Random Thoughts

[pull tab mel]

I have a T2 and it is a good machine....Been wanting an Omega to compare..... There are a lot more T2's on the used market than Omega's....Had a Delta and it seemed to perform as well as the T2....I like to hunt jewelry,coins and relics so maybe the T2 is all I need......Is the G2 as good as well? I'm thinking if you get the coil over a target any of the above will detect it.....seems that my T2 wont id and lock on to targets as well as I would like but it still detects them.......I am trying to talk myself into buying an Omega or maybe the G2....I am 62 and have back problems from time to time and like the light weight Teknetic line......has anyone here compared the Teknetics line in an actual hunt to see how they detect the same targets? Well, I told you up front that this was random thoughts...LOL.

I haven't had a T2 since the original one. It was very deep but didn't ID very deep. I find the Omega to be a great coin machine. Some say it has problems with electrical interference.
The G2 don't have the interference issues but I don't feel that it is as good of coin machine as the Omega. Some say the Omega can be a very deep machine but I haven't found many
coins deeper than 7.5". I'm 77 and know about back problems.

I have heard very good things about the omega as a coin machine. I have also heard great things about the g2 around iron. All seem to be the same weight, so I don't think you will go wrong with either.

The favor is to shoot me an e-mail at either monte@ahrps.org or to monte@stinkwaterwells.com and include your e-mail address.

I am on the road in Utah right now, but heading back to Oregon. I'll check in on my e-mails later today and I'll gladly shoot you a personal e-mail with my thoughts and opinions. There's a lot of misinformation out there that is partly correct and also partly in correct as to what some makes and models can do. Go detecting and enjoy your T2, but shoot me an e-mail when you get a few minutes.

Monte i hate u dont feel comfortable shareing ur thoughts here. I get tons of good info from ur poasts and really love to read them as they are well thought out and put together.......jeremi

I'll try and share a little generalized info for the casual readers to consider.

I have a T2 and it is a good machine.

Correct, the T2 IS a good detector. Like all good detectors it will have its strong points and weak points.

Been wanting an Omega to compare.

The Omega is also a 'good' detector which, as expected, also has some strong and weak points. I had a T2, liked it, and if was a good fit in my arsenal of personal-use models. Then I was asked by a could of dealers 2
