    My first C.W. bullet?

    As I mentioned, I hunted an old C.W. site in Raleigh. I found what I think is a spent CW bullet and another bullet I cannot identify. I included a CW bullet someone gave me (left), the one I found that I think is a minie ball, and an unknown bullet. The authentic CW bullet and the one I...

    5.75 Widescan or Round concentric

    I am thinking of getting a smaller coil for my Vaq. I have the 9x8 stock and a SEF 10x12. What are the advantages or disadvantages of a 5.75 concentric versus a round widescan coil? Thanks, Andy from Hillsborough

    VDI, tone, beep--information and accuracy

    Just curious, aside from understanding the variations in a single tone machine, if you had to choose would you use a multiple tone machine, one with a visual ID, or a combination. In other words, which gives the most information and is the most accurate? Andy from Hillsborough

    short hunt today and became the clad King!

    I had a few hours to spare after getting a few bins of horse manure for my garden, so I decided to hunt a rural dairy store near my house. The store has some benches and a big lawn that kids play on and bicyclists sit on. Have hunted this several times before, but really hit the clad in a 1.5...

    small experiment

    It was such a beautiful day on Friday I decided to skip work and do my taxes! After 3 hours it was time to go metal detecting. Bad news to start--I went to the church conference retreat I usually hunt, and the director told me that he'd rather I not hunt there anymore as the field was getting...

    shotgun shells

    Anyone have any ideas why this shotgun shell Discs-out right above iron? It is the Western New Chief 10 gauge. Shouldn't brass or copper DISC above aluminium? Are these made with something else? Thx, Andy from Hillsborough (a.k.a. Homebre)

    Back to the pre-civil war home site.

    I posted about my lack of great finds compared to my friend when I went here a few weeks ago (post moved to Metal Detecting comparing Vaq. and another machine). Advice I got on this forum suggested I go back to my stock coil. I did that and spent about 3 hours there this morning. As you can...

    Beach Hunt Finished

    Well, the beach hunt was completed. It was in Englewood, Florida, and I only had two hours. I found out from one of the people on the beach, that is always hunted, as it is in the mist of a retirement community. I actually encouraged some of the people sitting on the beach to lose some...

    beach hunt

    Need some advice. I will have a chance to hunt an ocean beach later in the week with my Vaquero. I will not hunt the wet sand at the water's edge. Should I use the 9x8 stock coil or the 10x12 SEF coil? Also, what settings would one use--all metal, low DISC, High DISC? Supertune, lower...

    Thanks to all and an apology

    I want to thank all of you who have answered me concerning my hunt in the pre-civil war field with my "V'. I also wanted to apologize if I posted it in the wrong place as the moderator moved it to another Metal Detecting forum. I was not trying to knock Tesoro as I love my machine, but just...

    Vaquero vs. AT PRO

    Let me preface this by saying I love my Vaquero. Yesterday I want out with a friend who used an AT PRO. I was using a "V" with a 10x12 SEF butterfly coil. We were hunting a pasture that was a pre-civil war homestead. The pictures show a button and what I think is a keyhole latch, but need...

    Hunting a new place.

    It was a beautiful morning but I got out late--10 A.M. as I wanted to hunt an old park I only did a cursory job on. When I got there it was filled with little leaguers and tennis players along with many families with kids. That idea shot, I decided to hunt an aea near an old church that was...

    Old buckle

    Went out yesterday in beautiful 70 degree weather and got permission to hunt an old homestead. Found a lot of old iron of no real interest but found this buckle that looks to be iron and brass. It is about 1" in width and 0.5" wide. Anyone know anything about it? Also, hunted my usual...

    Electrolysis

    I have been doing electrolysis for about a year now, and my battery charger stopped working when I try this. The charger meter says that it is completely charged, so puts out no electricity. I think there is some kind of load protection so it always says charging but it won't do electrolysis...

    Another old ax-head

    Found another old ax head--this one near my property. I was wondering if it is very old and worth doing electrolysis on. It appears to be bend. Andy from Hillsborough

    First hunt after 2 weeks of rain and cold weather

    Finally got out again to try my "V" in the usually camp field where I do most of my hunting since it is close and productive. The ground was pretty wet and I do not know if this was the reason, but I kept hitting pulltab after pull tab or zincoln after zincoln with not much else but a nickel...

    Got my Propointer back

    Hope this is the correct place to post this, and if not I apologize. Just got my propointer back from repairs as the on-off switch wasn't holding at times and the sounds seemed to be weaker and less informational. It was under warranty and came back in 9 days in great shape working perfectly...
