Tesoro Cibola :tesoro::usaflag: The Silver Streak Has To End One Today

[tabman]

But not today! I got another early start this morning and was at the site at daybreak. The EMI is always bad at this site, but today it seemed even worse. This is one of the worst sites for EMI that I've ever detected. It seems like it wavers. The only thing you can do is dig all repeatable audio signals regardless of how they sound. Maybe all this EMI has kept these good targets hidden all this time. Every time I think I have an area picked clean, I get another signal and another good target. It's a little frustrating. I was using the Sharpshooter coil and running my normal settings. I ended up finding a near perfect 1952 Quarter, a 1951 Cinco Centavos, some clad coins, 2 Buffalo Nickels, and a bunch of Wheat Pennies (1928, 1942, 1943, 1920, 1941, 1939, 1928 ).

On a side note, I pulled out my G2 right before I got ready to call it a day to see how it could handle the EMI. It's well known for being able to handle EMI. This is the only site that I used it at that it couldn't handle the EMI. Turning down the sensitivity helped some, but not much.

tabman,

That quarter is in beautiful shape, congratz..have you tried a concentric coil at that EMI spot? I bet the 8" doughnut coil would work better at that location.
Just a thought.........

Thanks! Your thinking is usually pretty good.

I did try the 9 x 8 concentric on the Vaquero and it did seem to get maybe a little more depth. It's really hard to tell because the EMI seems to change all the time.

I might also try the 5.75 concentric coil to see how it will do. I know there's plenty left to at this site to find. It could be something really good just waiting to be found.

Maybe the Outlaw having a lower frequency might be able handle this particular EMI better. It's worth a try.

Turning down the sensitivity on the Vaquero and Cibola doesn't help reduce this particular EMI at all. Very strange.

Thats another crisp Q...! What a year you are putting together! I heard last night that this year we have had record rainfall, and it looks like you may have too, generally everything is dried up hard by now, and tough hunting...56 degrees this am...I'm learning a lot from you about hunting those heavy EMI and awful tough places...the last frontier maybe...

It looks like we're around a foot above normal for the month of June. I'm liking all this rain.

Mud you're right about the EMI frontier. This site will send most detectors running for the car.

Tab your hot for sure. Really nice finds you keep coming up with. Keep it up man.

Talking about emi I have a small place that really has not turned up a lot of good stuff a few merc the usual wheats and a couple of war nicks. The only machine that I have had that run smooth there was a CZ3D with the 8in coil. The GBP did ok but the F5, Deus, MXT and now my CTX just cant hunt there. The ground has many buried electrical lines going to lights and outlets through the small park. It is pure murder to most machines. The CZ3D runs smooth and has been the only machine to score there.

I was really surprised that the G2 (GBP) didn't handle the EMI any better than it did. No matter how low I turned down the sensitivity in the all metal mode on any of the detectors that I've tried there so far, they still acted crazy. On the Vaquero and Cibola I just kind of guessed at where I thought they should be ground balanced and ran full sensitivity. When I flip over to the discriminate mode all is fairly quiet, but the audio that I get on targets is funky. Most of the targets that I have found have been fairly shallow. It makes me suspect that there might be some deep silver coins there still to be found if I could only find a detector that could get some more depth in all the EMI.

I'm coming out the gate with the Outlaw in the morning to see how it fairs.

I have been wanting a outlaw so I will be looking forward to see how it does.

Nice finds Tab! I think I might pick up one of those sharpshooter coils for my Outlaw. Even if it doesn't offer better performance, it sure is good lookin'.

Thanks Matt.

I wish that Tesoro would make a mid-sized DD coil in black. Tesoro could reduce down their 10 x 12 DD coil to a 6 x 10.

That would be perfect for working sidewalks and curbs.

Right now Tesoro's 5 x 10 elliptical coil is on parallel performance with the Sharpshooter, but it's not black and cool looking, but it does come with a lifetime warranty.
