    9.6 volt rechargeables for 9 volt Tesoros

    I read quite a few older threads regarding rechargeable batteries. What has been you experience if you have used rechargeables? I'm mainly referring to the single 9 volt battery models. I read that the Giffords said that the 9.6 volt batteries were fine to use. I also read elsewhere that the...

    1919 S Wheat

    I went out this afternoon with my Vaquero and hit a dirt parking area of my old family cemetery up in the hills. Turned up a 1919 S wheat penny at about two inches. Wasn't expecting it to be that old, but it was a pleasant surprise. Also three bases of the old paper shotgun shells, a metal...

    Got my Vaquero today...

    ...and spent the afternoon getting acquainted with it and just digging stuff up to see how the discrimination and audio was. Ground balancing is easier than I thought it would be. What impressed me the most was how stable it was. I cranked up the sensitivity to 9-10 and no chatter. Even...

    Thinking about getting a Vaquero...

    ...after several hours of reading here and elsewhere. I live in an area with a lot of clay and iron ore . Main use would be relics and coin hunting. From what I read, the Vaquero does well with mineralization. Lifetime warranty is hard to beat too. No used one on Ebay. I found a couple...

    Is the CXIII outdated?

    I have a Grand Master Hunter CXIII which I've had since 1995. It seems funny to me that they don't seem to be talked about much anymore. Are they outdated? I talked with technical support at Garrett yesterday and was told they can't hardly work on the CXIII machines anymore as they don't hardly...
