    Who Will Participate?

    Was wondering if anyone else would be interested in a big "single thread show and tell" Do one for each model starting with the Compadre. Thought it would be fun to show all our gold/silver coins/jewelry totals for X amount of time spent- months/years/weeks in a single thread. I'm really...

    Another Silver Day At My Fav Park :beers:

    Did a short 2hr hunt at a "new" location at my favorite park. This time I hit the perimeter of the tennis courts. It was just my luck that they had just weed whacked the area that I planned to hunt. Kept digging those darn ball can tops...then one sounded a little more solid...yess...

    5.75" Concentric Trash Test

    Got the time to do a 3 hour hunt today at my favorite park. I picked an area that is FULL of trash. We're talking layers of tabs and caps. I ran through his area previously with the 9X8 and was pretty sure I'd extracted all the goodies even though I was getting trash hits every 3 square inches...

    Solar Activity

    I was wondering how much, if any, the high level solar flares we're having lately are causing any changes in detecting? Just wanted to bring some awareness to the subject in case anybody has strange performance issues or ?? They're starting to find more of a connection between the Sun and...

    Another Silver Day At My Fav Park :beers:

    Had a full 6hr day trompin the woods again. What a workout! I think I found a 6 acre "era". The silver coin "glory hole" that I just KNEW had to be there. The first payoff for my hours of studying 1936 aerial photos of the area. Yesss! :yo:

    Battery Test Results

    In an attempt to find the best value for a 9V rechargeable battery, I've done some testing with 3 types of batteries. (pictured) The first battery I used in my modded C was a Duracell. Most will agree, that they are a considerable investment for the avid detectorist. They will give you around...

    Freq Switch Additional Uses

    While doing some precision ground balance testing in the coin garden today, I made an interesting discovery that I haven't heard mentioned anywhere else. Switching the freq to the right has the same effect as adding a touch positive GB. Switching to the left makes it a touch neg. If you set your...

    :help: Cibola Sick! :help:

    I just came in from the coin garden. Was going to make a video comparison between the 9X8 & 5.75. After cleaning out the test plot, I carefully buried some dimes and nickels at precise depths. The problem was quickly discovered when I started losing my dime signal @7". 6 months ago, I got strong...

    Amazing Technology

    I've been using 1936 aerial photography for hunting research without much luck to date. Been trying to get accurate comparisons of historic and current photos, so I can locate front porches, and the path from parking to the front door. Found a spot in the middle of a little park in my...

    Silver Day At The Park 1/27/12

    The weather FORCED me to hit my fav park Friday. (had no choice) Spent 80% of the hunt off the beaten path, on a quest for old coins or old lost jewelry. Shot a new vid for my YT channel "Polewagger", so that those who are unable to hunt, might enjoy the "vicarious" hunt through a video. Let me...

    Peru Vit

    I just knew nobody would believe that I found some modern Peruvian coins in the woods of one of my favorite parks, while hunting for (more) silver coins. Here's the Peru...f. :crylol: I like to have fun with word play on occasion.

    Satisfying 3HR Hunt Sunday Night 7-10PM Pacific Time

    Decided to check out a little park nearby, that dates back to the 30's. Lots of clad pennies and dimes...ho hum... Almost ready to head back home... Working around a tree, after the third hard hitting coin in a half circle, I thought to myself... "is this a set up?"...this nice little 3gr 925...

    Experimenting With The 5.75" Concentric.

    I had an interesting discovery with my brand new 5.75" concentric in the test garden. After setting the GB just a touch positive, I buried a clad quarter just within reach of the mighty Cibola. (around 7") Unable to get a peep without scraping the ground, I decided to lift her up a bit and...

    Old Knife

    Did some midnight hunting last night on an old trail that showed up on my 1936 aerial photos. The trail was used to reach military radio shacks on the mountain. Found this knife with an eagle head on the butt. Is there anyone who knows if this is a kids toy or a real military relic? The handle...

    "HOT" Rocks

    Went up in the hills to prospect a large creek which has historically produced small amounts of gold. Working in all metal mode, I came up with 2 bobby pins, a copper penny, a fishing weight and a very small piece of steel. Also found these two hot rocks (chunks of natural iron) which hit hard...

    Six Months Of Silver With The Cibola

    I'd imagined finding about ten times more than this, but since I stopped imagining and really doing it, I've learned that there's more "competition" than I thought, plus, I've learned new strategies to find the elusive silver coins...more to come. The first two coins on the top left (Merc & war...

    Hi - Lo Tones?

    Hey guys! I'm digging this Tesoro exclusive forum VERY much! Has anyone posted a video with the high and low tones that I've heard about, but not experienced? I have no regrets on getting my Cibola and adding 10 turn GB, all metal switch, and volume control, but now I'm curious about how the...
