Who Is the Teknetics T2 Special Edition Best For?

The T2 Special Edition is best suited for detectorists who want advanced controls, fast target response, and flexibility across different hunting conditions.

It is particularly well suited for:

• Relic hunting

• Coin shooting

• Jewelry hunting

• Gold prospecting

• Old home sites

• Farm fields

• Iron-infested locations

• Trash-heavy parks

• Mineralized soil

• Cache hunting

• Experienced hobbyists

• Detectorists who want both a large and small DD coil

The included dual-coil setup makes this package especially versatile. Use the 11" coil when you need wider ground coverage, then switch to the 5" coil when target separation and maneuverability become more important.

13 kHz VLF Performance

The T2 Special Edition operates at 13 kHz, giving it useful sensitivity across a broad range of target types.

It is well suited for detecting:

• Coins

• Rings and jewelry

• Buttons

• Buckles

• Brass relics

• Lead relics

• Small metallic artifacts

• Gold targets

• Larger buried objects

This makes the T2 Special Edition a strong general-purpose detector for users who regularly hunt several different kinds of sites.

11" Waterproof DD Search Coil

The included 11-inch open-frame DD search coil is the primary general-purpose coil in this package.

Its larger footprint provides:

• Wider ground coverage

• Good depth potential

• Strong target separation

• Stable performance in mineralized ground

• Efficient searching in fields and open sites

The 11" DD coil is well suited for:

• Open fields

• Relic sites

• Parks

• Large yards

• Old properties

• General treasure hunting

The coil is waterproof, allowing it to be used in wet grass and shallow water.

The detector's control housing is not waterproof and should be kept dry.

5" Waterproof DD Search Coil

The included 5-inch round DD coil gives the T2 Special Edition a major advantage in difficult, target-dense locations.

Its smaller detection footprint makes it especially useful for:

• Nail-infested home sites

• Trash-heavy parks

• Old foundations

• Fence lines

• Tight spaces

• Areas with closely spaced targets

When a desirable target is located near iron or modern trash, the smaller coil can make it easier to separate the individual responses.

This makes the 5" DD an excellent companion to the larger 11" coil.

FA Fast Process

The FA Fast Process is designed for improved target separation and faster response.

This is especially useful at old sites where desirable non-ferrous targets may be located close to nails or other unwanted metal.

FA can help distinguish separate targets that may be more difficult to resolve using a slower search process.

It is particularly useful in:

• Iron-heavy sites

• Dense modern trash

• Old home sites

• Demolition areas

• Locations containing closely spaced targets

Pairing FA Fast Process with the included 5" DD coil creates a highly effective setup for difficult target separation.

Boost Process

Boost Process is an enhanced-sensitivity search process designed to strengthen the response from difficult targets.

It is particularly useful when:

• Searching for weak targets

• Hunting in relatively clean ground

• Vegetation prevents the search coil from staying close to the surface

• Additional response is useful on difficult signals

Boost Process uses a slower response than the standard faster processes, so sweep speed should be adjusted accordingly.

Cache Locating Process

The Cache Locating Process is designed for searching for larger, deeply buried metallic objects.

It uses an enhanced-sensitivity, slower-response configuration that is particularly useful when looking for:

• Large buried relics

• Containers

• Caches

• Larger metallic objects

Actual detection depth depends on the size and composition of the object, soil conditions, mineralization, coil height, and detector settings.

FASTGRAB™ Ground Balance

Mineralized soil can create unwanted signals and reduce detector stability.

The T2 Special Edition includes FASTGRAB™ computerized ground balancing, allowing the detector to quickly measure the ground and establish an appropriate ground setting.

This makes it easier to rebalance the detector when moving between areas with different soil conditions.

Manual Ground Balance

The detector also provides manual ground-balance adjustment.

Manual control can be useful when:

• Ground mineralization changes rapidly

• FASTGRAB requires additional fine-tuning

• Hunting difficult mineralized soil

• Gold prospecting

• Precise control over ground response is important

Having both FASTGRAB and manual adjustment gives users a useful combination of quick setup and advanced control.

FeTone® Adjustable Iron Audio

The T2 Special Edition includes FeTone® adjustable iron audio.

Instead of completely eliminating iron, users can control how prominently ferrous targets are heard.

This can be especially valuable at older sites where iron provides useful information about the location and density of historical activity.

FeTone can help reduce audio fatigue while still preserving valuable target information.

Bottle Cap Mode

Steel bottle caps can sometimes produce deceptively good signals.

The T2 Special Edition includes Bottle Cap Mode, which modifies the audio response to help identify these troublesome targets.

This can be particularly useful in:

• Parks

• Picnic areas

• Fairgrounds

• Sports fields

• Recreation areas

• Other modern trash-heavy locations

0–99 Numeric Target ID

The T2 Special Edition uses a 0–99 numeric Target ID system.

The displayed number gives an indication of the probable conductivity of the detected target.

Target ID should be evaluated together with:

• Audio response

• Signal repeatability

• Target depth

• Ground conditions

• Target orientation

• Nearby metal

No visual Target ID system can identify every target with certainty, but consistent readings can provide valuable information before digging.

All Metal Mode

All Metal Mode is designed for detectorists who want to hear every metal target beneath the search coil.

This mode can be useful for:

• Relic hunting

• Gold prospecting

• Searching cleaner ground

• Weak or difficult targets

• Situations where maximum target information is more important than rejection

Discrimination Mode

Discrimination Mode allows unwanted targets to be reduced or rejected.

This is particularly useful when searching locations containing:

• Nails

• Foil

• Bottle caps

• Modern trash

• Other unwanted metallic objects

The T2 Special Edition's multiple audio processes provide additional control over how accepted and rejected targets are presented.

Pinpoint Mode

After locating a target, use the trigger-actuated Pinpoint function to determine its center.

Pinpoint Mode helps narrow the target location and provides depth information to make recovery faster and more precise.

Ground Mineralization Information

The T2 Special Edition provides visual information about the amount of magnetic mineralization present in the soil.

This can help experienced users determine when they may need to adjust:

• Ground balance

• Sensitivity

• Search technique

• Coil selection

Ground information is particularly valuable when moving between sites with different mineral content.

Frequency Shift

Electromagnetic interference can cause false signals and unstable operation.

The T2 Special Edition provides frequency shifting, allowing the operating frequency to be moved slightly when interference is encountered.

This can be useful around:

• Other metal detectors

• Power lines

• Electrical equipment

• Communication equipment

• Urban environments
