return to a lot that always produces allot of finds

[Texas Ted]

always find allot of stuff on this lot. not finding many old coins yet have found a few in past trips here, every trip i find a few oldies. I have found old buttons the best being a general service confederate button. the bullet i found today is a WW1 bullet says u.s.c.co. 18 stamped where the primer is. found a couple of older buttons today also. I like finding the older relics more than i do the coins but its all good

[Texas Ted]

Beep and dig machines. Tesoro tejon, Tesoro Vaquero, and Troy X3

 

[broadestpower]

That dosen't even take into account the garbage digs!

 

[broadestpower]

Great finds, what kind of old coins did you pull out of there on this particular hunt?

 

[William-NM]

Nice haul! What kind of dates are you digging?

Thanks friends

 

[Texas Ted]

I don't dig much garbage, unless there is a bunch of smashed cans, those always sound like a good target. I can pretty much tell what pull tabs and screw caps sound like.

on this hunt no old coins found. but was only out for about 4 hours. dates are 60's on up. previous hunts have only produced one silver barber dime, wheat cents oldest 1918 and lots of tokens. some German coins also. There use to be alot of germans in the community im told. in total over 500 coins out of this lot so far, 40 tokens, 5 rings 2 of them silver. other 3 junk but saved them. A couple of knives one worth $100 in condition it is in according to what i found on the internet. There is alot of trash on this lot, i don't think it has ever been hunted much. Wich is surprising for the location. One day i am going to start digging everything and get all the junk out and see what i can really find.

Looks like the area keeps you busy. What are your thoughts on the Vaquero vs the Tejon? I have the Vaquero and love it but been thinking about picking up a Tejon. Thanks

 

[Texas Ted]

I like the Tejon better. it has a faster recovery time and will pick up a coin under iron the Vaquero won't.

Ted,
I pulled 2 wheats out of a hole after getting an old nail. Not sure if the V was hitting on the nail or the wheats. This thing sure loves iron.
