Rusty was not wrong in recommending the Vaquero. I bought mine from him and had a long talk with him about it before buying. All I know is that maybe there is something wrong with it or you just gotta keep usin it and getting the hang of it. Its a newer machine to you and time can help. That just doesn't sound right to me what's goin on. It really just depends where your putting the coil. If its there you should find it. I mean If you don't know exactly where the front yards of these houses were then you might be detecting right over where the foundations were which is leading to all the junk. You found some good stuff so far.. It'll get better

Kicking a not so dead Vaquero horse

Hey bud do yourself a HUGE favor and grab the 5.75 Widescan.
You can pick between the nails and increase the Disc enough to make a difference in how the nails do sound.
There is stuff there...but it's being masked by the mess around it and the larger coil can't handle it.
Gary
oh I edited this to toss something else at you that you could try.
When you hit at area that is crazy with junk ... Turn down your sens and lift your coil a few inches off the ground and hunt like that ..even if you
do not have the smaller coil yet you should be able to pick thru the trash a bit better.

This is why I got rid of my Cz-5. For several years I found ONE good find over 7". And I found a zincer at 8"! The weight on my arm made it collapse while I was hunting and when I picked up a Silver Sabre umax, I knew I wasn't going back. I would have gotten the Tejon if I was going for depth because of the dual disc. But if you find ONE humdinger of a find, you'll forget everything I've said!
This happened a couple years ago...and I'm 10000000% sure ............I ......dont remember. I run that detector as hot as I can all the time so I can pretty much say it was.
Here's a link to the story

You have to understand I removed so much trash and good coins from that yard before
that any signal that came thru as semi repeatable.... I dug. There are so many more items and coins in that yard I'll go back next year. I've pretty much given
the yard a year or so to relocate the items and shift them around a tad.

Only mode I wont ever be able to run there is AM.

Gary, I would have thought that being silver and that size, it would have been a good signal from the start. What made you decide to dig an iffy signal? This is the kind of info I am trying get to help me with my V. When talking to Rusty, he says if its a good target I will know it, but thats the point with an iffy target. I know I wont know what it is unless I dig it, but isnt that why we get discriminators? To try and eliminate iffy?
I know this technology is not perfect.
I know this technology is not perfect.
I dug an iffy signal because I had already dug everything else that gave a good signal.
Understand that the half dollar was almost a foot deep AND almost standing on edge under a root...
I think you need a lot more time in the saddle of that cowboy.....lol
Good morning btw.

I agree with Gary on this one. Sometimes it takes a while. There is a topic on this forum titled "the vaquero is finally speaking a language I can understand". That individual said it took like 6 months to fully figure out what the Vaquero is trying to say. I know it might seem like a lot of time, but the finds start speaking for themselves.
Hey Bill...Listen
Once you decide to grab another coil please dont rule out that 5.75 DD...I know alot of people say get the concentric... that's a good coil as well.
The little DD can really get inbetween the trash items when they are really close. You can slice thru the trash with it like a knife
As far as our suggestions such as "How do I" and "How can I" and "Need some input on"...Brother you are in the right place and feel free to ask anything you want.
You are surrounded by guys and gals that would love to do everything they can to help you enjoy your Tesoro and help you understand your machine.
In the end it takes you to put those headphones on and swing. Just take what we say... as things to keep in the back of your head while doing so.
Happy Hunting

Took the vaquero out today with the 5.75 concentric coil and found a lot of deeper iron. I was gettin to a point where I was concerned about the depth I would get on anything but iron because I wasn't findind anything else. So i made sure i groundbalanced, then I buried a penny about 6-7" down and made sure to cover the hole as well as I could. The penny was flat and I didn't get a single beep. I know the concentric doesn't go wicked deep, but I turned up the sensitivity as high as I could and the threshold to 3 o'clock. I turned the discrimination all the way down to before all metal and still didn't get the signal. I did get it when in all metal, but it was definitely faint. That kinda has me concerned on a signal I buried only like 7" down. This hasn't really happened before as it used to be deeper. I'm thinkin now I relle need to send it in. The coins I didn't manage to find today were only a few inches so I really hope I didn't miss a lot
If you have doubts....send in the control housing with the coil(s) in question and a note in the box detailing your questions and concerns.
I would call ahead and speak to someone to let them know it's coming or they may be able to give you the answers you seek without sending it in at all.
They will take care of you one way or the other...of that I'm sure.

You know Bobby, not too sure I would be really worried about the coin you buried. It has no ahalo around and seven inches of dirt over a fresh coin seems a bit to me. I truely understand your concern though, thats why I started this particular conversation. I am going to send mine in as soon as the weather sets in
