me unsure, such as very bouncy vdi on the T2.
 

i hear the t2 is unstable and jumps around alot/ better for relics than coins
 

That's what I've heard as well. How's is that Safari working for ya? Like it better than the Omega and At Pro?

Hahaha...that's awesome. I'd like to get one but worry about the recovery speed. Most of my spots are pretty trashy.

ive been in some real trashy areas and havent had any problems yet.low and slow works real good for me. ive found more silver in the little time ive had it than i did with the other two combined ive dug indians 12 inches down its crazy how deep it will go
 

you have probably watched these already but just in case

That's a silly thing to make a determining factor. This isn't a race.
Reality is, that unless you're going to spend the money on a CTX, the more information that a machine provides you the slower you need to go.

Silly? I don't think so at all. I had a Minelab Quattro and it was almost unusable in trashy areas because it was nulling the entire time.

I only saw one where you found some wheaties. You should have posted them on Facebook too. I'll sub to you so I'll know when you upload new vids.

Oh yeah ever since the safari ive been getting silvers indians and jewelry

Then you needed to either get a smaller coil, go even slower, turn your Sensitivity down, or a combination of the former. If you're finding good stuff what's the hurry?

Right, or just use a detector with a better recovery speed.
 

If you are after recovery/swing speed. Then the F75 is going to be your best bet. It is fast and the DD coil is better at picking through at a quicker pace...that being said the strength of the Explorer series is among other things, stability and the ability to lock in on targets and leave no doubt..no jumping numbers(erratically), just locked in. The sacrifice(if you want to call it that) is a much slower swing speed.
 

I have been using Minelabs since 1992 and the slower pace never bothered me.......... And i have used the Sovereign in some really trashy p;aces parks and old foundations................ And never was a problem for me..... made some nice finds with that Sovereign in trashy areas.............. I guess it is just what you get use to............

The VDI bounces around when the user has an improper swing. It's deadly accurate with shoulder length swings. If you wiggle over the target, the numbers jump. I totally rely on the tones with my T2 SE and have no issues. Most that complain are just inexperienced users. It's a sensitive machine that eats up coins for lunch. I has super fast recovery. Some don't like this machine because they jack up the sensitivity and get false chatter. Super high sensitivity does not always equal super depth. Great machine for shitty soils too!!!
