It also depends on your hearing as well :g58: some detectors are irritating to some users, if your hard of hearing like me? a machine that as a crisp two way signal can help. The minelabs are brilliant machines, but the explorer range take some getting use to by a beginner, they whistle and squeak a... |

I have had pro on my computer for ages but it was a free download, and no attempt to charge me at all at a later date  I had them both on until recently the normal google earth just vanished off my desktop a couple of weeks back  |

Good write up Dave - is the T2 much heavier than the Deus, having never used one. I know one chap at our club that has gone back to a T2 after having a Deus but not sure if he is actually finding any more than he did with his Deus, I will ask him next time I see him?

Great article  When I started metal detecting I never dreamt I would be handing over treasure items to the museum  But I have on numerous occasions, I was happy just finding Victorian pennies  and my original dream was to find a 1933 penny  |
