Thanks Guys .. my first detector was a T2+ package .. which was an upgrade from what I was thinking of starting out with .. but I won on a scratch off ticket which paid for that package .. I really enjoy that machine, but there are places where the emi won't allow me to hunt .. everything else has been paid for by finds .. I have a T2se with the stock coil, the 5 inch coil, a nel sharpshooter (which is usually on the machine), and a 13 inch ultimate .. a pair of GG platinum headphones .. I bought a simplex+ to use in the water .. which needed a carbon lower shaft and the sp22 coil, and a set of wired waterproof notka headphones .. it came with the v2.78 which I didn't care for and have now uploaded the v2.77 .. this is now a fairly decent water machine .. I use a ckg 'tank' model scoop .. just won a 340 vanquish .. tekpoint pinpointer.
I hunt the southern teir and fingerlakes in NY .. I started out mostly searching for rings .. but have been finding many old coins .. just started this past month or so in the water which I enjoy much more than land hunting .. my oldest coin is a 1834 large cent, which was one of my goals for this year .. the other goal being a 1700s coin, yet to be dug .. I will post some photos as they come
