    Help with where your Vaquero knocks out a nickel

    So I as watching a video with 53silver and his car knocks out a nickel just above the 5c line. Mine is more like just above the unlabeled foil line below. In the end doesn't really matter, but I'd prefer to get mine as close to where they actually come stock as possible so that things I find and...

    Storimg metal detectors in cars...

    So I was curious if anyone does this. I remember Monte posting that he does and that as long as not in direct sunlight it won't cause damage. Used the example of the radio in your car not dying because of heat inside. Considering putting 1 or 2 of my resorts in my backseat covered with a couple...

    Pain in forearm and tendon? Newbie problem?

    So I was just curious if you gents had a similar issue when starting out. The two tendons on the top side of your elbow. I'm fairly new and maybe doing something wrong and if so in need of advice. Or is it just something you go through when starting out? I've tried to relaxy grip a bit which...

    Where does platinum ring in?

    I've seen videos of people finding platinum, but have not seen anything about where it falls on the VDI scale or on a Tesoro disc circuit. Everyone wants some platinum!! I have none so I can't check. I'm sure size and shape has something to do with it but would like a better idea of where it can...

    Cibola is all over the place

    So I took my Cibola out today because I was sad it just sat for a while. Man that thing is all over the place!!! Tabs ringing from at the foil line (below 5 cent which on mine is where nickels go out ironically) all the way past tab. Not cool. Aluminum ringing in as same as a copper penny. I...

    Opinion from all you makro-ites.... :-)

    Hello, I've been reading through the makro forum considering the R2 and was wondering if I should get it, considering I have the relic (awesome). Any who have run both feel free to chime in. I'm speaking purely about performance, not screen location or other aesthetics. They seem very similarly...

    First silver ring with the compadre !!

    So right in front of the entrance to my group of apartments is full of tons of tones. Lots of trash but today I said what the heck, not a far walk. Great haul though!!! First silver ring. 2 nickels from the early 60s that are still silver looking (newer ones turn red here.) 2 whole rows of...

    Anyone have any experience with the 10" elliptical 4 pin coil?

    I like my 5.5x10 on my relic, although I only used it carefully once until the cover comes in. How is the tesoro elliptical? I like the fact that you get the separation of a small coil, but coverage of a larger coil. Don't have any coils for my cibola besides stock and want to try another and...

    For those that have use a modded cibola and a vaq...?

    So I know they aren't the same. Curious to know the differences. I have a friend that wants to part with his vaq and I have the modded cibola. Just wondering if the vaq has something to offer that my modded cibola doesnt. P.s. it's a good deal so I want it, but don't know if I need it...

    Bandido II owners, need some pointers

    So I love tesoros as you can see in my signature. This one is a bit different. Seems like I'm just starting to get good with my other tesoros disc knobs, when I get this one lol. Instead of the usual modern ones having the iron, 5 cent, foil (not on my cibola), and tab, and zinc it has...

    Is this normal with my relic??

    So I've noticed that after findING a target and picking my machine up after filling a home, that when I'm sliding my arm through the cuff and positioning my hand, I'm getting alot of popping and high pitched very tiny pops. Is it because of the ground tracking adjusting from the coil pointing...

    Question on hunting with H.O.T. circuit machines. Opinions wanted.

    Well after completing my cibola, wondering how you gents hunt with your cibola, vaq, tej machines. When hunting with my tesoros, I set disc just above iron, then when I get a signal I disc up slowly to try and guess what it is. Then go back down the where I started to pinpoint (X on compadre...

    Wow I need more time with my relic!!

    Either the area I was in sucked or I need to learn my detector more. In fairness I've only used it 3 times. Looking for gold so I dug everything over iron. LOTS of trash. Like all trash. 1 nickel and 3 pennies all clad. Just a rough patch I hope. Maybe next time will he better.

    Nokta FR26 5.5x10 coil cover?!

    I can't find it anywhere. Will the Makro rc26 cover fit? Same dimensions. It's even black!! I just can find one for this coil. Thanks! !

    Help!! Cibola mod seems wrong!!

    So I finished the GB and switch for all metal/disc today. Had a hiccup with the sensitivity knob causing a constant beep, but got that figured out. Runs fine, sounds off great in disc. And I set my disc level at nickel to calibrate. All good. But then came me ground balancing it... So if all...

    10x5.5 DD relic coil on the way!!!

    I was lucky enough to snag one of these that have been on preorder forever. Anyone familiar with this style of elliptical even on other detectors, feel free to share sites and situations you prefer using it!!! To me, it's got the coverage of the stock coil, but closer to the separation of the...

    Anyone have a ųmax pole system they wanna sell?

    Hey gents, Figured I'd ask before buying from a dealer... My Bandido II Ųmax has a very old pole system without cam locks and wobbles. Wonder if anyone has an extra pole system for the ųmax models they would want to part with. I'll need all 3 poles upper with armeest, middle and lower. If bot...

    9x8 coil for cibola

    So I was wondering, is the light gray part on the bottom a scuff cover? I received my used one yesterday and it's my first H.O.T. circuit machine. Is that part of the coil or a cover I can remove for cleaning? If a cover, what's the best way to remove it. It's on there. My other 5 pins have...
