Tesoro Cibola :tesoro::usaflag: This Standing Liberty Has Been Around The Block A Few Times:detecting:

[tabman]

My day started off pretty boring. I wasn't finding much at all, just a bunch of clad coins and memorial pennies. The places that I was detecting looked great but weren't giving up much. I kept on the move looking for a better place to swing my coil. I saw a sign that said estate sale, so I pulled over to investigate. The house looked to be built in the early thirties and the yard wasn't all that big. I asked the lady that was running the sale if the owner was around. She no, but she had the owners phone number. He was a doctor at Le Bonheur Children's Hospital. I give him a call to ask if it would be OK for me to run my metal detector over his yard to see what I could find. At first he was hesitant, but he finally said go ahead and enjoy myself. I started in the front yard, but I didn't find much. But when I hit the back yard, I scored right off. I popped a Standing Liberty Quarter right out from the back door. Other than the quarter, some costume jewelry and a silver earring there wasn't much to be found. I decided to call it day and regroup for another hunt. You can see my settings in the picture.

HI tabman...

If you keep making finds like that, Larry will be wanting that Cibola back in his arsenal...lol

Looking at your settings, you have the Sens. maxed out, do you always run it like that, mine get a little chirpy with it cranked up like that.

Anyway good find on the stander, of the ones I've found....they seem to have seen a lot of circulation.

Hombre I can run the sensitivity full tilt at every site that I detect without any EMI issues while in the discriminate mode. The same goes for my Vaquero.

Larry did a great job on modding the Cibola. The 3-way trigger switch and 10 turn GB pot is a nice touch

Maybe it's the frequency that they run on, but those 2 detectors can go to super high EMI sites without a bunch of chirping and popping going on.

The lower frequency Tesoros can't even fight off the EMI like the Cibola and Vaquero can. My other brand detectors won't even get out of the SUV at really bad EMI sites.

Hi Tab, that standing looks like one I found in an old park. Mine has been used so much, it was hard to even see that it was a standing. I still get a kick out of your junk pile. I also like to add the junk with my pictures. It lets the new people know it is not always gold and silver.... KEN. Ind.

Just noticed in your junk pile the two hypodermic needles....yikes! be careful out the Mr. G

Nice find tabman. I love finding those, just wish I could find one that had a complete date.

Hi Tabman,
Good work on the SLQ and the getting permission. When I look at your photos I always notice the band you have wrapped around your detectors. Where do you get those or how did you make it? It seems like a nice idea. Thanks

Ditto what Ken said, your junk pile reminds me of the adage "the harder I work, the luckier I seem to get"

Excellent hunt and finds!

I tell you, that was really good thinking on your part to whip in there and get permission like you did..I'da never thought of that? I guess you can go back and hit it again now after the sale is over just to see along the driveway or someplace you couldnt hunt because of all the people? Good Job!

Thanks. I wrap the control box with McNett Camo Form Wrap ACU Army Digital Self Cling Tape. I heard that it's the same stuff that they use to wrap horse's legs with. After awhile it will stop clinging to itself and I'll use some black duct tape to secure it in place. Around the hand grip I use strips of plastic cut out of either a freezer or sandwich bag held in place with narrow strips of black duct tape. Dirt doesn't stick to it like it does to a foam hand grip.

Don't be too surprised. Those standing liberties wore down quickly. Something about the way they were etched and minted. Its hard to find those in good shape.

Makes me wonder though, do you hunt coins looking for collector grades or do you hunt for scrap value, which you then cash in to buy collector grade coins?

Or neither?

I just take what I find. I ain't picky.

That quarter is so worn its probably only worth half price . LOL Nice find .

 

[CZconnoisseur]

Nice SLQ!!! Sometimes all it takes is a phone call and a charming personality to get into some nice coins!

 

[Barry C from mass]

nice find

Nice going on the silver.
About running sensitivity maxed out, I found that as long as I had the ground balance dead on, I could run the sens maxed out and keep the machine running smoothly for the most part. The 10 turn gb would help with that I'm sure, looks like a sweet machine you have there.
