    Mixed reviews on the 2500

    As I mentioned in a post a few days ago I just got a new GTI 2500. Unfortunately right when I got it the weather took a turn for the worse. I only got about 4 hours swing time with it and I took it to a heavily worked over park near me. I did manage to find some coins and I was impressed by the...

    Should I go for the 2500 or the 1350

    This is kinda a follow up post on my earlier post about trading in one of my Tesoros for a Garrett. I'm torn between the 2500 and the 1350. I'm leaning towards the 2500 because it comes with a real nice package deal right now , but all of you 1350 users seem very loyal to your machines. I'm...

    Thinking of trading one of my Tesoros in for a Garrett

    I was thinking of trading either my Tesoro Tejon or Vequaro in toward a Garrett 2500. I was just wondering what Garrett GTI 2500 users think of their detector. I know they are a little heavy , but any other advice would be greatly appreciated like depth , how they work in trashy areas , high...

    Which one should I trade in???

    I have three detectors - The Tejon , Vaquero, and the Golden Umax. I like them all , but the Tejon and Vaquero are pretty similar machines and I was thinking of trading one of them in for something radically different. The problem is I like them both - The vaquero runs quiter in the junky areas...

    Tesoro Warranty Question??

    I just got my slightly used Golden Umax the other day and it came with an unfilled warranty card. I was wondering if I should fill it out and send it in , and who I should say that I purchased it from since I bought it from a classified add on a forum?? I would feel alot better if I had a...

    Golden Umax arrived yesterday

    My Golden Umax arrived yesterday while i was at work. When I got home i put it together and put on my trusty headlamp and headed next door to my dad's house. In a little over an hour i pulled six wheaties ( 1930,1938,1941,1944,and two 1950's). I also found three older memorial cents. I love the...

    Dad's yard next door to me produces again

    I did another quick hunt with my Tejon in my Dad's yard next door to me after work because he moved a truck that has been sitting next to his driveway and I never detected were the truck was. In a little over an hour I found a couple wheaties , a 1944-D jefferson wartime nickle ( 40% silver) ...

    Few more wheaties out of my yard

    I hunt my yard hard , but with all the underground junk in it I know there are still a lot of keepers in it yet too. I found a few wheaties the other night , one under my lilac bush and two more on the ditch line by the road in front of my house. I also dug a very old lookin lipstick container...

    Another quick hunt in my Dad's yard after work

    I got home from work around 10:30 and I put my headlamp on and headed over to my Dad's who lives next door to me. I know that I've searched his yard quite a bit , but I still keep finding coins there ( Found my first Indian Head Penny there the other day ) and it's right next door so it's hard...

    Not much luck in my sisters yard.

    I finally detected in my sisters yard yesterday. She has a farm house with a barndating to the 20's or 30's. I thought that I'd turn up some silver coins and wheaties , but I only found some modern coinage , rifle shells , a little toy pirates pistol , and some matchbox cars. She has a big yard...

    Newby finds first Indain Head Penny

    I decided to take my Vaquero instead of my Tejon over to my Dad's trashy yard next door to me. I found a couple of 1960's nickles ( I love finding nickles because I didn't find many with my Cortes , plus it means that I'm not missing much) , a modern lincoln cent , and a coin so dirty that I...

    Trashy Yards!!

    I've hunted my dad's and my vard pretty hard because I've found a lot of wheaties and some silver dimes. I know that there is still more coins to find , but both yards are so littered with junk that I can't find an area clean enough to properly Ground Balance my Tejon. Tonight after work I even...

    Quick hunt after work with my Tejon

    I only had to put 8 hours in at work tonight ( usually 10-12 hours ) so I decided to take my Tejon over to my dad's yard for an hour of detecting in the dark. I had my main discrimination set below nickle and my alt discrimination set to almost max. I dug every repeatable signal just below...

    Quick test runs with my two new detctors.

    I traded my Cortes and Tigershark in yesterday for a Tejon and Vequaro. I tried both machines in areas that gave my Cortes problems with incesive chatter and "ghost signals". Last night (in the dark-kinda spooky with the coyotes barking and howling) I tried the Vaquero in my dad's yard (next...

I'm trading my Cortez in for a Tejon and I'm trading my Tiger Shark in for a Vaquero. My two detectors each have an extra coil - Cortez a 4" Coil and Tiger Shark a 10 1/2" coil...

    Ni-Cad batteries

    I was using Enegizer Ni-Cad batteries for the last two months because I thought my owners manual said I could. I was re-reading my manual today and noticed that it said that when using Ni-Cad batteries always use a seperate convertible pack with the proper voltage output for the detectors...
