Had about an hour last night before my grandsons baseball game so went to the park i hunt with my Omega.Had it grounf balanced at 54 sensitivity at 80 and was in disc mode with notching nickles back in since the area i was hunting is filled with junk.I have hunted this park hard for two months with the
Omega mostly with the std 10inch elliptical coil and some with the 11 inch dd and very little with the 5inch that Monte and others brag about.In the two months i have hunted the park. I would guess i have taken out around 150 to 200 clad coins but no silver.Yes it has been frustrating finding all the clad and some older wheat pennies but no silver with the Omega but in my heart i knew i was not running the coil over silver or was being masked by other targets there.As hard as the Omega hits on dimes and other coins i knew if i hit silver it would let me know.I decided before i left home to change to the 5inch coil with all the trash in this certain area and thinking wouldnt it be something if this little coil actually found my first silver coin with the Omega.I was heading back to the Jeep after finding a few wheat pennies and a few dimes and trash of course lol and was in a small area i had hit very hard with the std coil and have taken many coins out of this one area when the five inch gives me that 4th tone ping you love to hear.Checked it every way and same sound and id was around 89 i think lol and pinpointed at 5 to six inches.Dug the plug, target was still in the hole had to dig a little deeper and there it was a 1943 silver quarter as shiny as the day it went in the ground.Of all the time i have spent at that park with the two larger coils and finding many coins that small coil ends up finding me my first silver coin with the Omega.Did i miss this coin with the std coil maybe i did or maybe it was masked with other junk im not sure but i have hunted that one area very hard and the 5inch wins the silver first find lol....Guess it shows how versital the Omega three coil pkg can be,,Have a great summer eeveryone......Markmac
