Nice write up, David. At least I can believe this one.

I had the opportunity to watch dave this weekend with this machine at a relic hunt, and if anything, he is being very conservative in his field test report. The soil was terrible and the depth he was getting was very impressive. In fact I ordered one even though I'm already "detector overloaded"

Hey Pulltab, we are never overloaded with detectors, its just that the room where they are kept is too small.

Did anyone happen to have a White's MXT on had to check the ground phase reading? I really like the Vaquero, but it doesn't get the depth and performance in my local soils that I read about from many 'back east' or 'down south.'
Thanks, just wondering how you determine a soil's "badness." <img src="/metal/html/wink.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt="

Didn't have the dfx out to check the ground...But locals describe it as "taking 15 boxcars of powdered zinc and mixing in the topsoil evenly"

Too many things going on right now <img src="/metal/html/smile.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=""> Haven't had time to go Turkey hunting, but I'm going to make time this week! Wife's surgery is Monday so I'll have to get in the woods by the weekend. Monte, our soil in certain areas of middle TN can be so uneven with high minerals, negative soil to highly fertilized, that I have to GB my Vaquero every 5 minutes or so in some areas (Most places I hunt I can set GB and forget about it). I have seen detectors fail to pick up a button lying on top of the ground in some of our areas. Bullets that are only 1-2 inches deep sound like a broken trash signal. We have to search slow; swing over any target response several times to get a positive signal. I have gotten better depth on relics while hunting in VA with the Vaquero than in tough soil here. However, the Vaquero is doing very well on brass locally. I've dug more buttons recently than I have in a long time. Also brass rivits, small rivit washers, shell casings, and small to large brass. The Vaquero, like the Tejon/Cibola loves it. Some detectors get little or no response to bullets unless they are nearly on top of the ground. One good scenario with the Vaquero was with pullatab two weeks ago. I hit a fire pit which had a canteen in it at 12 inches. Upon digging the canteen this yeilded a CS cartridge box (the large Pewter finial was the ID key) and about 9 Eagle I buttons and remnants of a cartridge box plate or breast plate. It was fire damaged beyond repair; only a small portion remained. US troops moved in the camp after the Confederates moved south. We can only surmise that the Union boys wanted to destroy anything left on the camp grounds. It is very common here in the western theatre for Confederates to have worn US Eagle buttons, especially the early "I" or "D" Eagle buttons. Much of this area had been farmland for a long time. Hunting the wooded areas will yeild better balanced soil and the relics will generally be in much better condition. Good hunting, David @ Dixie
