last digs of the year ( strange medallion)

[birdman]

I found this stuff on my last couple of digs last month using my Vaquero. The medallion was a 1937 radio give away .Kinda like the one on A Christmas story .LOL My last hunt it was 40 degrees and windy and the next morning it was 5 below so I am done untill late spring. Hope every one is staying warm and Merry Christmas to all.

Gunnar ,I never use all metal mode because I would have to dig every few inches here in ND. These old farms are so full of nails and iron it drives me nuts in all metal. I set the disc. at iron and dig everything else. Lots of trash but lots of nickles ,silver,relics,a few rings old toys ect ect. I love the vaquero .Best machine that I have ever owned and I have had about ten machines of all brands. Now I am down to the Vaquero with a cibola as a back up /loaner. My next machine will be a tejon but it will be a while. No battle fields close by here so the tejon can wait for now.
