the tooth fairy.
LOL!
Okay, I thought as much.
I'm still trying to track down the forum where this was posted. Some guy came onto TreasureNet with this and claims he read it somewhere. Like you say, maybe too much turkey.
I've had 37 years of detector experience and I've yet to find a machine that can detect a coin in a REAL hunting enviroment deeper than 11 inches. Actually, here in Michigan, I've never dug a coin deeper than 9 inches and that was in a fill area.
Like I wrote on another forum, they say "take it with a gain of salt," but I say when it comes to depth reports, use a shovel. And I include some Tesoro reports in this also.

im sure that quite a lot of people think that a cm is the same as an inch when it comes down to how deep a find is.
PS i hope that you got my personal message, all the best Les

Apparently this field-tester was air testing with a "24 inch" measure (?), and started getting "a signal" within "two marks", whatever that means. Maybe his "marks" were at 6 inch intervals after 1 foot, which would mean 11 inches. :lol
This is starting to sound like the old "Match-head sized gold nuggets at over 3 feet" nonsense that a Minelab dealer used in the past.
Is Tesoro getting that desperate ?

.....within the Cibola field test:
"My first stop after assembling the detector was my workbench to perform some air tests on depth and discrimination. My test bench has a yardstick attached and to test for maximum capacity, I started at the 24

The Vaquero and the Cibola do really well in airtests especially in the All Metal Mode. No, not 24 inches but that wasn't what the fieldtester claimed. He started at 24 inches and got a sound later. He did not say exactly where.
I have a Vaquero that airtests over 15 inches with the 5.75 coil outside the house in disc mode (set to iron)without super tune it.
And that test was witnessed by a friend of mine.
It does better in All Metal Mode with the stock coil. Maybe some other Vaquero user can post some numbers too.
But it is what it is...an airtest. Other detector with lower airtest numbers could do better in real world ground conditions.
What it comes down to is that the Cibola and Vaquero are great detectors for the money. Good depth, disc and weight. What more do you really need ?
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year,
Andy

Looking to replace my very old Micronic I've been doing a lot of reading, reviews reports, forums....etc. about the Cibola and the Vaquero. This review on the Cibola by Ron Barnes in which he air tested the machine for depth did not mention what object he did use
in the test, I asked him and this is what he had to say.
"To get an idea of the depth potential i use a civil war era belt buckle. Now remember, as i stated in the test report i had no discrimination, sensitivity maxed out & the threshold maxed out !!! At those settings you get a lot of squeaks & erractic sounds. Bottom line is i could pick out the target response between the 22" & 23" mark."
Has anyone done a similar test on the Cibola?
hope this put some light. tony
