    Anybody still using an Omega 8500?

    I've had an Omega for a few years and love it. One of my all time favorite detectors. Had a couple, a Version 5 and most recently a Version 4 which I actually like better. I remember being very excited when the 8500 came out, but I couldn't afford one. But now the pricing is much more...

    Do I have a HOT Omega 8000 or a dud T2 Classic?

    Just curious what your opinions are on my main two machines. I think my T2 may be lacking a little in the depth department. Just never seemed to be up to par with my new to me Omega. I had a version 5 Omega a couple years ago, but this one is a version 4 and seems to be noticeably deeper. I done...

    I need to get down to ONE detector. Help me pick which Tesoro to keep..

    So I need to thin down my detector arsenal, and I'm going to keep just one for all my hunting. I'm familiar with all these machines, and have a good bit of hours on them. So I have a pretty good idea of what is good at what, just wanted to see what you guys would do in my shoes. My hunting...

    Opinion on performance of my Vaquero?

    I recently acquired a used Vaquero, as new. It's the new black one with the 11x8 coil. I'd like to ask your opinions as to whether I should send it back to be checked out. With the GB set 1/4 turn negative, sens on 10, threshold at a steady hum (3 o'clock), Disc low as possible, outdoors in...

    How about comparing the Outlaw to the Bandido II µMax?

    Now that the Outlaw has been out a while, and several of you guys are using them, how about comparing it with the older Bandido II µMax that it shares it's roots with? I searched around on various sites, but couldn't find any decent complete info on the two. Basically I'm just wondering if I'd...

    Which coil for a Bandido II Umax, for trashy spots?

    So I have been hitting a few new very trashy areas in an old part of town. I'm detecting empty lots where old houses were demolished a few years ago. I'm finding the most interesting stuff between where the front porch was, and the sidewalk. My Bandido is doing great ignoring the nails and bits...

    Help ID this lead trinket

    Found this in a median in the middle of the street. Looks to be a lead pendant of some sort. says "363 A" on one side, and "SAY" or "SRY" or something on the other. The lettered side looks to have had a ferrous wire loop folded into it at one point.It was about 6 inches deep, and in a spot where...

    Found an interesting confederate reunion badge...

    Me and a friend were detecting an old CCC camp this past weekend and I came across this. It's a souvenir badge from a United Confederate Veterans reunion held in Montgomery, AL on June 2-5 1931. (At least that's what the badge says..haha) I believe there was a separate piece attached to the top...

    So....I traded my Tejon for a Bandido 2....

    And I am in love! This is THE detector to have if you are a Tesoro fan. I really liked my Tejon and my Silver Micromax, but this thing is the cat's meow for most of my general detecting duties. It runs stable and quiet, the "No-Motion All Metal" with the "Retune" switch makes pinpointing...

    Tesoro 8.5" Widescan coil? Anybody tried one?

    I've been looking around for an elliptical widescan coil for my Tejon, when I came across the 8.5" Widescan round coil. I can't find any info online about it, so was hoping maybe one of you have used one. I did however find a review on the 11" Round Widescan for the Silver uMax and it seemed...

    Recommend which DD coil for my Omega?

    Hey guys, I just bought myself a used Omega to play with, and it has the stock 10 inch concentric coil. After a few coin and relic hunts I realized I don't seem to be getting the depth that others are achieving. However, here in North Alabama our soil is red clay and seems to give most all...
