Sudden mute Omega syndrome

[pasttom]

I was hunting the field tonight near dark and the sound went out on my Omega. I had just put in a new battery and worked maybe 60 feet from the car and I noticed no sound for the last 15 feet or so. I checked the read out and it was unaffected. I just had no sound. I went back to the car and put in the headphones- no change. NUTZ I pulled out my F2 and started in again but it would not stay on. Double nutz! I dug out my ID Edge and worked around the house but it was now very dark and I can't use that machine without seeing the read out. Two deep soda cans and it was quits for the night. I may have to ship a load to El Paso.
Maybe I need to pray and meditate about the course of life.

But I was detecting the yard at the parsonage...

Trying to lift some coins from God's house.........hmmmmm. Maybe He wants to keep that old silver......lol

But seriously, the blanking out is a stumper. Maybe one of the engineers here have an answer.

A battery ya thunked was a good 'un what wazzn't?

If that hasn't been ruled out, try another fresh name brand alkaline that tingles your tongue downright perky when you lick the terminals.

I experienced the same thing this morning
Wasn't sure if it wasn't the headphone connection.

Power lines and sinders all around.

 

[pasttom]

See! Its an epidemic! I had flower lines and sinners all around! Beware! Beware! This could be the end!
Send in your F75 LTDs and T2 SEs and maybe we will be spared, who knows?

Just kidding- its a setback, not the end of the world! Really- joke (though my tale is true)

Mine would do that periodically and I had to shut it off and turn it back on again and it worked fine. I haven't sent it in yet but will get around to it sooner or later.

Well I guess it is a good thing you have three detectors with a double bout of bad luck. That's a drag man.

 

[pasttom]

Prayer does work wonders! And I only cussed silently & mildly in my heart, just a little for a minute.

Tried the new battery routine and walla- back from the mute! I guess I should a been more patient and had faith.
Tom the relieved

Not only is it singing again, this morning I was blessed with another silver dime! A lovely 1940 Merc! My oldest coin so far!
I was not even at church! I stopped along the street to check out the dirt sidewalk in front of a chain link fenced lot. Not bad!
Tom the grateful!

Thanks, its my 4th silver coin in my 8 month career- three dimes and a quarter. They are coming faster. Luck or skill or a combination?

Who cares, I am grateful and I want to keep looking.

Thanks, Harold.
