SUNDAYS FINDS WITH NEW VAQUERO

I took my new Vaquero to my local football field sunday afternoon to see what I could find. Ended up with 16 quarters, 19 dimes, 51 stinkin lincolns, 11 wheaties, 4 nickels, and a clad Kennedy half dollar. Total for the day was 7.22. No gold or silver today.
I'm not crazy about digging all that clad coinage, but I figure it will get it out of the way so I can find some of the deeper and older coins that are still there. I have found shield nickels, 2 cent piece, walking liberty and franklin half dollars, and lots of mercury dimes here in the past, so I know it still holds some good coins down deeper. The strange thing is that I have never dug an indian head penny from this site and it was part of an old fairgrounds before the school was built in 1923.

The Vaquero has excellent depth and hit on a few pices of tiny metalic trash at almost the full length of my A.O. Leonard digger which is about 10 inches long. I'm learning the detector more each trip and it impresses me how well it seperates targets from trash even with the stock coil. The 5.75 concentric coil is my next coil for theVaquero and it should be an absolute coin killer in a trashy enviroment. Anyone looking for a great beep and dig detector with excellent depth.... this it your machine. It is so light weight it feels like an extension of your arm and will out perform many of the detectors costing hundreds more than the Vaquero....this detector rocks !! happy hunting.......

The Tesoro Vaquero is amazing for sure. It sounds like you have a really good site to search.

Wow! tabman is right. Takes me about 4 or 5 trips to get these kinds of numbers. I assume the standard coil? Really nice haul.
 
cactusjack, yes this was with the stock coil, it's all I have for it right now, but I do plan on getting a 5.75 concentric coil when funds allow it.
This football field is in a small town of 1700 people and I have only seen one other person hunt there about 25 years ago, so I basically have it all to myself. No other coinhunters go there unless it is a buddy hunting with me so each year the kids keep adding to the lost coins and jewelry there and when I need someplace close to go hunting I hit the field. I only hunted a very small part of the field on sunday and I'm sure I could go back today and find as much or more, but digging clad gets old for me....I'd much rather dig an old silver coin than 20 clad quarters any day, but the clad does add up fast and helps to buy other treasure hunting items so I don't complain. HH.....

Great detector, I love mine too. I use the 3 X 18 coil alot. I set disc all the way up. sens to 10, and threshold wide open. Do this and you will get the clad and silver.
 
Nice pile of change there Roger... that Vaquero is a very capable detector!!
You mentioned getting a 5.75" coil in the future.. you will love that coil on the detector
and if you think it is light now, wait til you get the small coil on it.
