    more finds with the vaquero

    Went back to the lake yesterday and hit a couple of campgrounds. Found a silver rosie, 2 wheats, a tootsie toy car, and several clad coins. I understand the tootsie toys are collectible but don't know anything about them. If I had been using my Garrett gti 1500 I probably would not have dug...

    Vaq. finds two more V nickels

    Took the vaq. back to the site where I found a v nickel a few weeks ago and found a couple more. The vaq. works its way through the iron laden field really well. Besides the two v's I found a 30's wheatie, a badly corroded Ks. tax token and a 1977 nickel.

    vaquero finds a v

    I took my vaquero to a site that I have detected for the past 10 yrs. It is in a farm field where an old homestead once stood. The site is covered with lots of iron, so it can be a challenge to hunt. I had the stock coil on with the disc. at below nickel, sens. at 9 and threshold a slight...

    vaquero lake hunt II

    Took my Vaquero back to the lake camp ground today and went over the area that I had previously searched with my Garrett and V. Was only able to hunt about an hour and a half before it started raining but the site produced two more silvers. The two silver coins and the nickel were in the same...

    short hunt with my Vaquero

    Took my V to a camp ground at the local lake and found a few coins. I found one silver Rosey, 3 wheats and around three dollars in clad. I had taken my Garrett 1500 to the same spot a couple of weeks ago and found almost the exact coin count. One silver, 3 wheats and 2 or 3 dollars in clad...

    Vaquero lake hunt

    Took the Vaq. to a lake today hoping to find some gold. No such luck but I did find some silver that really surprised me. The Merc. dime and war nickel were found in the same hole on the swimming area beach. The lake was built in the late 30's but I know there has been hundreds of detectors...

    more vaquero relics

    Took the vaq. back out yesterday to the Indian campsite. I've hit this site hard the past ten yrs. but it still produces a few keepers. I found several lead bullets, a hammer from a flint lock, another dragoon button, a partial bell that they would have used as an adornment, a tiny bangle ...

    Vaquero relic hunt

    Went back to an Indian campsite a couple of days ago and found a few more relics with the Vaquero. The iron hoe was found at a depth of 20in., was hoping I had found a storage pit but there were no other relics in the hole. Also found a couple of Indian made bracelets, a Dragoon button...

    another relic hunt with vaquero

    Went out searching an indian campsite yesterday with the Vaq. Found a nice civil war era Dragoon button, the side plate to a flint lock rifle, musket ball, pieces of a copper kettle and various other items. What surprised me was a mercury dime. This is a farm field that has been farmed for...

    Vaquero relic hunt

    I took my Vaquero out yesterday for a 3 hr. hunt in not so good conditions. The field was wheat stubble that had been chiseled and was real clumpy with a lot of stubble and grass. I did find some good artifacts though, a couple of complete iron pts., main spring from a muzzle loader, pewter...

    Vaquero very erratic at lake today

    Took the Vaq. to the lake today to check out a swimming area. The V worked okay for the first 30 min. or so, but than it started chirping and giving false signals. I had a brand new battery in it and I have detected this area before without any trouble. I had it super tuned at first but soon...

    Vaquero relics and coins

    Took the Vaquero out last week to look for some Historic Indian relics and then went across the road to search for a few more farm field coins. Searched for a couple of hrs. on the Indian site and found the bottom half of an iron arrow pt., part of a copper bracelet, a finger ring (stamped 18k...

    farm field silver with vaquero

    Went out to where an old farm once stood yesterday and found a few coins. In the past, I have found probably 30 to 40 coins in this field. This is one of the few homesteads that I search that produces alot of coins. It is a really trashy site but any time the farmer turns the soil I seem to...

    Took Vaquero back to lake

    Took my Vaquero back to the lake today and found a 14k mens wedding band. Two trips to the lake with the Vaq. and have found gold both times. It hit on several targets that were over a foot deep. Don't know what they were though because I gave up before I ever found them. I was out of the...

    vaquero ground balancing

    Let me see if I understand this correctly, if I balance the vaquero on the negative side it will pick up coins better and on the positive side it will hit on the gold better? Can't I have both with this detector? Don't get me wrong, so far I really like the vaquero, just trying to get the...

    Took Vaquero to the lake

    Decided to try the lake for my third hunt with the Vaquero. Went to a spot where alot of partys take place. Not a swimming area but I heard that alot of swimming takes place there. The lake is low due to drought, so I searched where I thought they might have been swimming. Found a few coins...

    2nd time out with Vaquero

    Went to a local park today to practice with my new Vaquero. I don't like hunting parks, too many people on nice days like today. I found the most secluded spot I could and detected for about an hour. Was surprised to find the Barber dime at a depth of only about 2 inches. Still not sure if...

    1st time out with new Vaquero

    Bought a Vaquero last week and took it out today to an Indian campsite circa 1865. I've made two previous trips with my Garrett 1500 and have found some nice artifacts. Today I hunted about 3 hrs. and found some round lead bullets, lead splatters, a couple of copper items and numerous square...

    relic hunting with a Vaquero

    Looking for a light weight relic machine and was wondering how the Vaquero works near power lines. I hunt on a historic Indian campsite that is located under some power lines. I currently use a Garrett GTI 1500 that works great under the lines. A great machine but get tired of swinging it after...

    Silver Sabre umax

    I have a Silver Sabre umax that I've had for a lot of yrs. Recently I noticed that the threshold was not making any sound. It still seems to detect coins as deep as it ever did. So I guess my question is, what is the purpose of the threshold? Clint
