    Omega 8000

    Can any of you guys that own an Omega run some air test on a dime, penny, nickel, and quarter or at a minimum just a dime and quarter? I am looking at either purchasing an Omega or F70 in the next few weeks. I know the F70 is deep, but am wondering about depth on the Omega. I mostly hunt...

    F2 for a 8 year old boy?

    My 8 year old is a wrestler and after every long wrestling season we buy him a gift. His season starts in October and it just ended yesterday at the state regionals. He finished 4th place and if it were not for one mistake he would have finished 2nd and went to state. Oh well, he wrested his...

    Tested another detector

    I had the chance to test a Whites M6 the other day. At least air test with a very experienced user and dealer of them. I was kinda of disappointed in the air test result on coins. My Silver uMax can match it or slightly beat it on all coins in an air test. The one thing I can say that was...

    Gonna try a F70

    After doing tons of research and reading your forum, I think it's time to try the F70. I have read enough great stuff from you guys that I could probably run one right now. I am gonna wait until a little closer to spring to buy it. I want depth with the ability to tell by tones or VDI with...

    Xterra Bummer

    There are no metal detector dealers near me. Today I was finishing a class early about three hours from home. Got out of class and used that extra time to travel about another 45 minutes out of the way to go visit a dealer that handled minelab and had a store front. What a bummer. I had...

    Xterra Question

    Quick question for you Xterra guys. If you put a pulltab, nail, or bottle cap on top of a 1-2 inch wide book and put a penny or dime below the book, directly below one of the three items I mentioned, will get a high tone hit on the coin? Okay atomicscott I know you are going to read this, and...

    Are other detectors deeper than Tesoro?

    Read the article below. It seems that VLF has gone about as far as it can go. More transmit power is not the answer. Sensitive recievers are about the only place gains are made it seems and it comes at the price of boarderline unstable and more EMI prone detectors. Notice in the last...

    RG 1000 question

    I have been looking at videos and reading what little I could find on the RG 1000. My question is when hunting in disc mode can the disc eliminate pulltabs and bottlecaps and still get pennies, dimes, quarters? Everything I see on this detector rants about the two tone ferrous rejection but...

    Keeping your Tesoro from getting stolen

    Somebody told me today that if you leave your Tesoro in your vehicle and don't want it to get stolen you can put it in a Garrett detector bag and nobody would steal it! Thought that was funny!

    Silver Umax Scores Some Clad

    Was at park tonight in the rain and coverd the control housing with a bag. I scored a bunch of clad and was happy with the hunt. Problem is I keep finding 1965 Quarters and those pesky 1964 silvers keep eluding me. I have about a dozen 1965's now! Guess I just gotta keep at it and get the...

    Swimmers Itch

    I spent about 2 hours in a local lake this weekend, found 1 zinc penny and the usual junk, and ended up getting swimmers itch. What a bummer, this crap itches like crazy and leaves red welts all over you body from the parasite. I just found out my next target lake is really bad for getting it...

    Last Weekends Silver Find

    Went out to a really old park and found this silver beauty amongst the thickest trash I have ever hunted. The detector of choice was the Tesoro Silver uMax that disc'ed out the trash and cherry picked the coins. This was my first silver with this new detector.

    Silver Umax Scores!

    My first silver find with the Silver uMax. This was found in a very trashy area of an old park. I had disc. set between pulltab and zinc penny with sensitivity in the red. The area was so trashy I could not go more than 2 inches in any direction without getting pops and clicks from the disc...

    Two Rings in One Scoop

    Took the Tiger Shark out to the river and got a good hit about 5 minutes in. Took a scoop and got two rings in one scoop. The first one was shiny and looked to be 1 karat or larger diamond. The other one was really old with an older green stone. Put them in my pouch and kept hunting. Found...

    Eurotek Pro Questions

    Dam you guys, I can't take it anymore reading your post about this inexpensive little wonder. First off has anyone done an air test on clad dimes, nickels, pennies, and quarters? The results of this would really interest me. I want to get one but am wondering on coil choice. I have mild...

    Thougjhts on the M6 and depth

    I currently own a Tesor Silver uMax for land and a Tesoro Tiger Shark for fresh water. Both of the machines are great machines, but I want to get a deeper land machine. I like the Vaquero and it's price but am also interested in the M6. I hunt mild soil and this would be used for coins and...

    Ran into the Parks and Rec Department while hunting

    Early this morning just after sunrise I was on a beach with the Tiger detecting. I saw something move behind me and turned around to see a deer coming toward me. I ignored it and kept detecting. Glanced over my shoulder once in awhile and the deer kept coming closer, just standing there...

    Silver Umax Target Separation

    I just got back from a 3 hour hunt in a park. This Silver just continues to amaze me at how well it can separate a target amongst tons of trash. I was running with disc just above zinc and the sensitivity in the red. In the real trashy areas you get pops and clicks from the disc. circuit...

    Skunked with the Tiger Shark

    Went to a county park beach on friday night and hit the water. All I found was rusty nails. Someone has hunted this spot out bone dry. Usually I find a ton of bottlecaps. Not a one. This place was picked clean. I grabbed the Silver uMax and hit the adjoining park and down from the beach I...
