Omega clad stab! :teknetics:

[jim tn]

Fired up my Omega this afternoon to mainly try and get re-aquainted with this one. Went to a couple of elementary school yards with small wood chip lots that my last Omega went bonkers at both of them. The first one was the worse of the two and couldn't run the sen. past 55 until heavy emi chatter took over. However, with my last Omega I couldn't get past 40 sen. and that was pushing it. This tot lot is situated within 10 feet of one side of the school building and I suspect all the electrical stuff is located just inside this wall.

The second chip lot is out a ways from the school and was usually able to run 65-70 sen. with my old Omega. Today, if I would have wanted to, I could have run sen. max. So, this latest model is much better handling emi then my earlier one was.

All in all, the two wood chip lots yielded about 2 dozen coins, the 925 marked Religious medal and the small sterling ring along with the 2 pieces of junk ear rings.

At the second school I decided to pop shallow clad and cents using my screw driver and popping nothing deeper then I could locate right off with my Pro pin pointer. Our ground now is bone dry. Anyway, in short order I recovered about 50 coins. In total from the chip lots and ground coin popping I recovered 13 quarters, 31 dimes, 14 nickels and 18, mostly high tone, cents for a total of 76 coins for $7.23 in battery money. Or, about 2 gallons of gas. Oh, the little green salamander was just soaking up the sun when I spotted him, so I decided to let him rest in a shady spot....my coin trash apron. I had on the 10" concentric. HH jim tn

Jim that's a lot of clad and it's always nice to find some silver. With all this dry hard Summertime ground I may have to learn how to pop coins with a screwdriver.

I got rid of my old Omega because of EMI issues. It worked great at certain sites.

I'm a little disappointed to hear that the new ones aren't a whole lot better. Just some better.

Hi Jim, great hunt and very interesting to hear your assessment of the new Omega. I know you had your first one for a good number of years, and that you were very well acquainted with it...I still have mine (4 1/2 years now), and have worked out ways to get rid of some EM interference...I'm not that worried about it (EMI) and find I can still detect where I want to, but it's good to know that First Texas have addressed the issue to some degree...thank you for the post.

The one spot, Tab, was a modern school and it has the worse emi of any spot I have ever hunted. Being modern, though, one doesn't need much sen. anyway. That E Parkway stretch is another really bad spot and when conditions get better, tic's and ground, I want to see what it does there. Find that genie and do a "chest rub" for some rain. It is getting rough out there. HH jim tn

It's awfully dry. I hope I don't rub it all off. I found a genie today that was near the the spot where I found the gold ring yesterday.
