Well I feel a little better about my Vaquero today. Went on a club hunt at an old farm circa 1840 and was finding a lot of iron and not much else except what I thought was junk, though not iron. Near the end of the hunt, after about 3 hours in hot and humid NC I found an army button and a 1917 wheatie along with what I thought was a door handle and a screw driver handle and hose nozzle. After posting on the whatz it forum, I found the button was probably just after 1902, the screwdriver handle was a tire valve cover from a Model T, and the handle was probably from a Civil War era or before trigger guard. Most of the other club hunters were using $1000 plus machines, and I do not think they found as much. Made my day.
