	I have an Omega 8000 and it's a great detector for the price.

Hi Spotshot.  Can the Omega find aluminum?  Haha.  You know it just occurred to me, I wonder if aluminum is all over the world or is it predominantly an americam phenomenon?  Welcome to the boards Spotshot.  Browse around and stay awhile!  How do you like your Fisher?

	Our cans are made of gold here since gold is everywhere. I trip over nuggets here that are just too heavy to carry home sometimes. They grind it up and mix it with epoxy to make roads here. "Follow the yellow brick road!"

Man, that's got to be awful.  It could get very discouraging on our hunts for aluminum

I don't have a problem finding aluminum, especially the cans./ (I like the Omega, I've found some good stuff with it.)
my wife likes the F2
She had a Tesoro Silver Umax and liked it but prefers the  Fisher F2 ID machine.

I think everyones machines on this thread are good in the right hands, and the sellection of machines owned by all who replied just go's the show how the way you hunt , the ground conditions,settin's that are used, and the enviroment of which they are used in proves to the makers how variable things are that effect the machines abillities to opperate because they don't know where that machine is goin to travel to or what it will encounter, after using a certain brand of detectors for 5+yrs, I've come to the conclusion that they work well but not in the area/conditions that i hunt in, which anoy's me because i really like them,,and i spent more than $10000.00 on them .I listerned to the hype , dealers that had there profits be the reason i bought the machines that i got sold.

sometimes you just have to experiment, now that i've got the machines i've got my finds rate has gone up, In my area i would challenge any over priced machine, BUT REMEMBER THIS on small coin size targets or smaller ( not including raw gold ) that is where the differance lies because even a cheaper brand detectors will see larger targets at very surprising depth, find a brand of detector that suit's your budget that is sensitive, good depth and wave the coil over the target and that target is yours, don't just by a new detector just because you fancy a change buy it coz you need it because all of the above. my detectors are results of 1000sssss of hours of OK detecting finding some good bits now and then but that all changed in june/july 2010 when i bought those machines i've got now, my MEGA ?/$ machines have all gone
now and it makes you not want to go detecting when you've bought one of the best detectors out there and it don't work in you're location or conditions. don't do what i did, the best machine is'nt always the best machine for you, GOOD LUCK,

john
