WOW what a difference a different machine makes

[dld]

I had been using my Omega 8000 for a while and loved it, in August I had a chance to get a Minelab Explorer SE Pro at a good price. So I set my trusty Omega aside and started the real, real slow swing speed learning the Explorer. It is deeper than the Omega by a little and gives a ton of information to filter through and its heavy. I did very well with it at one school I search at. Well Turkey day came and I decided to put a battery beck in the Omega and head to the school for a couple of hours. Boy I had forgotten just how light the Omega was and faster swing speed was like a race horse compared to a mule. In a area I had searched many times with the Explorer I found 5 quarters, 3 dimes, 10 nickels and 14 pennys. I was amazed especially the nickels, I had found a few with the Explorer but the Omega just excelled. I have found more silver coins and deeper coins with the Explorer but I am going to wear a spot out with the Omega first from now own, then take the explorer to check and see if I happen to of left any thing. The Explorer has a very slow processor and the Omega has a fast one, what takes me a 10-15 minutes swinging the Omega in a area takes about 1/2 hour to a hour with the Explorer. Both machines had on stock coils, 11 DD on the Omega and 10 DD on the Explorer. If the Omega reads 56-57 it is a nickel, 55-56 or 57-58 its a pop top, on the Explorer its 08-22, 09-07 or 10-06 some times the first set of numbers will very a little. If the Omega says it is a nickel 56-57 it is a nickel. The Omega was a lot quicker to learn and the identifying numbers do not very much. I usually dig anything but iron just in case its some thing good. I was and still am impressed with the Omega 8000 and it is my go to detector from now on.

The Teknetics Omega 8000 and Teknetics Gamma 6000 are awesome coin and jewelry machines. I praise them all the time to people looking for coins.
