Tesoro Outlaw -Oh Yeah Baby!:tesoro::usaflag:

I got a few hours of detecting in this morning. I started out with one of my high tech detectors. I wasn't finding much with it and I wasn't having a good time, so I went back to my vehicle and got out the Outlaw with the 10.5 inch concentric coil attached and hit the open areas. I found the New York City Transit Token and a few clad coins with it, but that was about it. The token was around 1/2 inch deep.Go figure. I finally decided to change tactics. I swapped the larger coil on the Outlaw to a 5.75 inch concentric coil. I set the threshold and sensitivity wide open and had the discrimination set where zinc pennies and screw caps where breaking up. I headed down a curb line that I have detected many times before, but never with the Outlaw. I was going real slow with the coil sweep. My first target I unearthed a bent rusty nail and that had me totally confused. I re-swept the hole and got another beep. I dug down around 4 inches and popped out my first wheat penny for the day. The wheat penny coin spill had me confused as well, but it sounded way too good not to dig. I started unearthing one wheat penny after another. I just knew that there was a mercury dime hiding in that pocket spill. Well, I dug up 8 wheat pennies and didn't find any silver. I re-swept the hole and found the 9th wheat penny off to the side of the first hole. I dug a total of 14 wheat pennies before I ran out of steam (1910, 1918, 1910, 1937, 1936, 1942, 1929, 1937, 1946, 1926, 1937, 1927, 1924, 1940). I bet that curb line has been hunted many times before by others through the years. With that many wheat pennies left in the ground, you just know there's silver coins there as well.

I just love my Tesoro Outlaw.:)

I dont think I ever seen a token with a separate center piece before. Thats kind of odd.
 
tabman......

Nice pocket spill of wheat pennies, next time you will get the silver. Hopefully a pocket spill of silver:beers:
 
Awesome day out detecting. The Outlaw sounds like a champ! You nailed it in your third sentence. You weren't having fun, so you relied on a Tesoro to bring the fun back in. I totally get that!

Gunnar I was thinking about you today when I had the coil over the token. It sounded loud like a screw cap, but with a slight fuller tone, not tinny sounding like a screw cap.

When I sized it up in all metal, like I've seen you do in one of your videos, it sounded off near the center of the coil, not on the edge of the coil like a screw cap does.

Thanks

nice job wear did you say that curb line was i wont tell no one :rofl:
 
wow what luck!! very nice
 
cool tab I am gladd you tried that out , because somtimes disc will sound off on a flat or round Iron Item , but say you have just dug 100 targets and you dont really feel like digging another Iron , then the all metal can I,D that thing most of the time and you can move on
