    When in an area that is difficult to GB because of all the metalin the ground , should a person start with the GB knob at the 12 oclock position , turn it counter clockwise 5 full turns then clockwise 2 full turns? Thats what the instructions say to do for air testing.

    Pulled two Buffaloes today

    Took the Vaq to the park and heard a faint signal that sounded like a coin. About ten inches down I got a Buffalo, 1917. I never dreamed I would dig a nickle that deep. Filled the hole and plug back in reswept it and it beeped again. In the same hole but to the side was another one about 8...

    I own a vaq . I keep reading that it is soso for silver coins.I have found a fistful of silver with it , but not deep silver. I have found some really deep wheat pennies with it. 8 to 9 inches deep. Does the Vaquero do better with copper than silver ? For a deep silver coin shooter what are the...
