    My brother in law found this in his backyard in upper state N.Y. (Berlin). About the size of a quarter, maybe a little larger. Any idears???

    Possibly part of a watch.If held in your hand it would be right side up..

    Iron grunts

    I relic hunt in one tone,disc @5,dig everything above 10vdi.My understanding is that when you disc above 6vdi(or switch to another mode)the detector automatically raises the disc to 15.Good targets mixed in with iron or in “hot” dirt give skewed vdi readings even shallow ones.

    Iron Snake S Hook

    I dug this at one of my favorite skirmish sites.It is iron and appears to have a snake head on one end.I usually ignore iron signals but due to the proximity I knew that I needed to check this one out..

    Civil War or Later...?

    Sorry for waiting so long to follow up on this relic.This appears to be two pieces with the eagle attached to a thin disc.,which leads me to believe it was pinned or sewn on a uniform.I haven’t found any similar eagles on Confederate artifacts..Size is about the same as a quarter.

    NEL tornado coil-F75LTD

    I use a Tornado on my F75 and love it in our Tennessee red dirt.I mostly hunt one Tone,signal mid 80’s,discrimination @ 1-5,ground balance usually low 50’s.Good targets very seldom rise above 30vdi so everything above a vdi of 10 gets investigated.

    Civil War or Later...?

    Found at a site where Civil War relics have been located but can’t find a reference.Appears to be two piece.

    Tesoro Relic Coils

    Most of my detecting is in open fields where everything non-ferrous gets dug.Targets that TID at 60-65 out of the ground struggle to achieve a 10-20 TID at 6” in our dirt.I hunt either all metal or one tone discriminate with disc set at 5 or below with my F75 and dig anything that tries to rise...

    Tesoro Relic Coils

    I’m aware that the ground balance only works in the all metal mode and that the discrimination mode uses a fixed/preset ground balance.Could different coils be manually ground balanced and used in all metal?I’m not sure but I think the tid works in both modes.As always,I appreciate and respect...

    Tesoro Relic Coils

    I just picked up a Tesoro Cortes in mint condition but the previous owner was strictly a coinshooter.The only coil with the detector was a Tesoro 7” concentric.My preferred hunting is for civil war relics.Any recommendation for a larger coil?I have a NEL Tornado on my F75 that works very...

    5900 di pro sl/6000 di pro sl

    The difference is the manual vs auto ground balance.I believe the 6000 was built first and they later found that there was a demand for the manual more precise ground balance, thus the 5900 to avoid confusing the two models.

    F75ltd; I've been doing this wrong!

    I'm a relic hunter,mostly in open fields.Like most,I started out in disc mode and later switched to all metal motion.Usually I would listen for the higher zip-zip tones,but a few days ago I noticed the vdi numbers jumping on the softer tones.After digging a few of these lower tones and finding...

    F75LTD Volume Control Location

    Has anyone addressed the problem of "bumping" the volume control on the F75 ? I've tried the orings under the knob trick to make it harder to turn but still occasionally find that I've turned the volume down without realizing it.TIA David

    My MXT E series lost its VDI

    I put my old MXT E series away when I upgraded to the MXT All Pro.I broke it out yesterday for the first time this year and while it still worked my vdi readings were reading way too low.Nickels read as foil,quarters as nickels and nothing read any higher.The signals are still there in...

    Rubber Bullets

    I snuck up on a picket post a few weeks ago and dug these .50 cal Smith carbine drops.These were originally encased in rubber and later when they ran out of rubber,they switched to paper casings.Pretty interesting projectile.
