Is there a Good XLT Program to find Civil War Bullets in Tennessee?

I took my XLT to Tennessee last trip and the guy I was detecting with said the "Whites XLT won't find any old bullets that why everyone down here has a Tesoro"...is this true or does anyone know a good program to find them?
 
Not true, if you know your machine there is no reason you shouldn't be able to find as much as the Tesoro. I have an MXT and it works great for relics in N. Alabama and Southern TN. Just sounds like he was a biased Tesoro user, which I understand since I have a Cibola too. They are great machines because of how light and user-friendly they are, but they aren't the end-all answer either.
 
Not true as all the relic experts I know--just a couple--swing White's. Search up the rutherfordcountyboys. They're pulling all sorts of stuff out of the ground around Murfreesboro.

I haven't dug any vintage bullets yet, but have dug enough sinkers and modern projectiles (most recently a 12 gauge slug and a 270 bullet) to know that the XLT will do FINE with the old lead.

White's machines are heavily favored in my part of TN, but I'm no expert on relics, yet.

Still hunting silver and wishing it'd rain.
 
Also, many dedicated "relic hunters" like Tesoro's because most of them do not have visual Target ID. They just want to find metal and many have used various visual ID models in the past, only to fall into the trap of looking at the display a lot and then not recovering a potentially good audio hit because the visual info didn't excite them.

I like some of the Tesoro models for relic hunting, but I also am rather partial to a modified Classic III SL, a modified IDX Pro, an XL Pro or the XLT. If you'd like to discuss XLT programs, you're welcome to drop me an E-mail at: MonteVB@comcast.net. Let me know how much experience you have with the XLT, the program you currently use, and search coils you have. Also, the type of site you're hunting. I have a few who have mailed me for my programs and some info and I'll add you to the E-mail I am sending out in reply.
