Metal Detecting: Digging Deeper With The TekneticsT2 Metal Detector

Here is a video showing how I set up my Teknetics T2 (will work with a Fisher F75 as well) to hunt in the "all metal" mode. I also demonstrate the different sounds to listen for and how to manually ground balance the detector. There are other tricks and sounds to listen for in all metal, but I wanted to keep the video short and manageable. If there is any interest, I will do a follow-up with a few more pointers.

Here we are after 8 years and the T2 is still on top of the game with the new and big detectors ! 💪

[@alexanderbitter2194]

I got a T2 Classic earlier this year and this has been the most useful video I've found on it. All metal mode is definitely the way to go on this machine. It's found me bullets on a site that I've pounded with other machines, including more expensive ones. The TIDs are erratic, but as Chig shows here, just dig it if it sounds good. I still need more practice, but this definitely seems like one of those sleeper machines that quietly punches above its weight.

[@z0ne333z]

We need a million more vids about the T2 ,Thx

[@JohnnyButtons]

Still using the T2?

[@danieldaniels4168]

@@JohnnyButtons of course. It is old but gold still can take it without problem with the new big ones

[@JohnnyButtons]

@@danieldaniels4168 I still use the T2. It is a fantastic machine.

[@taylorman1949]

About 20yrs ago I was given a Fisher 443 all metal big box detector. The Old timers showed me how to set it up and wear it in a chest harness. I remember listening to the threshold crackling as I walked behind guys with expensive Disc. detectors, I could hear the threshold change as it went over a target, This was on Venice Beach and I remember every 10 feet I got a coin sometimes 15" deep and these guys would look back and shake their heads. I'd forgotten all about it till your video.

[@doggoneit2104]

Thanks for taking the time for making the vids ,

[@grog01]

This video is great. I've been hunting here in VA every winter with my T2 for the last 4 years. I always use the disc mode. It's killing me to see what I'm probably missing after seeing your demo. Thank you.

[@goodenj77]

Still learning the sounds!! Thanks for the input and your quick response! I will have to try again this weekend when the snow clears!!

[@Gonehunting73]

Dude thanks for sharing this video.. simple enough for even this okie to understand.. thanks Beau...

[@goodenj77]

Just bought a Teknetics T2 se. Cant wait to take it out on some of my spots!! Did pretty well on the relics with the Fisher F2, but I know this is a totally new ball game!! Your video's have been my online coarse for the T2!! Thanks again Beau!

[@beano52]

Very imfomative video, Thanks for posting !

[@jefferybernard4800]

Aquachigger your video on the t2 was one of the best you gave details on how the settings affect what you found and hunting in all metal works on other teknetics models just a little more details on scan speed

[@erickleinedeters3173]

Great video, I just brought an f75 and love it, all metal mode rules

[@stonewallbook]

I meant sensitivity. Thanks again Beau. This is all very helpful.

[@dutchief75]

Hey,Tried your settings today in my local park with my F75. picked outa 1864 new brunswick cent and an 1874 indian head cent and a little bell. had to tweak it a bit but works great!!!! Thanks for the tips.

[@rabbit7able792]

hi beau i use my t2 ltd the way you show in iron and i have had some great finds its not easy but it will go super deep,well done thanks

[@starsoulorginal]

one of the best test..even i learn a lot ,,nice

[@MegaPhil28]

OK, pas de problème,bonne continuations!

[@JohnnyButtons]

This was very informative on the T2. I'm going to swing back by the Civil War Camp that I've been hunting with a White's Coinmaster and White's Blue & Gray Pro and see if I missed a few goodies with the T2 model, lol. Thanks for the info!

[@ziggyjinx]

Ok cool.... Also would like to say been watching some of your videos and they are really interesting and some eye opening... Keep up the great work :0)

[@matthewedwards6108]

I used this program and it's by far the best method to digging. I tear it up in hunted out sites and bullets don't even read right on meter as long as it's a solid signal even though not reading good on meter (9) is what # I've had and dug down it was a bullet

[@johnnybush8764]

I'm interested in more t2 video, Aqua.

[@jackbeltane]

Thanks for making the video, is a good starter for sure. Interesting boost mode is not as deep as the all metal mode, is that boost mode on T2 SE any better?

[@IvanZehirov]

You are the best !

[@chaddthompson]

That would be great, would be nice to hear from someone who has plenty of time using both machines.

[@MetaldetectingagencyCoUk]

interesting,thanks!

[@61shirley]

Thanks mate

[@johnb2740]

Beau, Will this method work with the new green classic? From my understanding the classic doesn't have the boost mode. I wonder if doing this method in the 2 plus be almost as effective for the deep targets?

[@matthewedwards6108]

It is crazy all those iron signals I passed we're bullets went back with the this program and dug alot

[@JBernard79]

It's so hard trying to decide which to get, especially when you're not wealthy. I actually like the At Pro for coinshooting, I just think it's tid at depth could be a little better and it isn't that hot on nickels. I appreciate your response and very much enjoy your videos.

[@martelnews]

Great video...I had a t2 non boost mode and liked it. I'm surprised with boost on you could not pick up the bullet. Personally I could not hear the difference in sound between the bullet and nail, to many years playing loud music in a band.

[@armyveteran1000]

Great tips and excellent video.. I normally hunt in disc mode due to all the chatter I get with all metal. I will have to test drive your settings and give it another shot.. Any tips for settings in disc mode? Thank You

[@smenna4967]

Do you prefer the T2/F75 over the AT-Pro? In what way does the ATP stand out from the T2/F75 aside from being waterproof? Thanks!

[@jondavid1873]

Beau,. I just ordered a T-2 classic will be in a few days. I live in north fla/south ga. area.my question is I hunt jewlry/coins and some relics so knowing the ground around my area how would you set up the T-2? I have been looking at you tube and have some ideas but I would like yours. Thanks Beau

[@goodenj77]

I have been doing what you suggested and have found some more bullets and lead. It is still hard to dig the solid signals with low numbers but I am goin to have to start. Do you typically find good stuff even in the iron range?

[@TeamLotus6365]

Beau, which tones-setting would you consider the "all-around" best in discrim?

[@Booleys]

Beau, that's a nice video! At 2:20, the eagle button. The target ID is kinda jumpy 25-58-68-47-76? To be honest I could not hear the (very small?) difference in sound between the bullet and nail that good. Can you please make a follow-up video for the other tricks and maybe an other example? Kind regards and HH

[@z0ne333z]

Had my Kermits Get the Up Grade ,love it (Kermits is the name of my T2)

[@z0ne333z]

Thanks Beau ,keep the vids coming ..

[@52969RST]

Great video, Beau!! What do you mean about threshold?

[@chaddthompson]

I have been looking at either the T2 or the AT Pro. I noticed from watching your videos that you use both. What one do you like the most? Other than being waterproof does the AT have anything on the T2?

[@52969RST]

great video, aqua!! I have a atpro but looking for a better land detector. Which do you prefer the t2 or f75?Have about a 1000 dollars to spend. Thanks

[@user-zq6qi8sz9i]

Thank you, yes I will do :)

[@stonewallbook]

I have difficulty dealing with the constant chatter at that level. But I'll revisit it and see how I do. I've recently tried sens at 75-80, disc at 5, and 2+ - that worked fairly well for me. On another forum, I read about a setting the author calls "the process" - sens at 60, disc at 39, and using the BP (boost setting). I've tried it without much success, but the swears by it. Again, whatever works.

[@chaddthompson]

Thanks for the Reply, I am leaning toward the AT Pro because it is water proof. Do you have any video comparisons of the T2 and the AT in similar conditions?

[@PhatBottomOutdoors]

Beau please post a video using the F75 doing this exact same thing. I could so use the information on that specific detector. I'm not very good using the F75 in all metal mode.

[@shanek6582]

Just got a t2 today for Christmas, I don't know the first thing about it or even the terms you guys are using, this video helped but I'd love to personally have someone get me started. Are there metal detecting clubs? Thanks, I'm in northern Florida, I'd love to find an old silver coin or something. I'm not far from st Augustine.

[@Bermuda3114]

I live in Maryland and I do hunt with an E Trac but I have read some great things about the Fisher F75 for relics. Would you recommend the T2 over the Fisher. I mostly hunt CW.

[@nuggetnoggin]

Great video, at DIV i run my F75 with sens at 60 or so , i use to run it at 99 but you lose depth and pick up way too many ground minerals and hot rocks.

[@JohnnyButtons]

Really? Wow, you wouldn't think that... maybe I'll try lowering mine down some.

[@detectingfortreasures4789]

I just got TD SE I am use to Discovery 3300 , It will take a while getting use to T2

[@52969RST]

Awesome video!! Could you do a video with the ATPRO and how you like to run it! Thanks,Bro!!!!

[@cousinsgrimm7952]

Do these machines have a background light? When I turn my T2 SE on there's a background light that's on for a few seconds, I wonder if there's a way to keep it on

[@JBernard79]

I've been looking to get a better detector, I have been using the At Pro and the Fisher Coinstrike this year but I've been looking at the T2. I strictly hunt in woods, yards, and trashy parks for coins and copper Native American artifacts...is the T2 a good coinshooter? Or is it more geared towards relic detectorists? Thanks.

[@adventuresunknown1013]

Beau, I have an Alpha Teknetics detector. I'm still not real sure how to use it correctly. I guess I'll have to find some videos on it to see how it works right and/or better. I wished that I researched more before I bought it. It is my first one ever, but I wish now that I got a waterproof one first. I'm just happy that I got one. :-D

[@ziggyjinx]

Is that classed as an air test as you didn't fill the holes ? Might sound different with soil between target. But that all metal mode sure is strong.

[@taylorman1949]

What do you think of the T2 for deep silver coinhunting? I don't do much relic hunting and can't decide between the T2 or Fisher CZ3?

[@ringfinder7]

Mark, I have a question, do you set up the F-75 the same way. I haven't used mine for sometime now, but I know it is great digging 2 ringers. I usually dig anything that hits on the right side of the 75 screen. I can't remember how to GB it though, maybe you can help me. I HAVE dug a TON of nails with the 75, guess that's why I have gone to the GPX 4500, but I still like to use my 75 for a back up detector

[@stonewallbook]

Excellent Beau! I'll be watching this several times as I keep working w/my T2SE. Question for you - do you EVER use DISC mode and, if so, when? Thanks again.

[@rickyjohnson9594]

Trashy grind run it at 4 to 8. Bad very nasty 10 or just before u knock out a nickel bro u kock out a nickel u lose gold I run it 4 to 5 but trashy little bit more

[@starsoulorginal]

Very good .. .. dont know why you showing your perfect way to to use the t2.. it will get you less items to find now lol..well i agree using the t2 for many years ..most time i use all metall and with a easy pull go to disc mode.. this i found is a very helpful way to find deep targets.different to deus and many outher brad that dont alow this easy switch just pinpont and that is not the same... now if the ground is full with iron you cant runn this method. well you can but it will slow u down a lot..dont forget that the mars tiger coil is a better coil to use ,, and it look better most of all lol.. anyways its the best video explaining the t2 and all detektors in general .. thanks for sharing ..great job regards from a oldtimer with 40 years of experiance..

[@Rfprimm]

Well the box on my Sovereign is right under my forearm, and it's still tiring to swing after a while. I'm pretty sure the weight is mostly in the coil believe it or not. (Then again I have my coil fully extended so the weight of it has a lot of leverage on me.) But for me, the weight isn't too much of a problem until I hit a long stretch of beach where I don't get any signals. As long as you get a signal every couple of minutes, the weight won't be a problem.

[@rudysuchristian1230]

got a question if I may, I have a teknetics T2 LTD SE, is there amyway I can just detect gold and silver with it and ignore everything else, thanks love your videos and thanks for your time V/R Rudy

[@markholbrook3949]

Being that this is a older video you may not see this but in the off chance you do I have a question for you or one of your experienced viewers... Is there a way to Supertune the F75??? Or is this considered Supertuning? Also why did you first set up your disc mode when to my understanding those settings dont carry over to all metal? Or is that part of this supertuning process?

[@goodenj77]

Beau, what numbers do the bullets give out on the T2 se??

[@scottbyers1910]

With a nail, in 2+ tones, shouldn't you hear the iron grunt sound, or is that only in Disc mode?

[@goodenj77]

I have been running in All Metal and then switching over to discrim to check at target? Good method or not? I have found a few bullets in my pounded fields and numbers have been all over the place! 2+ tones,99 sens, 20-30 discrimination.

[@Sapper094]

Great video, LM in the UK and use all metal quite a lot. Further to your demo regarding sounds, l find checking the metre numbers is spot on...anything between 46 and 96 dig, everything else is trash..metre is very accurate. Formby, again, you're commenting on things you're not qualified to quiry, the T2 and F75 are not identical, if you had used them both you'd know this. The T2 runs smoother, it has different disc filters to the F75. The Fisher is far 'sparkier', especially on UK ancient site

[@52969RST]

thanks!!!!!!

[@matthewedwards8820]

Does this work on the classic i dont have the bp mode how would i set the classic up

[@Helldpdigr]

Looking for a better land detctor than the AT Pro? In it's class there isn't any. For a more expensive model you can get more depth but don't confuse depth with accuracy. I have the Fisher F75 which goes deeper than my AT Pro but when it comes to small items such as gold, jewelry and iron discrimination the AT Pro is in a class of it's own.

[@starsoulorginal]

the iron nail can also bee a coin on the side

[@starsoulorginal]

have u tryed the mars tiger coil for the tf2 ? its ok better than the original for sure..tnx for the vid

[@starsoulorginal]

also to remember coins and some relic can bee turned around to sounding like a iron ..special on farmers area where the soil been worked a lot...a bullet are round..jepp i figuer out that for my selfe :-) so it get a distinkt sound no matter what..a old coin or ring relic on high heal are difffernt..cross the coil and check the id and hope and digg a lot and soon wow :-) you may find your selfe a pulltab :-)

[@2008VauxhallVectra]

i owe a Garrett AT Pro,And considering buying the Teknetics T2.but would it be worth it,because my AT Pro never let me down.

[@worldwidemetaldetecting8034]

A good tip, but im not sure how the T2 react's to hot rock! AT serie's gives a 00 which show's u it's hot rock easly with out the noise, if the T2 dosnt show a number on hot rock, u could get mixed up. u can get more depth with NEL coil's.

[@RameshRam-wg8pl]

Sir can u tel me how much depth feet t2 works

[@Rfprimm]

If I were you I would look for a cheap sovereign/excalibur on craigslist. That's what I did, I found a 10 year old sovereign, bought it for $275, and it works great on the beach. Most people probably wouldn't get a metal detector that old, but I guarantee you that the modern day sovereign is no better than the one I have. I've never had a false signal, and it discriminates iron very well.
