    Finally got the hang of it.......

    I found some decent ground where I could work with the ground balance. I finally got it......now to practice getting quick at it. I had not intended on staying out today but since I actually picked up on some targets I started digging them. Picked up some clad. Set the discrimination one mark...

    Sunday with the Vaquero

    The rain stopped early this morning. I took off to another smaller park near me and gave the machine another work out. Picked up $7.25 in clad and what a surprise when out of all the pennies I dug I came across a 1919 Wheat Cent. Thats unusual for around here since most of these parks are...

    Took the Vaquero out to the park

    The rain stoped so I took the Vaquero out for a spin. Its going to take a bit of getting used to. I balanced like the manual said, but finding a spot with no metal wasn't easy. The first hour I set the threshold where I could hear it in the back ground. Its about as annoying as listening to the...

    My Vaquero came today but.....

    My Vaquero came today but its been raining like crazy here so can't take it out today. It put together really easy. Its SO simple to understand. The customer service people at Tesoro (Cacy) answered some questions for me. Very good customer service skills. Look forward to taking the machine out...

    10x14DD excellerator....got it today

    The 10x14DD excellerator came today. Dispite the steady drizzel I took it out to a park to test it out. I found that because its so big it wants to change its position on the detector, but I tightened the plastic connectors really tight and parcticed pinpointing.Trying to pinpoint off the tip...

    A good quarter day at the park....

    The quarters just would not stop ringing up. Other people have been there but they just arn't finding the clad. I have to wonder what kind of detectors they have or if they even know how to use them. Found what at first I thought was a pill box or something but upon prying the lid open saw that...

    I went with the Vequero

    I should have it in my hands in a couple days. Can't wait to take it out to the park and break it in. Then I'll go back to this old town I've been working and see how it does rthere. Thanks for all the help in making this decision. I'll keep you posted. Katz

    It was a quarter day at the park

    I took the Ace to the park and seemed to hit nothing but quarters and dimes and a handful of pennies. The Ace isn't really that good on nickels it seems to me. Also picked up a small watch. When it first came out of the ground I thought it was a pill box but closer examination told me to open...

    Before I go out and buy......

    Before I go out and buy the Silver uMax, I need to ask the experts here about the Cibola. I've seen the two on the Tesoro website and read the field reports, but I'd rather hear from you all who have owned it. It seems to be the same as the Silver except that it has a pinpoint, three frequency...

    Early Tuesday morning hunt....

    Got up with the birds this morning (5:00) and went to a sports field thinking there would be enough light from the fields lamp lights to MD. Not so. I still MDed but had to use the light from my Pro-pointer to see what the display read and to shine into the hole. It worked out ok. Picked up...

    I'm curious about...........

    The MXT is the best machine, in my opinion, out there, and I seldom hear anything going wrong with them. I bought mine used, so I don't know HOW the previous used it, if he abused it or what. Twice my LCD went out on me and the graphics changed into some aliend looking script. Its on its way to...

    Curious about nickels .....silver content?

    I didn't know that from 1942 to 1945 nickels were made with silver content and called SILVER nickels. "I got curious and looked this up on the internet and found this. Very interesting stuff. http://wiki.answers.com/Q/When_did_they_stop_making_silver_nickels...

    Whats your experience with.........

    What has been your experience with MDing along the banks of creeks running through or near small out of the way towns? Katz

    Question for all you 10x14 users

    Usually the bigger coils pick up on the larger relics and miss the smaller items like coins etc. Is this correct? If I buy the 10x14 am I going to miss out on the smaller items like coins just to get more depth? What has been your experiences with this coil so far. Kellyco still has the coil...

    MXT giving me problems

    The LCD screen is jibberish. Sometime when I turn on the machine, the LCD screen doesn't come on at all, but I can hear the targets going off under my coil. This happened last year and I sent it to this guy in IL, who works for whites. He replaced the LCD and it worked fine for a short time...

    No silver today but.......

    I returned to the old town and got permission from this young fellow to let me MD his yard. Its right next to an Old Hotel. I has asked for permission to MD that but was turned down. Turns out this young fellow owns the small strip of property that butts up against the south wall. He came out...

    Back to old town but no silver

    I drove back to the old town I've been MDing. I asked this young fellow if I could detect around his house. See attached photo of an old Hotel built next to his house in the 1900's.I called the realtor who is selling the hotel and asked permisson to MD but they said no. It turns out this young...
