53Silver video on the Outlaw

[foreign object]

As always his videos are top notch but have a question. He showed the Outlaws ability to disc out a dime and still hit a quarter. I have a newly acquired Tejon and while I was doing some air test trying to set the disc knobs correctly I discovered that the Tejon would also disc out a dime and not a quarter. I thought that I like this as I don't mind digging clad quarters much but for the most part can pass on dimes.
Now the hitch--- it wont disc out a buried dime. Does anyone know if that is the case with the Outlaw or maybe the Cibalo.

Thanks Guys

My only question is this, why would you even want to discriminate a dime? I don't get it

Heck, I'm even afraid to discriminate out nickels, because I'm afraid I'm going to run my coil over a nice gold wedding band and hear nothing.

I'm with you tabman......

I use just enough Disc. to barely knock out a small 3" or 4"square nail. I don't hunt parks much at all. I mostly hunt around old farmhouses and dig anything that beeps with my relic shovel.These old places have been abandoned for decades and nobody cares if I use a shovel.

 

[foreign object]

Well like I said in my post.I really don't care to dig clad dimes most of the time and I don't jewelry hunt which really has nothing to do with my simple question.
If someone has a answer I would appreciate it.

 

[CO_T\Huntr]

Interesting it wouldn't when buried but does in an air test.... I'm leaning heavily toward the Outlaw myself
I like the fact it has manual GB and Auto...

That Vaq is nearly impossible to GB here in our soil, could find the neutral spot but never quite stopped
oscillating while pumping...even reducing the Sens considerably, never knew how easy I had it with
the Silver ; )

If you've been in this hobby long enough, you will find that deeply buried beavertail pulltabs will hang right in there at depth with a high reading.

It just goes with the territory, if you ain't digging trash, you ain't digging the cash. Heck I've dug up deep barber dimes on edge that disc'ed out at pulltabs.

If you trust a meter or disc, you are walking over the good stuff. I've been at this hobby going on 20 years now and study it down to a fine art.

Most important thing to remember is Location, location location.If there ain't any silver coins at that location, you ain't going to find them.

I've been out twice to an old farmhouse and scored 3 mercs and a rosie plus an old car tag from 1915, so I've been doing all right.

No guarantee that it will help, but, rather than pumping the coil up and down, try starting with the coil about a foot above the ground and push it to about 6 inches above the ground and listen for a rise or fall in the threshold while the coil is being pushed down. Make a small adjustment and move the coil up again. Pause with the coil up, then push down focusing on the threshold as the coil goes down. May take a little longer but it may help get rid of the overshooting ringing responses. I have had the overshoot ringing with the Tejon in some places and not pumping up and down helped. Focusing on a single push down helped me set it up without all the overshoot ringing.

Ya know I haven't been at it for twenty years but I do know the basics and I never mentioned silver in my post. In both post I only mentioned clad. I really don't even care to dig clad but I do have some places that are close that have little to no chance of holding silver coins and I sometimes hit those spots to pass the time and relax and you know what if I want to dig only quarters why does it bother you guys.

If you don't know the answer to my question and really feel you need to give me a lesson on metal detecting that is ok I guess.

 

[Hombre]

OK got ya......

If ya just want to dig quarters, I hate to say it, you guys gotta realize, I'm covering up my Tesoro tattoo. Here goes nuthin......you are using the wrong brand.

Get yourself a White's XLT in used pristine condition, they are no longer in production, it was a quarter gobbling monster when I had one 15 years ago.

When the meter reads a quarter, you could bet someone in Vegas Baby that it was and win, just like a slot machine with triple cherries.

Hombre I want even bother replying.

Oh...but you did reply and that says alot, Good luck finding a slot machine that only dishes out quarters,. FYI the XLT is a quarter slot machine.

Interesting question and truly deserving of an answer. The key words that you stated are " does anyone know". Well I sure don't . I've never owned an Outlaw or Cibola
although , I have owned a few Tesoro's over the years . In that time it never even crossed my mind to see if I could separate the dimes from the quarters although I have on occasion discriminated out everything under dimes . I would tend to think most people haven't tried splitting the two ( especially if their looking for silver ) . You've got me curious now as to seeing if my Vaquero can . Hopefully this thread remains civil and we can get some answers before it gets eliminated . It would be really cool if someone from Tesoro could jump in here and enlighten us a bit .

 

[foreign object]

Anyone out there with a answer to a simple question ?
Dont really need advice on which detector I need as I can set my CTX to find only quarters so I really don't need a XLT. Never cared much for slot machines really prefer five card stud. If ya gona gamble do it right.

 

[ToneTime]

I think each machine is slightly different, I watched this video as well and ofcourse tried discing out a dime just out of curiosity with my outlaw when I got it. Well it will not do it, I tried every coil I have and my particular build will always accept the dime no matter What even if the disc is maxed out.

 

[dirt doctor]

It was nice of you to take the time to share your experience with the Outlaw .

 

[jld66]

i use a vaquero and have noticed at times a clad dime will disc out before a zinc penny will. guess because of depth, soil, how long buried, etc. have always disc out higher on the quarters than dimes anyhow. even silver dimes. if you can pass on the dimes and dig pennies, why disc out dimes then? seems you will miss out on a lot of other, good stuff. i know this does not answer your question. just thinking, why?

Thanks, and I am new to the Manual GB so I will give it a try.... though today I went to a different park here in town and it GB'd nicely, must be the soil and I even got my Silver out to insure a clean spot to do the GB on both occasions lol.
I agree with you on digging the extras in the hopes of a bigger score and my primary goal is the silver.... today I dug a '64 Nickel just not sure if it counts for my first silver.

 

[jarrow]

Your 64 nickle has no silver content.

Okay, I'll bite. I believe the answer to your question is mass. General rule of thumb - more discrimination; less depth, or put another way, it is less sensitive to smaller objects. Max out your discrimination and you won't see any coins but you will still pick up that garbage can lid at 5 feet.
