The Teknetics detectors can overload on surface coins.

i had a small iron shovel that i buried a couple inches down same results even on pulltabs any tips did this happen on yours?

Surface coins or coins just under the surface would overload...A feature that I really hated. No reason to do that on coin sized objects.

so its a normal thing? dont seem to make much sense to overload on a coin does it have anything to do with it being a lower frequency and being able to go deep

 

[Coinstriking Michigan]

I'm not sure why it did it...and it didn't do it every single time but there is no benefit to overloading on coin size targets. It's a deep machine that you can really crank, much like the Fisher F70 but much more stable and quiet.

thanks i will run it through its paces tomorrow and see what she can do i just got to figure out how high the sensitivity should be

I normally kept the Sens around 90...one great think about the Omega is nickels ALWAYS ring up 56-57...I've never dug anything else other than nickels with those two numbers. Listen close for soft, deep signals that repeat...almost always a coin.

thanks alot for the tips i really like the fact that its extremely light and the headphone jack being smaller is a great thing

You're welcome, it is very light and well balanced in my opinion. I wish all detectors accepted 1/8 along with 1/4 inch jacks.
