[deliveryboy]

I love this machine, been giving my Compadre and Silver some rest for the past week lol.

Hit a park early this morning not expecting much. I ran the grass on the way to the tot lot finding only trash and a few ruined clad pennies. I was just doing a quick walkthrough in the sand not getting any hits but a few gum wrappers, I was ready to go back to the grass. I did one last sweep at the bootm of a slide and got a solid signal, pro-pointed it quickly and wala, Mens 14k diamond ring!! I decided to slow down and reheck the sand and found about a $1 in clad as well as the mini cooper keychain (24+grams)

Settings were :All metal mode - toggled to 2 1/2 discrimination, threshold @ 11 oclock, sensitivity max, found approx 3" deep


The complete haul

The new ring

Stamped 14k TW

Mini Cooper Keyfob (24+ grams)

Both rings I found this week

Wow, nice finds. I always wondered about the Lobo for regular detecting.

Nice one deliveryboy,

The Lobo is doing a great job, a friend of mine has one and uses it as a coin & jewelry machine, he absolutely slays them with his.

Nice job. That is what makes detecting fun

I had a LST and sold on a bad move.The LST is highly praised by many top notch detectorist.The vco is awesome.I hip mounted mine.I think you found your detector boy!

Thanks everyone, Im anticipating doing some prospecting in the near future, so I am enjoying learning the machine better I really love searching in the all metal mode then toggling to discrimnate. Hearing the ground is quite interesting, the Lobo is so simple to pinpoint with too I rarely have to use pinpoint toggle, just a few swipes and 99% of targets I can dig right on.

just for kicks I took them to a pawn shop and asked what they would give me on a loan, they offered $95 for the Yellow gold and $110 for the white gold, Im trying to estimate their values without paying an appraiser. I'm guessing they have decent value for a pawn shop to offer $100 since they usually rip you off lol....anyone have any guesses on their values?

 

[SpiritRelic]

Descent pawn shops start a offer around the area of paying you about one third they may sell it for. So take the number they give you and x's by 3.The LST is a cool detector.I would like to get another myself just for the fact of the ability to hip mount.I love just swinging the pole and coil.When i am more comfortable i tend to hunt better and find more.

thanks for that tip spirit i was estimating $500 to $600 new obviously new prices are inflated, but hey about $600 in value not bad.
