Hi Tabdog, first off I want to say thanks for all your posts I really enjoy them. My question is - I have noticed you saying a few times about the Vaquero being slow. I was wondering what you mean by slow, I have a new Vaquero and haven't used it yet due to winter up here (upstate New York) and am guessing that you mean the Vaq. needs to be swung slow but thats just my guess. I do like a detector that can be swung slow over one that has to be whipped. Thanks TD! Steve.
