I Googled it and found several pictures of mint ones. It is about the size of a nickle. It has "THE HISTORY CHANNEL...

    Toltec 100

    Well I have not stuck my nose in here for a while now, so here goes. A vaquero is my main hunting machine, but I like to hunt with a older Tesoro once in a while. A while back I picked up a Toltec 100. It was running OK, but just not up to what I thought it should, so I sent it in for a tune up...

    :usaflag: Why the coins?

    :detecting: I am suppose to be a jewelry hunter, so why all the coins, Hmmmm. The 4 items next to the quarter are parts of a broken silver necklace. I dug very little junk this time, but a Quarter, nickel, dime and a bunch of pennies. It was a strange hunt. Bill in Texas :tesoro:

    :confused: Dog Gone

    :cry: I Can't speak for others, but I don't think the Tesoro forum is close to being the same without Tabdog. I really miss his stories and pictures. He really promoted metal detecting here. Bill in Texas :tesoro:

    :usaflag: Two a hunting in harmony!

    :twodetecting: My wife and I went for a short hunt this morning and I proved that the eye is quicker than the detector. It had rained about 5 inches in a couple days last week. There were some small washes where I looked and the running water uncovered a few finds for me. Nell

    :usaflag: Vaquero depth

    :detecting: I just did some air testing with my Vaquero and found out something interesting. It has better depth with a fresh battery than with 2/3 used up ones (by my battery meter or 3 beeps on the detector). It still run smoothly, but just does not get as much depth. With fresh battery I get...
