    Omega food for thought from Dave J. & Tom D. :teknetics:

    Ran across a post by Dave Johnson and another by Tom Dankowski (NasaTom) that focused on the Omega and thought they would be interesting for those that haven't already seen them. First up is a review from Tom, first using the stock coil, then when he tested it with the 11" DD coil: Tom's...

    Omega sniffs out some silver :teknetics:

    Hunted a park with the East Bay Boys and managed to find a few silvers from our last two trips there: Also a toasted old transit token and a WWI GS Army button: Some marbles: And the ugliest wheatbacks you ever saw...that one on the right is my nominee for ugliest wheatback of the year...

    Omega at hunted out site :thumbup:

    I have a spot that I've been hunting for a while. I first hit it with my F70 and Sovereign, and aside from a few shallow wheatbacks, I didn't find anything of interest. Then I picked up a CZ70 and it was like virgin territory. My first couple of hunts there I got several barber dimes, mercs...

    Looking for a deal on a new or used 5" coil (preferably used, cash is short :thumbdown:) for the Teknetics Greek series of detectors. Please PM me with info if you have one available. Thanks! Brian

    Silver, gold, and what not ... or a Lil SF East Bay Demo Action

    Unfortunately, very little action :rofl: Been hunting some very stingy east bay demo sites over the past month with the east bay boys. One of them I thought for sure was going to be great, as it had been covered with asphalt since around the 1940's and dated back to around the 1870's. I had...

    :pulltab: on the F75 LTD in BP mode :rage:

    Many, many times when I'm turf hunting in BP mode I'll get a GREAT sounding dime or quarter signal, sometimes deep (8"+), sometimes not, and it'll turn out to be a :pulltab: :ranting: I'm not really seeing a particular pattern, it can be the newer square tabs, complete round tabs, broken beaver...

    Strange Days Indeed :detecting:

    Got out to GGP yesterday to hunt with a buddy, and in between downpours, we managed to do a little detecting. Found a little ivy scrape and worked it over. I started finding foreign coins, not particularly old, but scattered all over the place and at different depths :think: Then I found a...

    Omega Thoughts

    I have so many detectors right now, I need to thin out the herd, but I want to keep the best of the best, so I've been revisiting some of them I haven't used in a while to see if they'll make the cut or not. I bought the Omega last fall, then a few weeks later got the F75 LTD. Initially I only...

    Omega & CZ-70 Finds from Alameda & San Francisco :detecting:

    I haven't been getting out much lately as I've been trying to find a new job, not a good time to be looking for a job in my field :rage: At any rate, I managed to get out to Alameda last Saturday to hit a stingy spot with my Teknetics Omega. I was there for about three hours and managed to...

    Omega SIGNAL strength indicator :shrug:

    The manual states that the SIGNAL strength indicator is a real time depth meter, but doesn't give any clues as to the gauge of the depth in relation to the meter, all it states is: When using the detector in the motion DISCRIMINATION mode, the relative depth of an object is displayed in the...

    Omega Ground Balancing - disc or AM difference? :detecting:

    My Omega's been sitting in the garage since I got my F75 LTD (weeks after I got the O8), so it never got a fair shake. I've decided to let the LTD sit in the garage for a while and put some time on the O8 + 11" DD. One question I had, I see references to doing the fast grab GB in both disc and...

    Give me an hour and I give you . . .

    There's a park that dates to the 1870's I've been hunting and have pulled many older coins from it. Interestingly I've only found one small 20' x 40' area that's productive (I think the rest of the park has been changed). Three trips ago there I thought it was done for silver, as it had been...

    Hunting Spanish Mission Era sites - First Phoenix Buttons :detecting:

    A friend invited me to hunt some of his Spanish mission era sites. For all intent purposes the earliest California European settlements were from the Spanish from about 1770-1820. These sites are few and far between, and given that the entire non-Indian population in California during this era...

    Sunray FZ12 coil question :shrug:

    I had a dealer tell me that the Sunray 12.5" FZ12 CZ coil was really only covering about 5" of ground at a time, because the center of the coil was the receive coil and it's only around 5" in diameter, even though the outer diameter of the coil, which he said is the transmit coil, is 12.5"...

    Didn't quite make it - Silver #47

    This is a bit late as I've been busy hunting some Spanish era sites, more to follow from that endeavor :detecting: Last Tuesday was my last day to make my stretch goal of 50 silver coins between club meetings, and I thought I'd try a new spot that day. It was an old observation tower built in...

    I'll take one for the team - Anyone have a Kellyco coupon :biggrin:

    After reading various recent field test reports by Bryce and others, and seeing first hand on friends ETracs how well the SEF coils are doing on the Explorer series machines (doing much better then the ProCoils which opened up a lot of sites when they first came out), I've decided to take one...

    Although it's raining, the silver is down to a trickle :detecting:

    Didn't get to hunt much last week as I hunted with Jim (time4me) at HMB last Tuesday and home down with something funky (not from Jim :rofl: ), so I was down until I decided I couldn't stand being in the house any longer and got out for a few hours Friday afternoon, and Saturday, and for a bit...

    I DID IT :super: Silver #38 - #41 since 3/9/10

    Since our last MD club meeting on March 8th, I've been on a bit of a silver streak, so I set a personal goal to find forty silver coins by the next club meeting on 4/13/10. I wasn't able to get out as much as I'd hoped this past week (darn rain and family holidays :drinking: ), but I managed...

    F75 LTD - How to co-exist when hunting next to an Etrac or Explorer :confused:

    I frequently hunt with friends that have Etracs, and occasionally Explorers. Yesterday was a frustrating experience after my buddies Etrac jammed by LTD. I would walk over a 2" deep merc and not hear it, and here he was cleaning up after we just spent an hour busting our azz clearing a...

    I went NUTS today for BIG SILVER :drinking:

    Mark and I were back at it today busting our collective arse to remove some pretty hefty timber to make way for some coil action at the lost camp. After an hour or so we were ready to hit the spot....little did I know that today the Etrac was going to silence my F75 :rage: Yep, whatever...
