    Found Batman's car

    [attachment 316414 image.jpg] I was able to get out for the 1st time in a long time. I made a quick stop for breakfast and a torrential downpour started. I decided to throw the rain gear on the detectors and tough it out. I was hoping to find some gold or silver today. It did not work out...

    Silver find with eyes only

    [attachment 314194 image.jpg]I know that this post probably belongs on the today's finds forum, but I wanted to share a little fact I found interesting today. My wife came home today and with a big grin handed me this necklace with a pendant on it and said I quote "look what I found today and...

    Compadre finds small silver

    [attachment 313756 image.jpg][attachment 313757 image.jpg]Today I had a small reminder of just what the Compadre is capable of. I found this small earring or charm at the same location as I found the gold and silver bracelet and silver ring in the same hole just a little while ago. It never...

    5 x 10 DD coil for 5 pin units?

    Just out of curiosity. I sent an email to Tesoro about why they don't make a 5 x 10 wide scan coil for the Umax detectors like they do for the lobo and the 4 pin detectors. I didn't get a response. This email is not about Tesoro not responding to my email, it is to see if anyone here knows...

    A short hunt with my daughter

    [attachment 313270 image.jpg]Today my daughter and I went to the park and I watched her play for a while. Then I asked her if she wanted to look for treasure. She was really excited about it. I pulled my detector from the car and began to hunt. This was her first real hunt. It was cut short...

    Dug a little in the trash and found some shiny

    attachment 312798 image.jpg [attachment 312799 image.jpg] Tonight I had an awesome 2 hour hunt. I started out with the Eldorado Umax with the 7" widescan and found some coins and a religious medal with an angel on both sides about the size of a quarter. The Eldorado and the 7" coil had me on...

    12x10 widescan or clean sweep widescan?

    So I know there is a post already about coil questions on here, but I am thinking I would like to get a large coil for my Umax detectors to sweep large open fields in parks and on farms. I have two detectors with manual ground balance on them, so changing coils is not a big problem. I have...

    Short Hunt- found a little Tennessee pride

    [attachment 310959 image.jpg]. I had about 30 minutes to hunt. It was about a 10 minute walk both ways into a baseball field built in the 60's. I had been eaten up with curiosity for a couple of months, because you can't see it from the road. I found a $1.45 in change including 4 quarters...

    Clean sweep coil question

    Just wondering if anybody has tried the widescan or concentric clean sweep coil on an Eldorado Umax or bandido II Umax, or any other Umax detector. If so, any thoughts, pros or cons would be appreciated. Thank you and HH.

    Detecting in the rain

    I threw the old rain jacket on the Eldorado and used the new widescan coil I purchased recently and searched a park in the down pouring rain for 40 minutes before work. In 30 minutes I found one nickel shy of $1 in change and 2 quarters in the same hole. I have just started really using the...

    It's nice to have a hobby that pays back!!!!

    Today I cashed in my clad that I had found over the last little while. I do not get out to hunt as much these days so I was a bit surprised when It was enough to pay for my new coil and some extras. It is nice to have a hobby that is exciting, fun and pays you back enough to buy new gear and...

    7" widescan or 12x10 widescan

    I have the opportunity to purchase my first widescan coil with change pulled entirely from the ground, but will only have enough to purchase either the 7" or the 12x10 widescan coil. Now you guys know how hard we work to pull that much change from the ground. Been saving my pennies and now I...

    Coil purchase advice

    Hi everyone. I recently moved to Virginia and I have a few questions about the soil composition and what coil may produce the best results. I am wondering if the soil has a lot of mineralization first of all. I am also looking to buy a new coil. I have plenty of concentric coil options now...

    Wish Tesoro would make some vintage machines again

    I was looking on Tesoros website yesterday and today under the manuals section and thinking of the models from the past that are so hard to find. Some are in larger supply than others and some are as hard to find as that priceless treasure in the trashiest of ground. I bet every Tesoro owner...

    Tesoro Piranha

    Hi. Couple of questions about a detector I have only read about in a users manual, but would like to own one someday if any still exist out there. Had my hopes of finding one for 2 years, but no luck. Apparently they are really hard to find. Has anyone ever used one of these Tesoro Piranhas...

    Father and son hunt

    Yesterday I took my son to the park to play on the play ground and I decided to do some detecting while we were there. I helped him to learn how the compadre worked and the pin pointer and showed him how to dig. Up to that point I had found a small amount of clad in including only 1 quarter...

    Compadre finds silver 925 spoon handle ring

    The compadre strikes again. This time on Virginia soil. I found a 925 stamped silver ring that looks like an old silver spoon handle bent around to make a ring and is stamped with an f inside a diamond shape as well. It is my 1st one of this kind i have found. It has been a long time since I...

    Thinking of selling my Eldorado Umax or Bandido Umax

    Somebody please tell me I am crazy or stupid. I know both of these units are getting harder to find and I am an idiot to be searching for anything else, but that is what we do in this hobby. We seem to never be satisfied with what we have. Some of the reason I had this crazy notion to sell...

    Found my 1st class ring

    On Saturday I found my 1st class ring. I was detecting by myself unfortunately, but still called my dad who detects to let him know. This one will be going back to a very happy owner. The full name of the owner last name and first name is engraved in the ring and it is a nice looking ring...

    Detecting in west part of Virginia

    I will be visiting family in June in the western part of Virginia close to Tennesee and wondered if anyone who hunts out that way could tell me if my Compadre with preset ground balance would work out there. I plan to bring my eldorado umax or bandido umax as well. It should be a fun time.
