Only hunted about an hour because my arm got fatigued, but made one good find. On an old logging road I found this military pin, button whatever.I have come to expect at least...

    Military pin?

    Found this today. Appears to be pewter to me. I think its very old. Can any of you ID it. There's a 22 bullet to compare it with. Found on an old logging road with a Tesoro Vaquero.

    Brass wedding band.

    I found this ring at an old school site. Its old. Im thinking it is brass, maybe copper. It turned my finger green after wearing it. Just a plain ring ,no markings or designs. Just wondering if its junk or does it have value because of its age ?

    Need headphones and got a fifty dollar bill to spend.

    Got a fifty dollar bill for my birthday and need some headphones for the Vaq. For some reason my old headphones that worked on a White do not work on the Tesoro. Is there a good inexpensive set that any of you recommend?

    Picked up my 4th silver ring of the year.

    This one fits. I was hunting an old park digging tabs hoping to snag some gold. No gold but got a very nice 925 silver ring and about 75 cents of clad. This ring was so loud and clear I thought it might be something good.

    3rd silver ring for the year

    Took the Vaq to a small park that was full of tabs and screw caps. This was the third target I dug. I thought it was gonna be a pull tab by the way it was breaking up.I was wrong again. Its smashed pretty good. Can a jeweler usually straighten them?

    First four months with the Vaq

    I love this detector. This machine is easy to work. I am learning to decipher its language and it gets easier each time out. What I come to love more than anything is the fade signal. It will hit a smooth sounding low,and weak tone then as I slowly start upping the discriminator the...

    A question about dirt on pennies

    On pennies that have dirt that will not come off, is that because of corrosion under the dirt? Ive been soaking an 1901 Indian head in water , that has fantastic detail. Liberty is plain and all the detail in the feathers are visible. Its not a valuable penny so Im trying to clean it for...

    Im thinking about recommending Cibolas

    I have two friends who want to start metal detecting.Ive been thinking about recommending the Cibolas because they wouldnt have to deal with ground balancing. I live in Northern Missouri. As far as I know this ground is low mineralized unlike mid Missouri which has a lot of iron. In fertile farm...

    Who has found a silver dollar with a Vaquero?

    How do I question this. Do they sound like coins? Is it easy to mistake a silver dollar for a crushed aluminum can?

    Setting the Threshold on the Vaq.

    Now that I have spent a lot of hours getting to know the Vaq. I went back and reviewed the youtube vids. So 53silver sets his ground balance with the threshold humming at about the 1 oclock position. Then when he switches to disc. he ups the threshold to 3 oclock. Why? This just makes the...
