Tesoro Cibola :tesoro::usaflag: Oh Yeah Baby! - White Gold:detecting:

[tabman]

I met Taylor early this morning at a vacant rental house that was built in 1938. The weather was a nice cool 22 degrees with a sunny sky and calm winds. Not too bad if you kept moving and stayed in the sun. I started the day off with the At Pro. The site was really super trashy and nothing much sounded good so I was digging a lot of iffy signals and so was Taylor. It didn't take me long before had a 1948 Rosie corned near the service walk to the front porch. That's my 5th silver coin and it's day 5 for 2015. We only hunted 4 hours and 3 of those hours was spent swinging the AT Pro. For some reason it was having a bad time with all the trash and it's audio wasn't calming, so I decided to switch detectors. I pulled out my modded Cibola. Here are my settings: discrimination set to just where a Gatorade Sports Drink Foil Cap discriminates out, threshold set to a sight hum, a little negative on the ground balance and full sensitivity. It was smooth running with those settings and whole lot easier on the ears and nerves. Very peaceful.Towards the end of the hunt I crossed the street to work a grassy area between the curb and sidewalk. I popped a few coins, including a some really old wheat pennies (1956, 1917, 1956, 1919, 1916, 1941 ). About midway down the grassy strip I got a nice round smooth audio tone. Noway was I not going to dig this one. I dug down about 3 or 4 inches and popped a 10kp white gold wedding band. Taylor heard me yell out that I found a ring and came over to take a look. He ran his Deus coil over the ring to see if it was gold or silver and it wouldn't detect it. He checked with another program and it came in below nickel so we figured it must be gold. I learned a valuable lesson today. If I had the discrimination set just a hair higher, the Cibola wouldn't have made a peep and I would have walked right over that gold ring.

Tab congradulations on one of the hardest typ of rings to find --WHITE GOLD- so often when foil is disced out you can loos the white gold that is a nice home run on that one I am impressed, man you got me fired up .to get out .

Great recovery on that ring! I would have never seen it unless most of my notch was gone - which at these types of sites, is almost never! You never know what those curb strips will turn up!

good way to start the year.

Thanks. I remember you doing some testing on white gold ring in one of your great videos. Now that I got a white gold ring, I can do some testing on my own.

Tesoro detectors sure know how to find the good stuff and are super fun to use.

Thanks. I'm always amazed and excited when I pop a gold ring. I gets you fired up to want to hunt some more.

Thanks, you know that ring made my day. Taylor you need to set up a 'curb strip' program for your Deus.

What VDI number did you say the ring was and what's a nickel reading?

[CZconnoisseur]

IN 12 khz a nickel reads 53-54 and your ring indicated 40-41

I would have got it in my "Tot lot" program but also every little piece of can slaw and some iron. It pays to dig more of the low conducting targets!

Congrats on the gold ... and the silver coins too!!

 

[mudpuppy]

Whaaaa! .... Gimme change for a dollar and call me Mr. Jingles!

Thats a real nice score!...that thing woulda been lost to the ages had it not been for you to come along with your Tee rod and massive dig capability! I'm sure that small signal woulda been dismissed by most coil swingers out there....Dirt gold is the toughest target to find out there, yet you seem to manage to get more than your share every year! Your ample 'junk shots' tell us why...Good job Man! Thats a hell of a find on such a cold day! Congratulations! Wooowhee!

I got to hand it to you Tab Man. Getting out in that cold and making some good finds. I took the batteries out of my detectors. Getting to leave to the Philippines this next Monday. I hope I get some time to swing my coil while I am their... KEN

I wear a 10k white gold ring that comes in as a nickel on all three of my detectors. Last year I found a 10k white gold mens wedding band that was in the pull tab range. Don't seem to be no rhyme nor reason when it comes to gold. White or
yellow.
Congratulations on a great find though. You're off to a great start.

 

[Jeff (or)]

Looks like you had a good hunt. Congrats on the ring, they are always fun to find.

 

[TheManMetz]

Wow! Awesome finds. That ring really makes me want to get out with my Outlaw. Sadly, it is about 10 degrees out and the ground is froze solid. High hopes for an early spring!

 

[hatpin]

I cant go for awhile. Glad to your still tearing it up. Great find on the gold. I got skunked on gold in 2014.

Im sending the Vaq in for repairs plus the ground is frozen . Hope to have an early thaw.

Bad news for me. I heard the city has banned detecting in the park where I have done so well in. I go down in the woods though , so they never know Im there.
