Tesoro Owner New to Find's - Happy New Year!

[Arizona Slim]

Just want to say hello to everyone! I own and the Compadre, Cibola, Vaquero, Lobo Super Traq, Sand Shark, and Tejon. Started using Jack Gifford machines back in the 1970's, when I got a C & G Wildcat. Just got the Vaquero and Tejon, and I'm looking forward to learning them.

Thanks for all the welcomes folks! I put my new Vaquero together this morning and took it for its maiden hunt at a sports field here in town where I have found gold and silver in the past. I found it to be very easy to ground balance, and super sensitive in All Metal, almost exactly like the Lobo Super Traq. I have over 3,000-hours on the Lobo Super Traq, and just over 400-hours on the Cibola, so the transition to the Vaquero was very easy.

Once I was comfortable that I had it set up properly, I turned on the discrimination, and set it just below Nickel. My first target with the new machine was a key at 3" and I was so happy it was not a pulltab! Soon after, I hit a mellow mid-tone that turned out to be 1965 (so close) Quarter at about 7"

For the next hour-and-twenty-minutes, I gridded a 50
