Vaquero and 5x10 DD

Out for an hour before sunset on a new patch of ground for me and most signals were beaver tail pull tabs and beer caps. The beer caps do not discriminate out but you can tell by the sound, rough around the edges and very strong, that audio gives them away. Only dug 2 holes with good coins but here in Canada the totals can add up because of $1 & $2 coins.
The first hole had a stack of coins and gave a great signal that I could not disc out and it was 2 - $2 & a $1 all in a stack for a new personal record of $5 for one hole. The other good hole was 25 cents for a total of $5.25 in an hour.
The Vaquero is awesome on Canadian coins.

That's awsome Minas man. For me a good hole is a stack of 3 corroded zinc pennies!
 
I can't remember the last time that I did not come home with at least one penny! As the penny is now retired in Canada penny counts will start to decline at some point. The mint stopped distributing them in February 2013.
Don't mind digging the Loonies and Toonies ($1,$2)
 
Nice going! :cheers: One of these days I'm going to dig a huge silver coin spill. Maybe today.:)

Nice finds, what are your thoughts on the 5x10 coil. I got one for my Tejon but haven't had any time to give it a work out.

Good hunting,

thats what I hear, is the VAQ is good on canadian coins
 
Ron it was hard to make the switch and I only briefly used the 5x10 DD it when I first bought it and then I went back to stock coil for 3 years and then tried it again last fall and have not looked back.
On the Plus side it is more stable on bad ground, excellent in woods and brush with no spokes to get caught and I can get the toe of coil in and around a tree trunk that has crevasses.
Separation of targets with the knife like signal is good. The coil is lighter than stock and 10 inch length gives good sweep coverage.
On the negative discrimination is not as good on bottle caps but you can hear the rough edges in the signal.
