Hit a "Foreclosure" yard tonight....

Seeing way too many of those around these days but a sign of the times. Ok enuff on that subject on to the hunt.

I had the Omega and G2 with me so first up was the G2.... which oddly enough did not like the neighborhood EMI at all..... a bit of a surprise. Anyway back to the car I went to grab the Omega crossing my fingers that I would be able to hunt. To my surprise it handled the conditions very well. I was able to run sens at 75-80 using freq 1 to start. About half way through the hunt I rechecked and freq 3 was a tad more stable so switched to that for the remainder of the time there.
Question, Has anyone ever found freq 2 to be best? I never have, it has always been 1 or 3.

Only did the narrow strip of front yard this evening but managed a 1903 IH, 2 wheat backs, a thimble and 37 cents in clad. I will be back.

As Dave J pointed out recently, EMI can be caused by many sources and each and every detector will response differently, even of the same make and model.

where I just wasn't able to hunt with the G2. Most of the time I set it at '100' and it purrs right along. Only now and then do I need to reduce it a little to

Yup having a go to backup is nice in those rare instances where one or the other may not like the environment. Overall the G2 has been the least effected by EMI issues near powerlines for me. That said the Omega can still an effective deep hunter despite the presence of 60 cycle interference.

When I used to operate 2 Meter Amateur Radio, we called our Downton "Intermod Alley". This was due to all the interference we would get...Drove the radio nuts with static and chatter...Cities have so much radio traffic going on, it is a wonder any piece of electronic gear operates at all...You have cell stations, microwave towers, TV, Radio, GMFRS, Amateur Radio, Electric lines, Underground wires, etc...A lot for a detector to deal with, and spread all across the radio spectrum...
