Great detector easy to use. I re-detected a field that has been done many times before and nothing had been found. This time I found six coins that were all too deep for the other detectors so I would highly recommend this machine.

What a machine

searcher1984 in united kingdom , wiltshire -
I have had the teknetics t2 for about 3 weeks now . I traded in my old minelab soveriegn xs2a pro to help pay for this detector as I felt the minelab just was not getting in between the iron and I was missing the good stuff on my iron infested roman/saxon site's. Well what can I say, I have been out 3 times and found 7 hammered, 29 roman bronze coins, a saxon penny and a siliqua of jovian and lots of buttons and lead at great depth that the minelab had missed (all the finds were on or very close to iron).

Here are my settings sen 75 disc 10 tones 2+ . I am very impressed with this machine and would recommend to everyone!

Having had time to test the T2 (terminator) I add a few settings suggestions that might help you. I found a Gold coin 8" deep and my friends call me Silverman, as I always manage to find a silver coin. T2 paid for itself with a Saxon bishops silver pendant within 2 months! Keeping the Gold coin!

Teknetics T2

Andy in Bournemouth -
As a first time novice with metal detectors I read loads of reviews before I paid £475 for my T2. Never held a MD in my life! So I set the GC and settings Sens; 70 Disc 15 and tone 2+ and hit the field. I found a George V silver Florin 5 old pennys a market weight belt buckle and a timble. It is so good I found a piece of lead 2mm x 3mm at 9 inches. Money well spend, perfect machine for the UK and the novice who wants to compete with the Goldmaxx's out there. I had more consistent finds than a veteran with his Goldmaxx! (Not to mention all the rubbish I digged haha)
I am hooked!

Excellent detector, I just had tested twice on a local park here in Santiago, Chile, SA and I had found lots of coins at deeps btw 2 to 8 inches. Easy to set up, very good discrimination and everything that the factory saids is thru.

Great for UK conditions

gary in york england -
Bought T2 a Month ago having previously been using Goldmaxx mk1 and have found 4 hammered coins in 5 outings including Lizzie 3 farthings and Edward 4th half penny which are both very tiny coins. This detector doesn't seem to miss anything and I can highly recommend it. You wont be wasting your money and it is easy to set up and use and also very lightweight.

My all time favourite.

Neil in u.k -
I've been in the privileged position where I've been able to own and test some of the industries best detectors including the top models from minelab and xp. I bought the T2 after reading a positive report on one of the metal detecting forums in the uk...and I'm glad I did.

It's a very light detector that I can use all day without getting tired and I can honestly say that on my fields it has out performed any of my previous detectors. I've never had any problems with interference, I think the secret is not to "overcook" it on the sensitivity...it's sensitive even on a low setting. I read a good piece of advice by another reviewer and that was to ignore all your other detectors if you buy a t2 and just concentrate on learning the t2 for a couple of weeks....it definitely worked for me.

Don't forget that this is a personal opinion and not everybody will have the same success that I've had with the machine...every body has their own opinion of the perfect detector.But as I said earlier, in my own experience and on my fields the T2 has consistently out performed the top minelabs and xp's and that makes it my perfect machine. Well done Teknetics.

Teknectic T2

Simon in norfolk ,England -
Build quality is very poor, had it 2 days before it wont berserk. The coil kept sounding off on stubble, looks a nice machine I will give it that, sent back to dealer and got my money back, dealer got back in touch with and confirmed it was faulty. Lucky escape, since I purchased a T2, I've seen second-hand prices tumble here in the UK, I just wish more care had been put into the build quality,for the T2 really looks the part, although it looks to be put into the shadows by the F75.

I Sold My DFX

Steve in North Carolina / Coastline Metal Detectors in North Carolina -
I have only used the T2 on the beach, and I have had great success. She will not ground balance in the sand but I was still pulling quarters at 11 inches with 100% target ID. I am a Bounty Hunter Dealer and I would suggest this machine. Grant it, it has less bells and whistles than the DFX, but one must agree that this is an extremely powerful machine.

Good and Less Good

Brian in WA -
Not a bad detector. Well balanced (like me!) but with a few weaknesses. Frequent high 'pip' sounds at the end of sweeps. Target or not a target? Surely Teknetics can eliminate those awful bottle tops or at least don't let them register or silence them out. Sometimes the numbers bounce around for them (as expected), other times they do not and appear in the coin range, so a lot of digging anyway. How about an illuminated display for low light and/or poor eyesight) and color coded? Cell phones, GPS modules and a host of other gadgets have illuminated color displays these days. Example: Red dot for ferrous, Yellow for unsure, and Green for non-ferrous (coin, gold, silver etc).
Rubber covering on handle split on the second day of use and coil had to be disconnected to free an unwanted overload.
Nicely balanced machine with long battery life. Be warned. If you undo the arm rest and move it around to pack the unit for travel any sand trapped in the armrest locking plates will seriously scratch the plastic stock. Display window needs to be stronger and some sort of sand proofing is needed for the battery compartment and the speaker window, otherwise well done
