    Probably a dumb question, but will a control box cover for a simplex plus fit on a simplex ultra? Thanks.

    tot lot silver and gold

    I took my vaquero with the 6 in. concentric coil out to a few tot lots last Wed. Sure glad I did because the next four days my area experienced rain and freezing rain. Been really miserable weather here. I was able to find about five dollars in clad, a 10k ring with a cz stone, and a...

    how many U.S. dollar coins do you clad hunters usually find in a year?

    Just curious because so far this year I have found 14, which seems like a lot. I've found about $300 in clad. I know our Canadian friends find lots of dollar coins but here in the states, it's not that common. At least not for me.

    lake hunt with vaquero

    Took my vaquero to the lake a couple days ago and found a few things the other detectors missed. They have pretty much cleaned off the beaches but if you turn the disc way down and dig all signals you can still find the small stuff. The white gold band is 10k and there were a couple of silver...

    Just when I thought tot lots were a waste of time....

    I find an 18k women's ring. For the most part I have very little luck in tot lots. I usually can't even find a dollars worth of change. I did find a small 10k ring last year in one but that is about it. Have found a little bit of silver but not much. I've been thinking of posting something...

    Been using my Silver Sabre micro max

    A couple of months ago, I sent my silver sabre mm to Tesoro after I noticed my detector wouldn't detect in wet grass without chattering really bad. I bought the detector back in 1998 but after 17yrs. and 3 moves I could not find a sales reciept. I sent it in and explained my situation, fully...

    old watch fob

    Found this watch fob at one of our local high schools. Must have been an old house there years ago because I find a few old items in one certain spot. The ground is almost to hard to dig in but sure glad I dug this target. It's an Advance-Rumely Thresher Co. watch fob. One side shows the...

    a silver ring and big gold

    Found this stuff last Fri. but have not been able to transfer photos with my camera. Detected a couple of local parks with my tesoro vaquero and ended up having an awesome day. Day started slow but finally found the silver ring and a couple bucks in change. I felt like that was a decent day, so...

    Took out the Silver Sabre micro max

    Decided to hit a practice soccer field yesterday before work. Took out my old Silver Sabre micro max and it performed quite well. Found a couple of .925 silver earrings, 14k gold religious medallion and a couple bucks in change. When I got home and went through the change, I found a badly...

    Indian relics

Found a really nice iron pt., part of an Indian made copper bracelet, a broken lice comb which was a common trade item to the Indians, 3 musket balls and a 14in. section of a .50 cal. gun barrel. This was...

    Indian relics from an 1850's campsite

    Been hitting this site hard for the last 13 or 14 yrs., but it still produces relics. It is definately getting harder to find stuff though. Did find a nice frizzen from a flintlock, a piece of a serpent sideplate, a brass ring that had been flattened out and broke when I tried to straighten...

    another farm field hunt with the vaquero

    Went to another farm field last Friday that I have hunted many times over the years. It's another one that is loaded with iron but has produced some good coins in the past. I found 2 two cent pieces here many years ago and am always hoping to find more but never do. The Indian head cent was in...

    more ks. farm field finds

    Took the vaquero out yesterday and hunted a farm field where an old farm stead once stood. Have found alot of coins on this site over the years but it always seems to give up a few more each time I hunt it. Ground is loaded with iron but the vaquero seems to work its way around it. I use the...

    your typical ks. farm field finds

    Took my Vaquero and drove 75 miles to hunt some farm fields where old farms once stood. I get there and find that the soybean fields I was wanting to hunt had not been cut. Eventually found a field I had hunted many yrs. ago which had the beans off of it. Didn't find much but what I did find...

    silver and old token

    Went to an old park yesterday found lots of clad, a silver ring, a crusty old wheat cent and a token. Usually don't find anything old in this park anymore but got lucky on the wheatie and token. Didn't know anything about the token until I googled it. They said it is from the early 20th...

    vaquero sensitivity

    On another metal detecting forum someone stated that the main mistake new Vaquero users make, is using too much sensitivity. He goes on to state that you should keep it around 6 in most soils for greater depth. Has anyone else found this to be true?

    silver sabre umax

    Went to a local sports field that has been beat to death this summer by myself and numerous other detectors. Decided to use my silver sabre umax and work along the chain link fences. I can't remember the last time that I used this detector but I must say I was impressed how it worked up...

    Took the old reliable gti 1500 out today

    Took the 1500 out today for a little coin hunting. I've had this detector for 14 or 15 yrs., I believe I bought it in 1999. The only trouble I ever had with it was cracked battery packs but Garrett replaced them for free. I found two silver dimes and a couple bucks in clad today so it was a...

    sterling silver

    I found this sterling silver cross the other day that read like a pull tab. Was just wondering why some sterling silver comes in as pull tabs while other sterling silver is more like a silver coin. Is it due to size and shape? I've found sterling silver rings that also read as pull tabs...

    worn out SLQ / I need a Genie

    This is the fourth one I've ever found and none have had a date. It's not fair, Tabman finds silver in pristine condition. Also found another tootsie toy and a dollar coin.
