    :usaflag: Is there anybody still using a 1220 out there?

    :detecting: I have a old 1220 and still like to take it to the tot-lots once in a while. I have not heard any body say much about one. I have had two 1220's and one 1210 and they were all good beginner machines. Bill in Texas

    :tesoro: Following myself

    :detecting: I would rather follow the other guys, than myself and I do most of the time. When I follow my own Vaquero I don't find much. I hunted this area a few weeks ago and thought I Must have left quite a bit, because I found quite a bit. The oldest coin is the nickel (1952). How does the...

    :usaflag:Unusual Searches

    :detecting: OK I will start this thread out. Here is three planned unusual detector searches that worked out very well for me. 1) Hunting arrows at a archery target range. I gave the ones back that had names on them (only two of them). 2) Hunting old window weights. I found I guess a 100 pounds...

    :usaflag: Bill and Nell - Just a hour at the school tot lot

    :usaflag: She had a little heart so I got the Yeng-Yang

    :detecting: The little cheap stone is the third one that I got at this tot-lot. What looks like a little sinker is really a small piece of jewelry that has been buried for a long time (about 5 inches deep). Quarter, 2 dimes and 6 pennies. A 1968 penny being the oldest. The six dog-tags were not...

    :usaflag: At last to the lake!!

    :twodetecting: Well I finely got out to the lake that was drained. It is a known place for people to swim off of the dam. In fact there are steps going into the lake from the dam so you can get in the water easy. It was drained for a couple of weeks before I got to go, but I was excited. I was...

    :usaflag: Vaquero Tone

    :detecting: I have noticed that On my V, when hunting in all metal I get a two very distinctive tones. One when hitting ferrous metal and one when hitting non ferrous.

    :usaflag: Even more Past Finds

    :look: Well I know it is too cold to hunt in a lot of places, so I thought that maybe you hunters would like to look at a few past finds. I would say that most of these rings came from garage sales (it been too long), but some of them were dug by me. I have about 4 times this many rings and...
