    Finally found some beach gold! It's been a while.:detecting:

    Hi All, Well, after about a two year period of not finding any gold I finally found some gold! The last three trips produced gold in fact. Well, I found two pieces of gold over the last three trips and my father found one. I did some research, low tech and high tech, and found two small...

    Anybody use a DD coil on the Cibola or Vaquero?

    Hi All, I'm thinking of getting a DD coil for my Cibola. Maybe the 8.5" round or maybe the 10" elliptical. If you've used one of the DD coils on either the Cibola or Vaquero what did you think of it? I only used DD coils for years and would like to try using one on my Cibola. The concentric...

    Slight warp in my 5.75" concentric coil. I wonder if that's bad.

    Hi all, I have the 5.75" concentric coil for my Cibola and I noticed something funny about it today. I took it off the staff and set it down on a flat table top and it wobbled when I set it down. Weird. So I rocked it from side to side and noticed that there's 1/8" to 3/16" (estimated) warp...

    YouTube video of guy using a Silver uMax.

    I found this video of a guy using a Silver uMax. Not real interesting (he finds a horseshoe) but he does show some other neat stuff that he's found at the end of the video: YouTube Silver uMax Video

    First silver with the Cibola.

    Hi All, I've had the Cibola for a couple weeks now and I've been hitting local school yards and parks. I have found a ton of clads but until yesterday I hadn't found any jewelry. I did some research about parks in my area and found one with two, big sand filled tot lots with play equipment. I...

    Question about Silver Umax iron discrimination.

    I'm curious about the iron discrim on the Silver Umax. There's a video on the Tesoro site that shows that when the Silver Saber discriminates iron, it silences any audio signal on an iron target which is kind of neat. I wonder if the Silver Umax does the same thing or if it's more like the...

    Is there anybody ~not~ finding gold?:huh:

    I've been watching the posts of people who are getting some great gold jewelry on the beaches. I love seeing all the pics of big gold rings and such because it's inspiring. I haven't found gold on a beach for about two years. Tons of clad and a fair number of pieces of silver jewelry but no...

    Strange threshold sound on my new Cibola.

    Hi All, I got my new Cibola a couple days ago and yesterday took it to a new spot to see what it could do. I found a lot of clads which was fun. One thing was kind of strange though. With the frequency switch in the center position I could get what is probably a normal threshold tone. It...

    My Cibola is on the way!

    It should be here by Wednesday. I already have several new spots scouted and I'm going to go back and hit some old spots with it next week. I'm very excited. It's fun being a metal detecting geek.

    Anyone have experience with the 'Goldmaster GM3'?

    Hi All, My father has a GM3 that he hasn't used much so I've started using it. It's a great machine so far but I am a little confused about a couple of the controls. The manual that came with the GM3 sucks. Whoever wrote it basically said about the v-sat control that they don't really know how...

    Thinking of selling my Sovereign XS. Any idea on a fair price?

    Hi All, My Sov has done me well over the years but I just don't need it anymore. I have an Excalibur for beach and water and I'm soon to buy a different land detector for hunting parks and ghost towns. The Sov will probably just end up on a shelf collecting dust. The whole package is the...

    Ready to buy a Cibola. Dealer recommendations?

    I finally am ready to order a Cibola. Who are some good dealers to order Tesoro detectors from? Thanks.

    What features would you like to see on a new model of Excalibur?

    I've been using an Excalibur for about ten years. Been thinking about what Minelab could do to improve the detector. I'd like to see the housing for the electronics footprint shrunk and the shape changed. Maybe a more squareish housing which is a little more hydrodynamic for swinging side to...

    Cibola owners, have you had any problems with mineralization?

    Hi All, I've been reading that the Cibola may not work well in heavily mineralized soil since it's a fixed GB machine. What's interesting to me is this link to 'Gary's Detecting', a UK detecting website, where they say that the Cibola handles "badly mineralised soil" very well. If you scroll...

    Looking for opinion on Sunray 'Ultra Depth' 12" solid coil.

    Hi All, I found a used 'Ultra Depth' 12" coil for sale. I use a SovereignXS, mostly for beach hunting, and I'm wondering if I could get a little extra depth over my 11" Coinsearch coil by using the 12". It looks like an older model since it is solid and not the current open loop design. The...

    Which Vaquero coils are best for coin hunting?

    Hi All, Long post, sorry. I'm ready to buy a Vaquero. I'm going to use it primarily for hunting for coins and relics around ghost towns. I expect there to be lots of iron junk in the places I plan to hunt and everything I've read indicates that the Tesoro machines are great in such...

    Looking for numbers for gold coins on Sunray meter.

    Hi All, I use a Sov XS with a Sunray DTI II meter. I'm hoping that someone who has a Sov and the same meter might have numbers for $5, $10, and $20 gold pieces. There's a location where some guys found quite a few gold coins back in the 80's and I have the opportunity to go work the area. I...
