Anyone here ever use a two box like those made by Garret? I had one for a couple years but all I ever found was surface junk. Nothing deep.

Steve, Look at these reports. One id on the Garrett and the other is on the Whites TM-808. Check out the depth on 2-boxes in these reports. Also you can call Dan if you want and ask questions on his field test. His number is in the back. I use the TF-900 by Discovery. But you have to use the best detector suited for the area you are hunting.

If you were going to try and hunt meteorites in a known strewnfield- which detector would you use? It's Iowa farmalnd so it's not mineralized.

If it's not mineralized then the 2-box would easy to handle covering a large grid. You just have to watch the sensitivity on these machines. If you walk and hear a sound everytime you take a step you need to back off a bit. Now that's with the unit ground balanced. I run it as hot as I can without too much interference. Every detector has good and bad points. But if the 2 box is used correctly you can reach some deep targets, if you can hear them.

Good luck hunting,

Steve I use the Discovery TF-900. Discover made the Whites TM-808 for years until White went on their own. But both detectors are about the same. Some told me the Discover goes deeper, but I never cheked that out. If I can help you let me know.

Have any body found depth cache using TF-900 on a beach or near any seaside?
will water or seawater not affected to the depth cache (12ft)on this place?do this
machine can discriminate small nails and concentrate only on big cache?thanks for
post.

Hi Joe, I'm sure someone has found cache using the 2-box type detectors. But I don't think anyone would say anything here. "The Treasure-Finder 900 Automatic VLF unit is the only one of the kind capable of maximum depths while ignoring the effects of ground minerals." I do know that 8-10 small iron balls about the size of golf balls have been recovered at a depth of 13ft using the TM-808 and the Arc-Geo logger. This is measured depth.

As far as salts and the beach I never tested the unit on a beach. But if I get a chance I will. About the small targets, yes so the manual claims and from test I have done. But in the cave mode, the detector acts like discrimination to small iron and still pick up non-ferrous targets. I have tested and found this to be true. The unit is suppose to detect a quart size and up.
