I was at a flyin this weekend and I ran into the guy that introduced me to Metal detecting. Years ago he owned an XLT and after hunting with him I bought the DFX which had just came out. He now owns a Tecknetics T2 and was very positive about its performance. We did a side by side comparison and frankly, he smoked my DFX. His machine was rather quiet and mine was noisy as heck as usual (I cranked it up to compete). Does anyone own the Teknetics T2 and can comment on this? Oh, and by the way, this guys' finds for this year are so far ahead of mine that it is pitiful. He is a very serious hunter and told me he estimates his total finds to be in the neighbor hood of about a quarter million dollars. Me, I've got a barber quarter and a bunch of mercury dimes...lol. Bottom line is, of course I'm thinking about changing detectors and need some advice from people that are familar with both of these. Although, to be fair, this buddy of mine also is a master at locating ideal locations...which of course it probably wouldn't really matter what detector you had.
