Bandido II scores first Silver of the year!!!

[ohp800max]

Well, took the Bandido II out for it's maiden voyage. I hit an old early 1900's house that I thought I had "cleaned up" with the DeLeon over the course of the last few weeks. I was wrong! I only covered half of the property and spent about two and half hours.

The Bandido is super easy to GB, ran quiet as a mouse, and I hit the silver Canadian dime at the depth of my Lesche digger (appx 10 inches) NO S*#T! I had the Sens at 8 and Descrim at 7 or so, and it was still hitting deep! I bought a 7 inch concentric here locally yesterday and it really seems to be the ticket for depth AND separation. So far, I really like this set-up. My tally for the day was as follows:

1951 Canadian silver Dime
5 cent "Old Age" Tax token
Crystals Pizza token
Peace Necklace pendant
Old spoon handle
33 Lincolns
3 wheats
6 dimes
3 nickles

Did this on only half the property and went over everything the DeLeon had already gone over. I think I've got a contender here! Gonna hit the rest of the property this evening and see what pops up. Thanks Jay!

Hey Trent,
I'm glad that Bandido is pullin the deep stuff for ya. I knew you'd like it.The Bandido II was the one to beat a few years back, and it's still a great machine.Something about the old machines just keeps em circulating around & even still... people are making great finds with them. That's the way this little modded Silver is... very stable and hits em deep. That's why I've always kept it when I let some of my other machines go. Every time I think of letting it go something tells me ... no, ya better hang on to it. lol Lots of cool stuff there! Keep it up!
HH,
Jay

I meant to tell you... the 7" was about all I ever ran on the Bandido II when I had it. Monte put me on the 7" concentric a few years back, and I've always kept one in my arsenal on at least one of my detectors. It's a great coil.....
