Vaquero first finds

OG

New member
I think I finally got it figured out--
Here are ( hopefully ) pictures of my first finds with my new Vaquero !!
I went to visit my Grandson and while there I convinced my Son to let me do some searching in his yard with the hope that since his house was built in 1945 we might have some success, the pics are of what we found in his back yard alone and we had a ball. Some of the items are: Memorial Lincolns, Wheaties, a 1943 silver war nickle, several clad dimes, clad quarter, 1964 Jefferson nickle--28 coins in all, a silver spoon, a good luck charm, a small religious medal, a shell casing ( can't tell what calibre ), parts of a toy gun, a broken lead or tin soldier and horse, some chunks of melted metal from a fire that was at the house long before my son purchased it. I'm not sure what kind of metal they are but they sounded off when I was discing out iron, some pieces of heavy old glass that was in several of the holes where we found metal items, a small bell that may have belonged on a cat collar, an old glass marble, a zipper pull, various iron junk, and what I think may be a heel plate off of a boot ( not sure on that one so if anyone has a guess as to what the item with the heart shaped cutout is, let me know whatya think ). The toy truck, the tiny costume jewelry "diamond", and the .22 shell casings are from my yard.
I am amazed at the power and accuracy of my Vaquero, and this trip helped me learn what the V is telling me with tones alone, I'm so glad that I decided on this machine and didn't get sucked in by the digital options, and please don't be offended if you use a screen machine, there is no disrespect intended to those of you who use digital machines. Thanks to all on the Tesoro site that encouraged and advised me so far in my new hobby--er, umm--addiction.

Yes it is an Addiction. A gentleman accused me of being addicted to metal detecting as if that was something not to be proud of. I readily admit that I am Addicted and am not looking for a cure. Welcome to the fun.
 
Hi OG, that little metal thing with a heart in it is a heal plate. I have one I found many years ago at a side walk tear out. It sure looks like you are having a blast with the "V". I feel good that it went to the right person. I am so happy for you. I can't wait till you find your first gold ring. That war nickel has silver in it. Keep up the good work and most of all, just have fun... KEN from Ind.
 
Congratulations on the finds, OG. Looks like you had a lot of fun. I agree with Ken on the heel plate. I have found a couple over the years.
I have had my vaquero for a couple of years now and have found some really nice stuff with it. I'm sure you are going to enjoy yours.
 
Congratulations! Nice finds
