    Help...

    Hey Guys, I have recently started acquiring some Tesoro detectors. I have a question about the performance of the 2 newer ones... the Compadre and the Mojave. On my test site (coin garden) the Compadre with the small coil will hit a 6" dime, nickel and quarter with no problem. It will also hit...

    My luck...

    Bought a used F -75 on ebay. Got it. Checked it out and immediately sent it to FTI for an upgrade. It came back the evening before I had to leave to catch a boat for 28 days. Nothing like a little anticipation to make life interesting. I am really looking forward to my next days off. Happy...

    Todays finds 1-17-15

    10 quarters, 38 dimes, 30 copper pennies, 4 nickels, a gaming token and not shown were 26 zinc pennies. I had already put them in the container for zincs and was not about to dig them out. One of the copper pennies was a 48 wheat cent. Maybe not a big deal for some but I rarely find anything...

    Not to shabby for a Gamma and the stock coil. It was a good day. capt.

    Gamma. Air testing 5 coils, results.

    Since I have started detecting again I decided to test all of my coils tonight to get an idea of what is going on with each and how they compare across the board. The reason I wanted to do this was because of 2 tests I did at 2 different sites in the last 2 weeks. The first was at an old...

    Last two outings with the Gamma

    And think I did pretty good. Had nickels from 1963 and 1964 and pennys from 1961, 63 and 64. Closest I came to silver was a 1966 and 67 dime. Not a lot of silver in my area... at least I haven't found any lately, but I am working on it. Worked an area of the local park today that had no fill...

    Been a while...

    3 years and one month to be exact, since I last detected. Just kind of got busy with other things. Started checking this and other forums out last month and got bit by the detecting bug all over again. Bought a used F-75 on ebay... but this post ain't about that! Decided to detect today after...

    4/13/11..Another ring!

    .925 silver and was one of the earliest targets I dug today. Looks like it got hit by a lawnmower or something at some point. I was going to go water hunting with another detector but some idiot forgot his water boots by the front door so I had to (oh the horror) spend the day detecting with the...

    4/12/11

    Went to a new (to me) ball park to give it a go. Just kind of wandered around the area without a plan of attack because there was a lot of workers doing a lot of renovating and so I was kind of hanging back, trying not to be a bother, but still wanting to be productive. No one tried to chase me...

    1st hunt on this set of days off and it was my best ever!

    1st pic shows the 1st area I hunted today. An elementary school. I started with the 5 inch DD coil because I haven't used it in a while, having fallen in love with the big Nels coil. I found 10 quarters, 9 nickels, 13 dimes and 28 pennies. I also found a junk plated ring with a neat garnet...

    I'm home!!!!

    I had to get off the boat for a couple of days ( at the company's expense ) for a captains meeting. They put me up in a motel in Memphis. While there I found, stuck in my blanket, a silver (.925) ear ring stud minus the stone. Just had to mention this on the forum. Man, I found silver in a motel...

    Being delivered today. My arsenal is complete. To bad I can't use it for 16 days.... But I'll have it when I get home! :cheers:

    Nickels?

    I know that we, as detectorists, don't dig as many nickels (in the states) as other coins. We rationalize this by the similarity of their magnetic signature to pull tabs and can slaw and so they get over looked. I can believe some of that. However, on my last hunt before I caught the boat, I...

    Last hunt till next days off...

    but had a new first today. I found a Presidential 1$ coin! I have read that there are millions of these things around but this is the first one I have ever seen or held in real life. Rang up 89/91 like a quarter. Tried to find silver today, like every time I head out, and missed it by 1 year...a...
