    3 piece pocket spill with 2 silvers

    I took the Vaquero to the woods today of the local park in the same area I found a mercury dime last week . I dont know how I missed this but at the base of a tree I got a loud signal that didnt disc out but it also gave a double beep . A few inches down I pinpointed and popped out a silver...

    Lovely Lady Liberty

    Found a Merc today. I hunted along a bluff in a wooded area of the local park. Using a Vaquero with stock coil I heard a faint signal underneath a fallen tree . It sounded sweet but disc'ed out a little past tab , so I was expecting a lead bullet . About four inches down on the side of the hole...

    St Louis Missouri Commemorative coin / token

    I hunted a new spot today and it was some really weird ground . There must be a spring under it. The ground was soaking wet . I left foot impressions in it . Other grounds I hunted today were hard as cement . I found about 20 modern coins using the Vaquero with stock coil and heavy on the...

    Silver quarter "Gotta Catch Them All"

    Its been a couple of months since I ve been detecting. I went to an old burnt out house. Very trashy. Most of the time when I laid the pinpointer down it would sound off . I set the disc on the Vaquero to pick up zinc pennies . First find was a Hot wheels. Second find was a silver quarter. 1945...

    A V and a Shield

    Went to a park today to fool around with the settings of the Vaquero. I wanted to super tune because I havent done much of it. I had the sens set to the end of the red. It was running stable there. Had the threshold at the 2 o'clock position and disc set between the first two marks. Found the...

    Problematic pinpointer solution ?

    I'm on my second Garrett Pro Pointer . Just like my first one this one is acting up and chirping constantly. Any solutions ? I tried laying it on the ground when turning it on and that helps just a little .

    Im not good enough to hunt this spot

    I have hunted this spot several times and have only found a couple of wheat cents. I know this place has silver. It is a whole square block at what use to be a working class neighborhood. It is now empty because of flooding . No structures on it. There use to be a grocery store on the corner. I...

    coil size for woods hunting

    The woods have become my favorite place to hunt. Not because the finds are better but because I just like being there. I have a Vaquero and two coils. On one hand the stock 8x9 inch coil gets deeper , which comes in handy when searching over leaves and ground clutter , it's also faster and...
