    Combat Masterpiece

    Throwing this out there to see what interest there may be. I have a 1966 Smith &Wesson model 18-2 22LR Combat Masterpiece in beautiful condition. These have been selling from $590 to $900. With the higher price being new in box, and the lower nowhere near this condition. I am asking $700. If...

    ???Vaquero???

    For the last couple of months I have beat myself up popping zinc pennies. I get the occasional dime,nickel or quarter but the V has been a magnet for zinc. Last fall and throughout the semi-mild winter I hit the yard of an old house at least 20 times, maybe more, with both the stock coil and...

    1 little, 2 little, 3 little......oh, shut up!

    Got permission to hunt a house today. Cant find any info on age and the owner really had no idea. It sits next to a lot that I noticed for the first time has an ancient set of stairs going up an embankment. Honestly cant say if they were meant to go up to a road or down to a house. Further...

    Widescan question

    Went out yesterday to a school built in 1907. Didn't find anything old but did pick up a quarter, 5 dimes, 2 nickels and 15 Penny's. I was using the Vaquero with the 5.75 DD. The DD has a red dot towards the toe of the coil. When I first got this coil I used the dot as a pinpoint reference. I...

    Nailed it!

    Spent a couple of hours at our oldest park here with the Vaquero. 56 acres, started around 1880. Used to have Chinese farmers farming both sides of the creek running through it. Went in with the idea of listening for old deep coins, out around the outer fringes where others with detectors may...

    A nice surprise!!

    A week or so ago I posted a picture of what I thought was an Indian Head I found with the Vaquero. It was under "Cowboy ropes 'em in. " The coin had been punched or used as a washer. Its been bugging me because something didn't look right. Went in and took a long look tonight with pictures next...

    Chance for a Compadre

    Someone has a Compadre on our local selling site. It looks to be older, but I dont know how old by the picture. The speaker is round, no louvers. They are wanting under a hundred, but I think I can get a better price. Any ideas on age? Is it worth it?

    Vaquero current draw

    Does anybody know how much maH draw is on the Vaquero? I charged my batteries last night and they lasted 2-3 hours today. They are only 2 months old and should last me all day. I know I'll get asked the question when I take them back. Just curious. Thanks for any info you have.

    The Cowboy ropes 'em in.

    Went out this AM to a house built in 1901. The first signal was a Wheat.Then a '52 Roosevelt, then a 1908 V nickel and 6 more wheats. Oh baby, we found the lost herd!! Really had hopes of some barber coinage, but alas,no. By the time I broke for lunch I had gotten the above, plus a '36...

    A nice morning hunt

    Have been eyeballing an abandoned house directly across the river from where I work for close to ten years now. Decided today to stop and hit the front yard, I didnt have any hopes of finding much as this place is on a busy road and figured it had to have been hunted before. Took the V with the...

    Pennys,pennys and more pennys

    Spotted a boarded up house yesterday. No keep out signs so I hit it todays with the V. First signal in the small side yard was a wheat. For the next 40 mins, every good signal is a wheat penny. I was there for 1 1/2 hrs, came home with 12 wheats and 7 early 60's pennys. No nickles, no silver...

    I see Gold! update....

    Had my wife take the ring to a jeweler today. He said it is the strangest thing he's ever seen. It appears to him that it is possibly brass on the outside, gold on the inside. It has been worn for so long the sides and bottom have worn to the point that the jeweler didnt feel comfortable trying...

    I see GOLD!

    Went over to the hard pounded site of the coming new freeway today with the Vaquero and the 5.75 DD. Went to a lot that had half a dozen homes from about 1901-1905 at one time. I was really hoping to find a couple of missed Indians or a piece of silver. Was only finding zinc Lincolns...again...

    A Frenchman, a Brazilian and a Chinaman

    Sat down under a tree and had lunch. At least thats my story about how the coins got there. Took the V out this weekend, today I used the stock 9x8 and found a 1966 one franc, a 1967 brazilian 10 centavos, and I dont read chinese so cant tell you what the last coin is. All within 3 feet of each...

    8" Concentric donut

    Ok, so I am trying to find out why some of you use the 8" donut on your Vaquero or other H.O.T. machine. What makes this coil better than the stock 9x8? Is it worth getting? Thanks for any input. Bill
