    Hey Blowfly 1967

    How did you fare up there with your friend Yasi? Hope you got through it all ok...last I heard, Townsville was getting heaps of rain, and some wind. Hope everything is ok, and you can still get out detecting.

    Favourite Tesoro

    Hi All, I've been using Tesoro detectors (amongst others) since 2001, and even in that short time, different machines have come and gone. From what I've read on the forums, different ones are using the newer machines, while others are still using older Tesoros. What I'm interested to know (if...

    Digging in strange parts

    I live in an area which has a population of about 40,000 people, and do most of my detecting in that area. I almost always remove any junk or rubbish that I dig, although some others who detect in the area are not so diligent. When I do detect in other parts of our country, I constantly find...

    Omega in All Metal strikes again

    I had the Omega out for a short stint this morning (about an hour) and topok it back to the park where I found the gold ring last week. I had found pre-decimals coins at this park previously, but none for a while. This morning, apart from four decimals, I found a 1943 silver florin and four...

    Finally - Gold with the Omega

    Have been using the Omega in all metal mode the last few outings and I couldn't make up my mind whether I was receiving any benefit from it. I did feel that I was understanding the Omega better, but wasn't making brilliant finds, and in some areas the noise from all the rubbish and iron nearly...

    Ran the Omega in All Metal mode for a while

    I only spent about an hour, but was pleasantly surprised as to what I could identify by ear and the readout jointly. Only found a couple coins, but hadnt really expected much because I had been over the same area two or three times recently. I'd be interested to hear from anyone who also uses...

    Two and a half years

    since my last silver ring with the X Terra 70 (mind you, I have found a few gold ones with it in that time). I was beginning to wonder if I had lost my touch, or I was getting lazy, or the detector just wasn't hitting on them. I have been playing with other toys, so I was also wondering if I...

    Experimenting with tones on the Omega

    Hi All, Because the Omega hits so well on our Australian coins in d2 mode, I have seldom taken it out of that mode. I have been very happy with the performance of the Omega, but haven't found much in the way of jewellery..a few silver items (necklace, bracelet and pendant), and although I've...

    Question on AT PRO for anyone who might know.

    I know that the AT PRO is waterproof to a depth of 10 ft. My question is, if I'm detecting in the surf, and get hit by a big wave (as sometimes happens when you're concentrating on something else, like digging a target), can the At PRO withstand the pressure that would come from the force of...

    White"s Dual Field - Delay

    Hi All, I just bought a PI Dual Field, and had my first chance to use it a couple of days ago. The saltwater beach I was detecting has a lot of black sand, and conditions in the surf were rough...I have used my other Pi at the same spot and it has difficulty handling the black sand being tossed...

    What a difference some rain makes

    Hi all, I been hunting some old sporting fields that are coming up for re-development, so am trying to get as much detecting there done before that happens. I try to get there for a couple hours each week, and never fail to come away with some coins. About 10 days ago I was there with my X...

    Hey Mick in Dubbo

    G'day Mick, Read your post on another thread that you have your Omega. I cant help with the stem, or the grip, but may be able to offer some support on a couple of other issues. When I use the Omega ( or any of my VID machines) I only ever discriminate (or notch) out iron. Sometimes, with a...

    Silver with the Ogema 8000

    Hi All, Took the Omega out for a short spin today, as I was able to get away from work early (extra hours tomorrow). Went to a spot where I have detected lots of times before, and usually find a good haul of coins when I go there. But over the years I have found only one silver ring there...

    Put the 11" DD on my Omega 8000

    I had been using my new Omega with the 10" concentric coil, just to get used to the machine. Last weekend (Sat) I put the 11 DD coil on. I had hoped to get to the beach, but that didn't happend due to the weather, so I had to settle for a trip to a park or two. I wasn't disappointed. In about 3...

    Have you ever found a coin or other valuable item

    when you know that someone else has located it before you? I do so regularly, and have my own theories. I'd love to hear anyone else's theories on how this happens. Who knows? We have probably all done the same.

    Omega arrived.

    Hi all. My Omega arrived yesterday, but unfortunately I wont have time to use it for a few days. A big thank you to Mike Hills, who put me onto someone who was able to tell me who are the new Aussie importers and distributors for Teknetics. Am very much looking forward to learning this new...

    Took the DeLeon for a walk

    I have added posts to several topics involving the DeLeon lately, and, because I've been playing with new toys for the most of 2009, I thought I should take the DeLeon out (just to remind myself how good it is). I took it to a playing field where, in 2009 alone I extracted many coins totalling...

    Getting too hot to handle

    It isn't too long ago that I was reading posts from guys in the USA that it was too hot to hunt....now in Aus. we're copping it...today's prediction is 42 deg.C (104 deg. F). I went out early and found 5 coins for $7, but went home when the sun had been up for about an hour. There are...

    A few silver coins

    At the end of last week I went to an open sports area which the local council had ripped up (ploughed) and levelled. Thought it was worth a try and found two copper halfpennies (1929 and 1943) and three silver coins: a 2/- (florin) (1947 and 50% silver), a 6d (1940) and a 3d (1915), both...
