High or Low Tone on the Vaquero/Cibola? HOW TO TELL??

[fraze]

Hi all, I've just picked up a Vaquero, it's in mint condition and I'm super happy with it, but I can't figure out if it's the "High tone" or low tone model? On the outside of the box label says VAQUERO W/SCUFF ROHS TONE CHANGE"

I've checked Youtube but nobody has a comparison or demo of the higher tone. Any ideas?

I heard or people getting a "tone change" to the higher tone. So it's a safe bet that it's the high tone. My Vaquero is the high tone and I think that I like the lower tone better. When I get my Eldorado back I'm going to do a side by side comparison to see which tone I like better.

BTW you're going to love your Vaquero. It's really fun to use.

Standard tone is low tone. If it is tone changed, that means it is high tone.

Is there a serial number on the box? If the serial number on the box matches the serial number on the detector, and the box is marked Tone Change, then it should be a high tone.

If you have a dealer near by who has a demonstrator that is low tone, compare it to what you have.

Thanks for the tips guys, the serial matches so I guess it's a high tone. Sounds fine to me, but it's far too loud for my taste. Now I'm looking for a 1/4 to 1/8" adapter and a pair of earbuds with an inline volume control!
Soon I'll be able to upload a video on Youtube for the next person to ask this question.

Slightly off topic, but the shouldn't a Canadian quarter be detectable from more than, say, 5" in air testing?

(EDIT - OK, so I didn't bother to read the manual before posting. Adjusted the threshold, getting massive distance in air test.)

Now to dig up the garden and plant some coins!!
