Who coin hunts with the G2???

Hello all.I have been an omega fan for a couple of years now. Thinking of getting a brand new one again. I have also been looking at the G2 as well. I primarily hunt for coins but occasionally relic hunt. I know the G2 has dual processors but does it have an advantage with 2 processors while coin hunting??? Thanks Tim
 
I would like to add the G2 to my line as well, any info would be great ,
 
I recently got one and I am primarily a coin hunter but will take any jewelry or relics that happen to get in the way.....;o) I hunt a lot of public parks with a lot of trash. I also have the Etrac, V3i and a CZ3D so I have something to compare the G2 to. First it is not what I would call a depth demon. It will go fairly deep in my area maybe 8 inches on a coin, but I have mild ground in most places. It will hit the lower conductors better. It has a super fast recovery speed and seems to be real accurate on the target identification. Mine is super stable and runs quiet even on higher sensitivity settings. If I were after deep silver this would not be my first choice but if I was just out looking for coins or jewelry down to 6 inches then it would be fine. Since I hunt in trashy parks most of the time I am probably going to upgrade to the F19 when it comes out. It is supposed to have a notch feature which would work good in the trashy parks. I have done several videos with the coin hunting with the G2 and different coils. You can find them on youtube. Hope this helps.

I have watched them all multiple times. Bill is the man :)
 
I find coins all the time with my G2 while out civil war relic hunting. It does pretty good the whole way around. HH
 
I hunt with the GBP (same as the G2) on the beach. It's the best machine I've found for this purpose - especially on dry sand. I've had great results with it finding gold and silver jewelry.
 
My biggest issue with the GBPro is not the depth with the ultimate coil, but learning to listen for the "deep faint whisper signals" and this thing gives those type signals, but you gotta learn to "hear them". For example, the other day I found a very nice V nickel, about 11 inches down. But again, it was a faint, almost higher pitched "whoo whoo" kinda sound. But repeatable, but again very faint.

It was running in disk mode with a setting of 76 on the disc. When I hear these faint signals, I immediately flip to AMM, to listen again, and see if the speedometer gives a higher reading as well.

My BIGGEST issue is seeing (again in disc mode) the 75-78 range and digging lots of screw caps. But when the depth meter on the left shows full bars, or a very strong signal like this, it is always shallow and almost always a screw cap.

Why do I keep my disc at 76? For me, it seems to knock out the majority of pull tabs on the places where I am hunting for old coins and deep silver. The other day, I also pulled an old End cap to an old hand rail in the park, and was a measured 17 inches down. I run the disc at around 38 when hunting in civil war relic areas though.

Listening for those deep faint signals requires some learning (at least for me it did), but it is fun digging something deep like this, as you never know what it is. And it's encouraging, when you dig off a few inches of soil, only to see your signal get stronger and more accurate.
