Short hunt yields my 99th silver coin for the year.

Was able to squeeze in a two hour hunt today with the Omega after waiting for the garage door repairman to show up and install a new spring. The spring broke early this morning when my wife and I were heading out for the gym. Selected one of our cities oldest parks, which has seen countless detectors on it since the 60's, but with some slow careful searching will still give up a goodie now and then. I actually ventured off onto a corner of the park nearby a par 3 golf course and ended up with 7 coins, a button of sorts and a house key. The silver was a 51d Rosie and I also got 5 wheat cents and 1 zinc. The Rosie was close to 5" deep and almost totally on edge. Almost all the wheats I dug today read in the zinc range, 77-79 and gave a mid and high tone. The one that didn't, read 83-84 and was a high tone. I had the 10" coil on, a gb of 67, disc. 1, 99 sen. and d3 and 4 tones. HH jim tn
 
Odds are you'll hit the mark, Jim.
 
5 wheats, but # 100 eluded me today. Got a good hunt planned on an old spot for tomorrow, so will see what tomorrow brings. Del, are you using or going to try the Omega? HH jim tn
 
Jim-----I don't have one right now but I'm going to try another Omega.---I had one of the earlier ones but didn't keep it.---I'm like some of you guys--looking forward to the next upgraded Omega (LTD , or whatever) to come out.----The Omegas do make great little coin shooters. :thumbup: ---------Del
 
Del, I don't know why you gave the Omega up, but I almost gave up on mine the first month. Thought it didn't have any depth, weak tones, and so on. In fact, tried to trade it back to my dealer for a T 2, but he didn't have one right then. Glad he didn't. Once I learned what it was softly saying and began to make some nice finds, I grew to really love it. It is the best true and pure coin shooter I have ever owned. Now, all we can do is wait for the next best one. Take care. HH jim tn
