    Tesoro Vaquero:tesoro::usaflag: The Testing Continues:detecting:

    I hit the ole site again today to do some testing with the Vaquero. I used the same settings that I used yesterday. I didn't do as well today, but I had a great time. I kept telling myself to stop thinking about and looking for a gold ring and let it come to me. It seems that the harder I try...

    Tesoro Vaquero Maiden Voyage:tesoro::usaflag: Wishful Gold

    I thought I'd give the Vaquero a workout today to see how it would do. I put on my 8 inch special doughnut coil to start with. I set the discrimination to the point where a Gatorade sports drink foil cap just discriminates out, set the threshold to a slight hum, ground balanced to a slight...

    Tesoro Cibola :tesoro::usaflag: Daily Double:smile:

    I'm really liking this modded Cibola. You can see my settings in the picture below. I had the threshold set to a slight hum, the discrimination was set where Gatorade sports foil caps just break up, sensitivity was wide open, ground balance was set to a slight negative response. The Cibola was...

    Tesoro Cibola :tesoro::usaflag: My Personal Best

    This is the most cars that I've ever found in one day. I found them at a local park in a sand pit where little kids play. Some were a foot or so deep. I made a few rounds to look for a gold ring, but I didn't have any luck. I figure with that many pull tabs there just has to be a gold ring...

    Tesoro Cibola :tesoro::usaflag: Finds A Sterling Horseshoe In The Clover:detecting:

    I almost didn't go this morning, because yesterday just about wore me out and my sinuses were acting up. I got to the site late and only detected for about 2 hours because I wasn't feeling too spry. I did manage to find a Sterling Pendant, 3 Wheat Pennies (1947, 1959, 1942), 3 Buffalo Nickels...

    Tesoro Cibola:tesoro::usaflag: On The Rampage:detecting:

    I've been cooped up for about a week with all this rain and with my car being in the shop, so hit it like a Banshee Indian this morning. It was muddy but I was happy to be out swinging my new modded Cibola again. I got off to a slow start, but I finally started finding a bunch of wheat pennies...

    AT Pro :garrett: Dirty Money :detecting:

    I got a early start this morning to beat the heat. I went back to a old site that I have detected before to see if I could find some more good stuff. The settings on the AT Pro with the 5 x 8 inch coil was Pro Zero with the sensitivity set at one bar down from its highest setting and there was...

    The Tesoro Cibola Keeps On Giving :tesoro::usaflag::detecting:

    I went back over some spots that I detected a couple of days ago. This time I took my time and went really slow. Sure enough, out pops even more silver coins. It pays to slow down when swinging Tesoro detectors. Their recovery speed is blazing fast and can handle a fast sweep speed, but they...

    Taking A Few Swings With The Tesoro Tejon/NEL Sharpshooter Coil :tesoro::usaflag::detecting:

    So far so good with this match-up. They seem to work pretty good together. I'm getting good coverage with each sweep of the coil. I'm pleased with the depth and separation. However the Sharpshooter coil's discrimination is not as good as the 8 inch doughnut coil or the 5.75 inch concentric coil...

    I'm Having A Ball With My New Tesoro Cibola:tesoro::usaflag::detecting:

    I had high hopes of finding some silver coins today. I put the 8 inch doughnut coil on the Cibola and set the discrimination on foil and started swinging away. I was finding wheat pennies all over the place (1917, 1941,1944, 1919, 1924, 1954, 1928, 1941, 1919, 1929, 1928, 1931, 1929, 1950...

    I Took My New Modded Cibola Out On A Relic Hunt Today :tesoro::usaflag:

    I waited the rain out and headed off to an old site to do some relic hunting. I first started out with 5.75 inch concentric coil, but ended up putting the 8 inch doughnut coil on. It wasn't trashy enough that the doughnut coil couldn't handle it and I wanted a little more coverage and depth. My...

    I Got A Modded Tesoro Cibola Headed My Way:tesoro::usaflag::thumbup:

    It has a 10 turn ground balance pot and a 3-way trigger. I can't wait to give it a workout. The first thing that I'm going to do is put a 5.75 inch concentric coil on it and head out to a terrific location that's has some jewelry and old silver coins waiting on me to find and dig. There's...

    F75SE :fisher:A Buffalo Nickel And 5 Pieces Of Silver The Hard Way:detecting:

    I headed out to an old park this morning in hopes of finding some silver. I knew it was going to be perfect for detecting, because it rained a lot yesterday and some last night. The front also brought in some cooler weather. I managed to find 4 Wheat Pennies (1917, 1954, 19??, 1940), a 1909...

    AT Pro :garrett: Wheat Pennies Everywhere :detecting:

    I got a early start this morning and headed back to a location that has been good to me. I wasn't there long before someone noticed that I shouldn't be there and asked me to leave. I hit another old location that has been hunted to death and saw Jim swinging away. I worked it for awhile before...

    Fisher :fisher:F75SE Brings Home The Silver:detecting:

    I was dragging butt again this morning and didn't get to the site until around 9:45. I thought I would try out a new site today to see what I could dig up. After digging a couple of wheat pennies I knew that there had to be some silver there as well. It didn't take long before I popped my first...

    White's Classic ID SL:whites: First Impression

    I saw a Classic ID SL with a 8 inch coil for sale here locally at a great price, so I thought I'd give it try. It hits really good on high conductors and fair on low conductors. I like the 3-way switch where you can lock it into the forward position and search in all metal. It's factory preset...

    Garrett AT Pro:garrett: Coil Weights

    All the coil weights were taken with the coil covers and lower rods. Garrett 5 x 8 Inch DD Coil: 15.7 oz. NEL Sharpshooter Coil (5.5 x 9.5): 1 lb. 2.3 oz. Garrett Stock DD Coil ( 8.5 x 11): 1 lb 6.9 oz. The rod attachment point on the Sharpshooter being in the center of the coil gives it a...

    Garrett AT Pro :garrett: Here Comes The Rain :detecting:

    I got a late start this morning, but I did managed to find a couple of silver coins before the rain started. I was using the 5 x 8 DD coil and running full sensitivity in the pro zero mode. My first piece of silver was a 1912 Barber Dime and it gave a good high tone. The second piece of silver...
