    Spanning nine decades in 2 hours

    Took the ATPro out to a new spot tonight. Actually, it's a spot I detected 27 years ago with my Freedom 2 Plus but I never went around the boulevards back then. We had a nice long rain yesterday so the ground was very nice to dig in. Anyway, I dug 39 coins and a bit of trash, and managed to find...

    Tesoro die hard has gone over to the dark side

    I finally got a chance to pick up my ATPro that I purchased from Richard a couple of weeks ago. This thing looks brand new, hardly even any scratches on the bottom of the coil. Anyway, I didn't know what to expect because my last Garrett was a GTI2500 and it was, well to be polite let's just say...

    Garrett Z-Lynk on a Tesoro

    I just added this to my Deleon, and I'm giving it two thumbs way up. I cannot perceive any difference over being plugged into the machine. Just thought I would mention that for anyone on the fence. I believe it's a worthwhile investment. Dan

    New coil on my Deleon

    I bought the new 11x8 widescan coil and got out with it for about an hour after work today. I went to a neighbourhood school that has been closed for years, and a place I've hit regularly when testing new machines. There is a small front yard that has produced 80 coins and a silver ring. I...

    Lots of F75's

    I notice that there seems to be a variety of F75 models available. The F75LTD, the F75SE, the F75 anniversary edition and the F75 gold edition. I notice the gold edition seems to be discounted, Is it the same F75 that came out years ago? Or does the gold edition have new features over the...

    Compadre validates the Deleon

    There is a hill at a local park that has produced two silver rings and numerous coins with my Deleon. Today I thought I would set my Compadre at foil and meticulously search for anything I may have missed with the Deleon. I dug lots of pulltabs, can slaw, a couple of zincs and other assorted...

    Deleon does well in 2014

    Okay, I'm calling it quits for the year. Winter is starting to show it's ugly face. Here is what I found in 2014. 90% of this was with the Deleon. Total coins: 4058 Toonies ($2) 24 Loonies ($1) 127 Quarters 296 Dimes 412 Nickels 205 Pennies 2994 Total...

    First Texas detectors

    We all know that FT makes Fisher, Teknetics and Bounty Hunter. Now it seems that the Bounty Hunter line contains some detectors that seem more like they should be part of the Fisher or Teknetics line, for example, the Land Ranger Pro. It seems to me that with the same designers and manufacturing...

    Is there a 10" coil for the LRP?

    Never liked the 11" DD. I find it loves bottle caps too much. The 10" worked like a champ on my F5. Is there a 10" available for the LRP? BTW... I cannot believe the amount of features available in a machine at this price point. I might have to get one just to play with.

    Deleon finds the 1000th coin tonight...

    ...in the latest park I am hunting. I started this park in the middle of September and it's just loaded with coins ranging from the late 40's to the 70's. Unfortunately only 1 silver quarter and one silver piece of jewellry so far but I'm confident I will find more. There is still so much more...

    Trade a mint Tejon for...

    Just throwing this out there to see what happens... The Tejon works great and is in mint shape. It also comes with the 5.75" concentric coil and rod. Just not using it, and with the shorter days, I would like to trade it for something with a backlight. My first choice would be a Cortes, but I...

    Deleon scores more silver!

    It was a good weekend for detecting. Nice crisp Autumn air, mosquitoes are gone, and lots of coins. Dug over 100 this weekend and found a couple pieces of silver jewellry. Still loving the Deleon.

    The Deleon does it again, on a number of levels

    Today was an epic detecting day with my Deleon. First, I dug 121 coins in 3.5 hours. That's a personal best, if amount of coins means anything. I had dug close to 100 before, but this is my most productive outting. Too bad there were so many pennies, but that's how it goes. Secondly, I snagged...

    Deleon continues to impress with more silver

    I went out this morning to focus on an area of a park that I was starting to think was done producing. I picked a small area and went slow and methodical. Results? I dug 70 coins in 2 1/2 hours including my 15th silver of the year. Love my Deleon!!

    Deleon: How low do you go?

    I'm still working on my first set of batteries. I can't believe the battery life I'm getting! The meter is down to three blocks. How low do you Deleon users go before replacing the batteries? On another note, the Deleon found another silver quarter today, at 9" deep. That's my 10th silver of...

    Deleon finds another ring, but...

    Was thrilled to find yet another in a long line of great finds with the Deleon. However, when I cleaned up the ring, I see the stamp "VVV925". I suspect that it is only silver plated. Can anyone confirm that? Was still great to find, and is the 4th ring this year with the amazing Deleon. It's...

    Deleon, does it get any better than this?

    Scored two more silver coins this morning and 2 rings. One was silver, and the other was junk. Also dug 91 other coins. I've found 6 silver coins and 2 silver rings so far this year, and all but 2 coins were found with the Deleon. It has the sweetest audio of all my Tesoros, depth that matches...

    Tejon worked like a champ today!

    2 Silvers today! A 1940 quarter, and a religious medallion (says "sterling" on it). Also found other religious items, and an indian arrowhead unearthed digging a target. All this within an hour. Not pictured is a massive pocket spill of over $5 in change. Should mention the silver medallion was...

    Outlaw coming!

    Gotta try it. Just got to. And as a bonus, I can use the coils on my Deleon. :clapping:

    Vaquero scores WW1 badge

    This is why I detect. This is better than silver, better than gold!! WW1 was a big piece of Canadian history, so it's especially rewarding to find something like this. This is the second WW1 metal/badge that I have found over the years. Here is some background information...
