How bad is the depth loss on the Vaquero when discrimination is set pretty high? To get away from those darn pull tabs. I know on my silver I loose a lot of depth. Can the Vaquero be super-tuned and be set to copper penny? Can the Golden be super-tuned? I would hate to upgrade to either if I'm not going to see much of a difference in discriminated depth. Thanks Dan

Discrimination Depth loss silver vs Vaquero
- Thread starter ds6191

I have had my Vaquero for only about 21/2 weeks now, three field hunts, lots of back yard and air testing.
Overall I find it 2" to 4"s deeper (more in super tune) than my Silver uMax's. (I have two.)
The most I seem to lose at max discrimination is 11/2" on coin size items.
I can get an amazing 5" on a .4 gr. gold nugget on top of the ground at min. discrimination, 3" just above iron mark. Only 1' with the Silver at min., no sound at o on foil.
I am still learning the MD, still experimenting with where to set the threshold in relation to the sensitivity to avoid deep iron signals that sound good.
Super tune causes me problems at a fresh water beach I hunt due to a lot of junk iron 9" deep plus. Signal can still sound good even at max. disc.
I have had some luck with setting the threshold down to JUST after the the regular hum is inaudible, but there still remains a SLIGHT undertone.
Sensitivity as high as you can go without chatter.
I found this trick mentioned here at this forum by one of the Tesoro guys.
Turn threshold slightly to much down and you lose depth, to high and the bad iron becomes to audible.
In a non-deep junk iron environment the machine is a gem and super tuning will give you all the depth you'll want.
Good Hunting,
Denny
