Sunday with the Vaquero

[Old Katz]

The rain stopped early this morning. I took off to another
smaller park near me and gave the machine another work out.
Picked up $7.25 in clad and what a surprise when out of all
the pennies I dug I came across a 1919 Wheat Cent. Thats unusual for
around here since most of these parks are relatively new.

Nice coin count. Discriminator is working well for you. Knocking out the tabs and nickles.

If you hunt with the discriminator low enough to see the nickles, you can thumb it as you take a few sweeps over the target and if the target goes away at nickle, you can dig the nickles, and if it doesn't go away until you get to tab, you got information that it is in the can slaw and tab range. Of course it could be gold, but could be junk too.

You had a good early outing with the Vaquero. Congrats!

In fact, here's one of those sublimely simple tips that really help:

Make a mark on the DISC control where nickles and zinc cents break up. I use either a dot of nail polish/paint or a small, arrow-shaped piece of colored sticky tape.
Then as you thumb the control and pass these "presets", you have an immediate VID of target conductivity. I call it a "Digit-driven Discriminator," and Tesoro places the control where it is to facilitate this method.
