I just wana say that am a beginner at this and been watching alot of vids here to just understand how to set up this and what some stuff on it means .. ur the beeessst of them , thaank u so much anyway
Great work Jay! First Texas is a great company. Brad has been Killing it with his F75. I've used it a few times. Congrats on your oldest coin! That's freckling awesome! I'm in the mood for a farthing.
Enjoyed the review Jay. I've never used anything like that machine before, I've always used Garrett or Whites. It did pull some nice relics from the soil.
Excellent review on this machine. I’ve just ordered myself one. Wanted to ask about the notch settings. I live in the UK London & there’s no farms around here, just parks mostly with lots of trash. What notch setting would you recommend so I can cancel out all the noise? I’m a coin hunger mostly so that’s what I’d be after most when using this machine. Thanks again👍🏼
What I would do is hunt for a while with nothing notched out. After you learn what is what for signal you could start notching out what you do not want to hear. I don't notch out anything because I've dug jewelry that sounds like foil, gum wrappers, ring pulls and can tabs, all between 40-70 so it's hard for me to say.
Just to clarify the volume: 1-9 is volume control for both high and low tones 10 is max volume high tone and no low tone 11-19 adjusts low tone only with high tone staying at max 20 is max low and high tone Hope this helps clear things up
Is the G2 a better detector than the T2? I have the T2+ & love it so just checking which is supposed to be better? I much prefer the setup on my T2+ but still want to know which is supposed to be better.I usually notch out Iron because I am usually looking for Coins & Jewelry but I do sometimes search for Relics then I hunt in All Metal mode with no discrimination.Thanks much.
Great question. I've never used the T2 but know folks who do and swear by it. Same goes for the G2 and plus. If I'm making an educated guess I'd say they're dead even but still different. They operate at different frequencies so what they "see" in different spectrums and that can be good or bad depending on your conditions. If that makes sense???
Excellent tips on using this machine! Just curious. I know this thing hits low conductors well because of it's higher freq. But how does it do on deep silver? I'm not much of a relic hunter but do hit the parks & old house sites lookin for silver. I luv the features on this machine but unsure if it would have the depth I need.
It's fantastic on high signals too, head to head with an AT Pro 3 years ago and my Fisher (same machine/freq) hit harder and more accurately on clad and coppers. Super stable too. A friend had the XP Deus and hit on a deeeeep silver 2 reale that was seriously 14 inches down and my Fisher got a tiny squeak.
A great live review.I saw a nugget hunter get a weird signal like you got.He used a big old minelab,tones only detector.The tones sounded off a solid iron signal,but it didn't sound right to him so he dug it.Turned out to be a 16oz gold nugget! He called it a "Reverse Signal". Happy Holidays Eric
Nice vid, I got a T2 and a BH platinum, and the Platinum does the reverse beep like you spoke of. High numbers and a funky sounding lower beep... dig it all for sure
I swing a Whites Eagle 2 sl. This machine was made in 1992. I've considered a new detector but continually out-hunt my friends with their new technology. It is a deep sliver magnet! The pinpoint and VDI are dead on. I pulled an 1854 Seated Quarter at 10 inches in a place where my huntin bros have hit many times. I would like an AT pro for water. Do you have an opinion on AT pro vs AT gold? HH, love the vids and good luck this year - Willie
I've tried the AT Gold and like it very much, never tried the pro but I know lots of people love them. I personally like the bigger VDI, and I'm used to the language of MG fisher and this G2+.
Damn fine video about a damn fine 19 kHz FTP MD. Almost 7 years in production now, yet still pulling out tiny silver hammered coins for me amongst terribly iron nail infested ground. Hopefully FTP up-date the platform to make it fully waterproof, powered by a Lithium ion, on-board, rechargeable battery, on a light-weight collapsible carbon fibre 'spine', with new style stem locks, and a F75 styley arm cup, that can be bent to fit. Not much of an ask FT.
@@jaymoge Hopefully, a line of Fully Submersible, Computer Up-gradable, Continuous Multi-Frequency Metal Detectors; With the afore mentioned 'Spine' up-grades. Because before long, there will be 'Smart Phones' that 'Clip On' to stems providing 'Wireless' options. FTP need to 'Get on it' now, IMHO man.
Good stuff, JayMo! Love my Fisher machines - especially in the iron. Excellent job on the video - very informative! Been thinking about a G2 or F11. HH!
+Tarheel Diggin' Thanks buddy, I've never played with the new Fs (11, 22, and 44) but would love to try them out. The G2 is a very capable machine for sure but i'm curious about the "weather proof" part of the 11, 22 and 44s.
+NH treasurehunter thanks. it is a bit confusing which way to go. i love the f2. its easy and i have found alot of great stuff. good sites to hunt where i love.. but I definitely want to upgrade i know im missing good deep targets that it cannot hit. should i visit any shops? i only know of one in plaistow nh.
+Bullseye65 I don't like shops, they want you to buy the most expensive one. if your staying with Fishers I'd say check out the new F series, 11, 22 and 44. weatherproof to so your good in the rain. youtube is your research friend.
14:11 I use the g2, and you do get a kind of a 6th sense, with the tones, there's a 2 tone signal that i get, which at first you think is 2 targets but it turns out to be a rusting 1p coin. Had it loads of times.........Just wish I had the same luck with golds, thanks for the video.
NH treasurehunter Ended up with a T2se. But having hard time in a high trash area. I know couns are there, but all i digging is aluminum on high 80 signals. Big learn curve for me. Open to all suggestions.
Mike Reynolds if you have the DD coil they like to move at a decent speed, to slow and they don't separate well, too fast and you'll mius stuff. once you clear out all the trash you'll please the detecting God's and be rewarded, don't give up.
jaymo... I have a fisher f2... its my starter detector.. my bro in law just got a tech T2 ... I we hunt together alot I had no idea the two were similar. do you think me jumping to a garrett would differentiate our finds a bit? his goes deeper but seems we are always finding the same things... I have been wanting an at pro so I can shallow lake hunt.. but am on the fence as to what direction to go... any suggestions?
You can only find what's there. changing brands means starting from scratch learning a new machine. I like the big display and it's a bit lighter too. but not waterproof.
+NH treasure hunter thanks for the suggestion... im def looking to upgrade to hit deeper i will try to borrow first but do you have any suggestions as a fisher guy where to go.. f5? jump to technetics???
Great review Jay. I have an ATPro that I like a lot. If you were going to try and convince me to jump ship what would you say the the feature that the G2+ has that the ATPro doesn't have? I realize that detectors are just the same as cars that one you start with a manufacturer you tend to stay with it. Kind a like Ford vs Chevy. Love the camo Santa hat. I hope Santa brings you everything you want so have a Merry Christmas and may your pouch be overflowing with silver and gold in 2016!
I'd have to say the features this G2+ has over the AT PRO are; larger VDI display, 19kHz vs 15 on the pro (better on smaller targets) and back light. the AT Pro is waterproof tho. thanks for watching buddy.
+NH treasurehunter thanks for the info. I will have to check it out a little more. For me lighter is a major feature. I don't have that great of a back and if lighter I may be able to get a few more hours in :) Appreciate it my friend.
+NH treasurehunter I do too. I got to play with Al-Fu's AT when I was visiting there. After swinging the Deus the balance felt strange. Then I got to play with Matt Perdue's Fisher (can't remember if it was the F44 or F77) and liked the balance on that one. The controls were pretty easy too. After watching this one, I think I may be able to help out my friend who has a BH Platinum. Somewhat similar controls as that Teknetics. Thanks!
so are you going to upgrade to the g2+ f 19 and keep the gold bugpro witch on do you like the best as you know i have the gb and a few other detector and the gb is my go tow detector
out of all the detectors the gold bugpro has got me some of my best find but if the c2+ or the f19 is a better up grade then i might get one thanks for all the cool video you do
+NH treasurehunter my dream machine is the F19 but I can't justify the cost for options. still love my GBP but if I was shopping the g2+ and F19 would be tops on my list.
has anyone ever used the TX850? I've read on blog articles, they say that the TX850 is a clone from Tecnetics G2 in this video ... and this TX850, also uses a clone coil from the Garrett coil ... the question is, has anyone ever used this TX850?
Hi, I'm the corn farmer. I'm sorry. I planted the corn too tight. I am sorry. But, it won't happen again! To express my remorse, I let you drive my tractor. A lap around the corn field. I hope you visit my corn field again soon! Love, your farmer.
@@stevew585 yes and no, t2 has a lower frequency, 13 kHz where the G2 is 19kHz so the G2 has faster recovery speed in trashy areas but loses maybe a fraction of an inch in depth. Both great machines it just depends on what you like
In looks yes but the tx850 is a Chinese reverse engineering piece of poopoo in my honest opinion. It doesn't perform like a teknetics or Fisher. Sorry.
I just wana say that am a beginner at this and been watching alot of vids here to just understand how to set up this and what some stuff on it means .. ur the beeessst of them , thaank u so much anyway
Thanks a lot, hope you never find what you're looking for, just keep looking.
One od the best review, thanks a lot! 👍
Thanks, one of my favorite machines too.

thank GB. I do like this machine a lot, I already speak it's language so it's an easy step up from the gold bug pro.
Waz up my diggas ? ......... funniest thing I've heard in a while
Mike Reynolds thanks buddy.
Enjoyed the review Jay. I've never used anything like that machine before, I've always used Garrett or Whites. It did pull some nice relics from the soil.

Just to clarify the volume:
1-9 is volume control for both high and low tones
10 is max volume high tone and no low tone
11-19 adjusts low tone only with high tone staying at max
20 is max low and high tone

All hale team First Texas...
Great review, It reminds me a lot of the fisher F2 i started out detecting with, I also liked the public service announcement LOL.
Thanks buddy. I've never used the F2 but I did play with an F4 for an hour....
I really enjoyed this test and review. Really opened my eyes to teknetics products! Ty Jay-Mo :)
Thanks buddy. they're no longer a cheap Fisher knock off, well they were never a knock off but they used to be more inferior to fisher.
On volume 1-10 is high tones no iron will be heard, 11-20 is iron audio. 13 is a good # you still can hear iron but it is low and not irritating.
Great point. Thanks for the info.
That was a great test video... you showed how well you know those machines.. anyhow keep up the great work and as always LFOD
Good review Jay Mo . Didn't realise it was an F19 variant . Not used one but have had a go of the F19 . Happy Hunting buddy .
Thanks ACMD. Great machine.

Yeah Dave, ya really get to know it well
great job Jay mo merry Christmas my friend hope 2016 is better yet
thank you Harold.
If you choose NOT to use the earphones on a hot day...can the volume be adjusted to low? (I don't want any extra attention on the beach.) :) thanks
the same audio runs the speaker or headphones so I think you answer is yes.
Excellent review Jay Mo!
Thanks Chuck.
love the advice to the corn planters of the world
av got a old cscope 750dd as new my grandad brught it in the 80s. and it works realy well my kids youse it. i use the garratt ace 250
Nigel Upchurch I've heard good things about the cscope detectors.
Nice Jay, next time I'm in NH we will have to get together for a good ole fashion rag chew..
Jaffrey NH..I swing a Compass Pro for now.
towner7 sounds cool. I've heard good stuff about compass detectors.
Nice video
Looking for a good coin machine ....would you still recommend the G2+ . I know there's been a lot of others in that price range and even less. thx
Mike Reynolds absolutely, new technologies tend to have bugs and later versions are better so the G2 is well developed.
NH treasurehunter Ended up with a T2se. But having hard time in a high trash area. I know couns are there, but all i digging is aluminum on high 80 signals. Big learn curve for me. Open to all suggestions.

Thanks for the encouragement. It did come with an unused 5" coil. Would that be better in the high trash?
yes, won't get as deep but it'll get threw trash better.
Good job Jay...Swing, Peeb, Dig!
thank you sir.

its a old detectore butt it works realy well for a 30 year old machain
I believe the G2+ was released in 2015 4 years ago.
Is it as good as the T2?
Depends on your school of thought, the t2 runs at a different frequency and is more like the f75. Pretty much the same features though.
@@jaymoge Both machines with standard coils i'm guessing the T2 will be deeper on larger coins? The T2 is a hell of a machine though, tried n' tested.

Hi I want metal detector pls I'm prum the Philippines 😊
There's detecting channels on UA-cam from the Philippines, I'm not sure where to buy one there, I'm in the states.
I can't take the noises that machine make. Reminds me of my ex,wife voice. Same nails on the black board butt pucker upper. 😫
