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, threw some coins onto the sand, and swiped my coil over them. Nothing happened. Frustrated I returned home and swiped out the coils and did more tests. Yep, it was broken. I sent it in to Teknetics and am just waiting to hear the damage. What stinks is that I bought it used. It was in like-new shape, 3 coils, for a little over $400. I couldn't resist the deal. I've had several other MDs through the years, and I never had to send one in for repair, so I thought I would be okay buying used. And yes, I knew at the time if I bought new, I would have the warranty to fall back on if it needed repair. Any idea of what kind of bill I may have to pay for repair? I've learned my lesson and for now on I am buying new from an authorized dealer. The Omega is the best detector I've ever owned; however, like all electronic gear, stuff happens when you least expect it. The moral of the story..........buy new from an authorized dealer.
