Also picked up a new pair of Killer B Camo headphones. Man I tell ya, I must be losing my hearing already in my 30's as I have to have them near maximum volume to be satisfied with the tone. I tried flipping the switch on there and it was all silent, so nothing more I can do. It could just be the tone as well; maybe I could hear a higher tone better. Makes me wonder if I will be able to hear at all in another 10 years or so! I also posted something similar on the AT forum about having to have the volume maxxed out on my AT Pro headphones to hear well enough.]]> Habanero Tesoro ForumFri, 24 May 2013 01:18:33 -0500 http://www.findmall.com/read.php?17,1913327,1914294#msg-1914294 http://www.findmall.com/read.php?17,1913327,1914294#msg-1914294 TesoroDude Tesoro ForumWed, 31 Dec 1969 18:00:00 -0600 http://www.findmall.com/read.php?17,1914288,1914288#msg-1914288 http://www.findmall.com/read.php?17,1914288,1914288#msg-1914288 D&P-OR Tesoro ForumThu, 23 May 2013 00:22:29 -0500 http://www.findmall.com/read.php?17,1913327,1914279#msg-1914279 http://www.findmall.com/read.php?17,1913327,1914279#msg-1914279BB]]> BarberBill Tesoro ForumWed, 31 Dec 1969 18:00:00 -0600 http://www.findmall.com/read.php?17,1914260,1914260#msg-1914260 http://www.findmall.com/read.php?17,1914260,1914260#msg-1914260 lumacurve Tesoro ForumFri, 24 May 2013 01:21:35 -0500 http://www.findmall.com/read.php?17,1914080,1914080#msg-1914080 http://www.findmall.com/read.php?17,1914080,1914080#msg-1914080 GunnarMN Tesoro ForumThu, 23 May 2013 10:46:57 -0500 http://www.findmall.com/read.php?17,1914070,1914070#msg-1914070 http://www.findmall.com/read.php?17,1914070,1914070#msg-1914070

Not a lot of targets to be found but we both kept busy enough to make it fun and enjoyed a sunny day in the water digging. Me with my Sand Shark and John with his Infinium and At Gold. Hopefully we'll see warm weather soon and people will start swimming. But, we both scored a ring today and some clad so no complaints here. I also scooped a birthday boy....go figure

Here's the loot..

For you land jewelry hunters, do you find more jewelry on the sidelines of athletic fields, or on the fields themselves?

Does your trash to treasure ratio get better in on the fields or not?

Do you like modern parks or older parks for jewelry?

I have my theories but they are just that. Here is what Im thinking--

At first I thought that the field itself would be more productive as this is where the activity is taking place that might cause a ring or chain to fall to the ground. On the other hand, most players take their jewelry off beforehand and might lose it when they retrieve their towel or warm-up jacket where they placed the item on the sidelines.

Im also wondering how much valuable jewelry is worn by little kids, many of them boys, while playing on the fields. Meanwhile, the mothers and fathers are on the sidelines putting sun block on their children, getting their Gatorade out of the cooler, handing them equipment, etc. More chance that they lose a ring?...

Fields have less trash in my expereince but they are also much bigger than the sidelines and take much more time to cover.

Lots of clad on the sidelines, not so much in the fields. When jewelry hunting , clad is a nice distraction, but not really important to me.

Modern parks in my area also have much, much less trash, but perhaps older fields hold much, much more jewelry becaue of time and because its hiding in the trash. On the other hand, modern parks around here are frequented by folks who have much more valuable jewelry than did most people 50 years ago, at least in my town.

So what do you fellow jewelry hunters concentrate on? Do you grid the entire field, or hit the sidelines, or both? Do you hit new parks or old ones, or both? Why?]]> mojotrout Tesoro ForumWed, 22 May 2013 09:45:22 -0500 http://www.findmall.com/read.php?17,1913327,1913368#msg-1913368 http://www.findmall.com/read.php?17,1913327,1913368#msg-1913368goldbug pro in my local paper last week only $300 I emailed early morning but apparently someone called before he saw it :( damn me for being courteous lol That outlaw was a steal. too bad you missed it]]> deliveryboy Tesoro ForumWed, 31 Dec 1969 18:00:00 -0600 http://www.findmall.com/read.php?17,1913085,1913085#msg-1913085 http://www.findmall.com/read.php?17,1913085,1913085#msg-1913085 amcjavelin Tesoro ForumTue, 21 May 2013 05:52:27 -0500 http://www.findmall.com/read.php?17,1912850,1912850#msg-1912850 http://www.findmall.com/read.php?17,1912850,1912850#msg-1912850 Lake Hunter Tesoro ForumWed, 22 May 2013 23:09:34 -0500 http://www.findmall.com/read.php?17,1912712,1912712#msg-1912712 http://www.findmall.com/read.php?17,1912712,1912712#msg-1912712 SkiWhiz Tesoro ForumTue, 21 May 2013 17:48:26 -0500 http://www.findmall.com/read.php?17,1912637,1912637#msg-1912637 http://www.findmall.com/read.php?17,1912637,1912637#msg-1912637 junklord3139 Tesoro ForumTue, 21 May 2013 20:02:31 -0500 http://www.findmall.com/read.php?17,1912482,1912482#msg-1912482 http://www.findmall.com/read.php?17,1912482,1912482#msg-1912482 GunnarMN Tesoro ForumMon, 20 May 2013 10:23:28 -0500 http://www.findmall.com/read.php?17,1912459,1912459#msg-1912459 http://www.findmall.com/read.php?17,1912459,1912459#msg-1912459 cal Tesoro ForumThu, 23 May 2013 21:55:18 -0500 http://www.findmall.com/read.php?17,1912222,1912222#msg-1912222 http://www.findmall.com/read.php?17,1912222,1912222#msg-1912222 Joseph in Alabama Tesoro ForumSat, 18 May 2013 18:51:20 -0500 http://www.findmall.com/read.php?17,1912178,1912178#msg-1912178 http://www.findmall.com/read.php?17,1912178,1912178#msg-1912178
During the hunt I was working an area that had obvious signs of having been worked heavily previously, i.e., lots of subtle indentations still in the ground surface from previous target retrievals. My Toltec was indicating there were still tabs in that area so I was digging them and other iffy's in hopes of finding another ring as I did a few weeks earlier not far from this same location.

Then out of the blue right in the middle of all this previous activity I get a nice solid coin hit, audibly and by VDI indicating a coin at 5 inches! What the Hey? How could anyone have missed this? So I cut my usual hinged plug and at about 4 inches out comes the folded over rusty crown type bottle cap, as shown on the left side in the image. Now that did not make a bit of sense! I've been fooled more than once by rusty round bottle caps but not one thats been folded over. So there had to be something else in the hole.

I went over the hole again with the Toltec 9 inch coil. Not a sound in discrimination, again in all metal, still nothing?? Out came the new probe and bingo it indicates there is something else in the hole. I pull all the dirt out and with the probe I quickly locate a crusty 1937 wheat cent?? (penny above rusty cap)

I can only assume it had to have been standing on its edge near or on the bottom of the hole for the detector to not have detected it after I had loosened the soil. I have no way of knowing where the coin was in relationship to the rusty cap when it was first detected but from all the activity in that area, most if not all of the other detectors, for whatever reason didn't locate it.

It's not an earth shaking find for sure but just the same..........Cool!:thumbup:

Thats one for my old beater Toltec II and two for my new Pro-Pointer probe. :detecting:]]> knarfj Tesoro ForumSat, 18 May 2013 20:27:24 -0500 http://www.findmall.com/read.php?17,1911777,1911777#msg-1911777 http://www.findmall.com/read.php?17,1911777,1911777#msg-1911777

Ok, love my machines, I have the Silver uMax and the Compadre... would not trade 'em for anything...

Within a year, with my Silver uMax, I had a problem with the toggle switch... must have got some dirt in there... anyways, Tesoro repaired fine and dandy, as they do... and it was like new.

What I immediately did though was:

> Had an old eye dropper, you know, the one with the rubber squeeze bulb. I simply yanked the rubber bulb off the dropper...
and put it over the metal toggle switch. It fit like it was made for it! Perfect. Did the same thing to my Compadre... used simple clear
silicone to keep it on, just a thin bead around the bottom, so if I ever need to remove it, the silicone should just peel off.

Anyways, its been on both machines now for over 2 years, and both machines toggles still work like say one!

So, just a suggestion for ya'll that have machines with toggle switches. Cheap mod and works fantastic! For me anyways.

I don't "think" this will hurt the warranty either, as it comes right off with no damage if needed.

Hmmm, I may even suggest to Tesoro, that they may want to look into putting a cheap rubber boot over the toggles when they are being built... can probably but them cheap enough and may save Tesoro some money in terms of free warranty repairs if the Toggles have problems, like mine did. Might be cheaper for the company... save on repairs and shipping etc.

Anyways, just thought I'd share that idea. Works great for me!

It will be in the dry sand.

Most of the targets are pennies and not to deep, so settings probably won't matter much.

What do you think? Maybe should take sons Ace 250 since it's lighter than the pro and it's turn on and go.
