Learning my new Omega 8000,Getting deeper coins!(pics inside) and a few questions?
I am still learning what the omega is telling me but i did a short hunt around the front yard today,Probably about 30 minutes or so,Dug these three coins at a depth of 6-7 inches.This detector is confusing at times though and i have a few questions...but first here are the keepers for today 1995 nickel,1980 penny,2010 dime,all at 6 inches or better.
Now for a few questions for fellow omega users,How much attention do you pay to the ground error window in the bottom left while detecting? I can ground balance it manually,ground grab in disc or AT mode,all three end with the same results.The ground error is all over the place within ten feet of detecting after GB. I didnt pay as much attention to it today as i normally do,I concentrated more on the ground mineralization window in the upper right which seemed to stay pretty low for the most part.I did notice however that the Ground Error jumped around alot more than usual whenever the ground mineralization changed by one bar.But after a few swings it settled down for a few feet and then the same thing happened again, When using ground grab i usually get a GB of between 57-60 depending on where i am on the property,Is this normal for these detectors or is there something else at play here? My main concern is that i may be missing the deeper coins because of this.Any input will be greatly appreciated,If its user error dont be shy and just call a spade a spade and tell me what im doing wrong.Thanks in advance!!
