IT IS RAINING HERE TODAY!:angry:
Although I had a good many hours in with my regular F 75 and then the LTD using the 11" DD coil, I had but a handful with it and the Omega and I am here to state, "that is one deadly combination." I had been using the 10" coil on the Omega quite a bit, thinking that having already scoured some of my better producing spots with the 11" DD and occasional stints with the 5 and 6 1/2" coils and my other detectors, that the 10" might sniff out a few more goodies. Quite frankly, I did find the 10" hard to take off. It gets decent depth, is light and a joy to swing, and it did find me numerous good finds. I decided, however, to go to the 11" DD earlier this month after I recovered the "surprise" silver dime with the 10" coil out of a more modern era park. That park was actually built, along with the school, in 1984. I felt the 11" would give me a little better coverage and depth and be better in the stretches that did have concentrations of tabs and can slaw. I never pulled any more silver from the site, but from among the trash and from other less trashy places, did recover over $30.00 in clad.
Hoping for maybe one more silver before years end, I went back to my old faithful Military housing site and spent almost 11 hours hunting on it between Mon. and Tues., using the 11" coil. I didn't recover any more silver, but from a site that good targets had become fewer and fewer, I did pull 7 wheats and 5 pre 82 Memorials,several clads and 1 1983 UN PESO, 3 Navy buttons, 2 keys, a copper cross and a 2000 rabies dog license. On the Omega, the 11" DD hits good targets with laser proficiency. Almost all recovered targets were within just a few inches of trash items, or in clods with trash pieces. 1 wheat cent was under a 1" x about 1/4" dia. rusty bolt and two 3-4" lengths of drain plug chain. The wheat itself was about 6" deep and the other targets were in various spots within the first 4" of the dirt clod. About a 4" deep clad quarter was located within 2" of a 6" long piece of narrow sheet metal. There was just enough distance between the two items to get the flash of a quarter reading from one direction.. When trying to pinpoint, it would pinpoint the sheet metal.
In closing, guess I'll leave the 11" DD on the Omega for a while
