    M6 and Tot Lot Gold

    I just love it when I come to a tot lot that has recently been destroyed by someone before me. I get even more excited when I pull coins and jewelry out of their holes. But it amazes me just how much gold they leave in the chips for me to find. This gold came out of 5 tots this week. The...

    Hero Of The Month

    I was out jumping tots this morning with my compadre and as I was leaving to go to the next one, a park employee stopped me at the car. His problem was, he was edging a sidewalk about 30 minuets earlier and lost a part on his edger that stopped his work. He asked me if I could find it for him...

    Help ID - Tesoro Bandido U Max?

    Can anyone help me ID this detector? Correct model and age, maybe a little info?. It's listed as a Tesoro Bandido U Max I can't figure out where it falls in the tesoro line up. Pics were taken off an ad. Sorry for the low quality. Thanks

    A Modern Day Treasure Story

    Back in the 80's I had a close friend and working associate come to me and ask if I still had a metal detector. I told him yes and this story started to unfold. My friend was in a business where he made LOTS of money under the table. So in order to hide it, he was buying gold and silver coins...

    M6 - Like Using A Pair OF Long Tweezers

    With this terrible drought we are having in No. California, I have not been able to work any parks. The ground is rock hard and digging will just kill any grass left. Today I found a park that had green grass and a little moisture to allow some digging in spots. This park I have worked to...

    I Must Be Slipping

    Was going thru some of my finds from the last 4 months and came across this ring. It looked like costume jewelry but had just enough of an odd look to investigate. I put a loop to it and found some faint stampings on it. It reads : WWDS-US 14K. Now this was a nice surprise. I have no idea...

    Me + M6 = Gold

    Hit a school tot lot this morning and right under the slide was this nice tiny 4.3 gram 14 K bracelet waiting for me. I thought to my self, thanks kids, I'll be back.

    M6 Ravages School Tot In 3 1/2 Hour Hunt

    This morning I hit a rather large school tot lot. I have to say this M6 is nothing but savage. Having the place all to myself I spent 3 1/2 hours there and covered the hole lot. In that time, I picked up $8.50 in change, several pendants, a 2 oz fishing weight, tweezers, 2 rings, an earring...

    M6 Snags Silver On Second Hunt

    Went back out to the soccer field for about an hour this morning. Digging the trash wasn't half as bad as fighting a 20 MPH wind. But was there long enough to capture this old sterling ring. 13.5 grams and rang up as a quarter. I'm starting to like this M6 almost as much as my MXT.

    Breaking It In Right

    For a couple of years now I have been wanting an M6 to compliment my two MXT's. I have been too cheap to buy a new one, so have been suffering all this time. Yesterday, I came across a closet queen. This detector I was told was never used and it sure looks like it. In my heart I know that can't...

    You Just Gotta Love Those Soccer Players

    Out this morning testing a new coil on my MXT. After about an hour with only about 67 cents found in clad, I get a hit in the middle of the field. It was a week hit, bouncing between 0 and 6 VDI. I dug a quick plug and at 4 1/2", at the bottom of the hole was this nice chain. Oh they look so...

    People Are Always Asking.....................................

    What is the best Detector To buy ? or Where can I find gold? or How do you find so much gold all the time? It's very simple. I hunt every day and I hunt in places where people have the opportunity to lose jewelry. I have a good quality detector that is gold sensitive and is capable of giving me...

    A Nice Surprise

    Went to a park this morning close to one of the high schools in my area. It has 2 tots, a tennis court, soccer field and basket ball court. It sits in a rather up scale neighborhood and by it's looks, you would think it would be a gold mine. I have worked this park several times but have found...

    Double Play In The Ball Park

    I seldom hunt ball fields as they are generally hit pretty hard by everyone who has a new detector. But I had been visiting a friend in a small town several miles from where I live and on the way home, I passed a park that had an old backstop that didn't look like it had been used in years. I...
