    Do any of you randomly search wooded areas?

    Just go into the woods? No house foundations or anything? If you have , were you successful? Ive been trying it and found a few newer coins one was a Kennedy half.

    Vaquero in all metal mode ?

    Ive been putting in a lot of time with my new vaquero. I have a question that is not in the owners manual. In all metal mode the machine makes two different sounds. They are different pitches. What is it trying to tell me? Are the higher pitches usually junk?
