    How long does it take before it all comes together??

    I've been hunting for a few years, with the majority of my hours on the DFX and most recently a Tek Omega. I've had the e-trac for a few weeks, and I get out as often as I can, am reading forum posts, read the books, but still feel a little overwhelmed. Don't get me wrong. I am not...

    New E-Trac just arrived

    I've been lurking here for a few months, often amazed at everyone's fabulous finds. I think I've done pretty well with my Tek Omega, but I just knew that I had to try the E-Trac. I've been reading tons of posts trying to familiarize with the various settings. So here I am, and I may have a...

    She said, "You actually have to dig it after your detector beeps?"

    I was discussing some of my latest finds with my Japanese female co-worker. She asked how does metal detecting work. So I explained the process of hearing a beep, then you can check the display, and then you decide whether or not to dig out the item. She then asked, "You actually have to dig...

    Teknetics Omega sniffs 133 coins + gold in about 2 hours

    I went detecting at a Marine obstacle course at one of the Marine bases where I work overseas in Japan. I used the small 5" coil because that was on from a previous trashy-site hunt. I found 133 coins in a little over 2 hours. I found 65 dimes, 26 quarters and 22 nickels. My Omega loves...

    Teknetics customer service is amazing

    This thread is to give thanks to the great folks that run Teknetics. I bought a used Omega last year, knowing that it would be unwarranted (stupid me). I never had to send a detector in for repair in the past, so I thought I would be okay. Well this past Dec my Omega no longer wanted to...

    Fisher F2 -- possibly a great back-up detector?

    My Teknetics Omega 8000 was sent in last week for repair, and I have been kicking myself for not having a back-up detector. So many lost opportunities in the past week, so yesterday I ordered a Fisher F2 with 4" & 8" coils. From all of the great reviews of this MD, I can't believe it set me...

    I broke my Omega

    Last week I went to do a little beach hunting. I had went to a park two days prior, and my machine worked fine. After about 5 minutes at the beach I realized that the detector wasn't picking up any signals with the disc set at 30. In all metal mode, it worked fine. I put it back in disc...

    :cam:Omega finds Japanese WWII relic. What is this anyway?:smoke:

    I was out detecting yesterday evening on a USMC military base with the Omega. I decided to detect in an open field where companies of Marines meet in the early hours for calisthenics before hitting the pavement for a long formation run. This field has been used in this capacity for about a 1/2...

    Omega loves abandoned military housing

    So yesterday I made my first trip onto the empty housing project on a military base overseas where I live. For background info please read the following post: http://www.findmall.com/read.php?58,1271827 I started out with the 5" coil and detected in the area of an empty clothesline on the side...

    Omega 8000 at the beach = $13 in clad (in Japan)

    I have a new detector, the Tek 8000 w/ 3 coil package. I received it last week on 8/18. 1st-time use that evening was in an open field to get a feel for the MD. I didn't find much besides some cracked shell casings from the Battle of Okinawa. This weekend I was able to get away to the...

    Omega 8000: How to hunt 500 abandonded homes built in the 1940s

    My Omega with 3 coils will be arriving in about a week:super:. I have been out of the hobby for about 3 or 4 years. My entry back into the hobby was sparked by the closing of several neighborhoods of US military houses overseas on base. I estimate there to be about 500 homes with front & back...

    Omega 8000 or Delta 4000, light enough for a 10-year old to swing?

    Hello all, I am about to take the plunge on an Omega 8000 after taking a few years off from the hobby. One of the main reasons that I am excited to get back into it is that I want to experience this hobby with my son since he is a little older now. He is average height, but on the skinny side...

    Fisher F2 or F70 for 500 abandoned virgin homes with 1000s of acres in between

    The detector is the limit, so it seems... My situation: I work for the US Military overseas. Recently on one of the bases they evacuated about 500 individual households to make way for other projects: large housing towers that can accomodate more families to make greater use of the scarce...
