but they subsided about 8a and checking the weather map, it looked like maybe a small window so I headed to the woods. Got in 2 1/2 hours before it started to mist. Stayed fairly close to the parking area and worked along and beside another road. Not many targets, but did manage a 42 Washington quarter, toasted Accutron watch face and a neat Match Box car for my dug car collection. Hadn't seen one like that before. This morning I put the 10" DD coil on the Omega for covering a little more area. Its not the deepest coil for the Omega, but it does separate real well. I, however, have no use for the extra long coil wire it has. Takes about 5 minutes to wrap the wire. At least it seems like it. 99, 1 and d3. HH jim tn
