..............if you can find a location that's has moderate to low EMI. My version 5 handles EMI better than my version 4 did, but it's still a bit too sensitive to EMI. The mid-fifties home that I detected today had hardly any EMI at all. I was able to run the Omega with a NEL Sharpshooter search coil attached at full sensitivity, 0 discrimination, 4 tones and GB around 60. I've detected this yard before, but not with the Omega. I've pulled several silver coins from this yard on a previous hunt, but I was amazed at what I had missed in modern coins and coppers. I only managed to pull one silver coin today. It's better than nothing!:laughing7:

Nice digs Tabman. Never can pull enough silver Rosies or Buffalo Nickels. :occasion14: After you clean out that Site, Id' go back with my biggest coil.

I was thinking about doing that, because a lot of those deeper targets today were just barely detectable using the smaller search coil. I usually can't use the bigger search coil on the Omega because of EMI. This site should be just fine with the bigger search coil.

Awesome finds Tabman!
 

You're back at it again! Nice haul! I can't wait to get back into detecting...ground is frozen here!

Taylor I wish that you still lived here. I've found some really good places to detect, but they're a little risky for one person even with a LC9. I've found around a dozen silver coins in four short hunts so far this year. I spend a lot of my detecting time looking over my shoulder.

I have a spot like that. It's risky but I keep going back when I can.
 

Oh BTW, great coin finds with the Omega. Silver is always great and so are Buff's.
Congrats.
