VAQUERO WORKING WITH -8" DIME IN SOIL HIGHIN BLACK SAND

[kaolinwasher]

For some of you this would be easy, as you may have low mineralized soil , but if you have seen some of my videos this sand has a lot of black sand in it , its definitely a bit over medium mineralized but not as badd as ,say Cullpepper from VA but it is challenging for most machines so to hit this dime @ 8 full " down is very good , I know the outlaw could not hit a dime @ 6" in this spot even with the 10x12 DD and the vaq is doing it with a concentric , which tells me it may do even better with a DD on it but hear is the video , I noted that it did better with a negative ground balance as a posed to positive you can see that [video]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3E6nAbirWaM[/video]

Gunnar, another great video. You really have me pumped about my Vaquero arriving on Tuesday.

That's good to know about the negative ground balance, I have a golden uMax and when you set the threshold where you can hear it and pump the coil the ground balance is factory set just a little negative. I'm in AZ and we have some fairly mineralized dirt. maybe a good thing for this machine but no comparison to the Vaquero as far as depth goes. Nice trappin' on the critters and good video. I used to take the old Honda 175 dirt bike, put a garden hose in the tail pipe, stick it in the gopher hole, kick start it, let her run for a while, no more gophers in the garden.

Nice video Gunnar. Very informative.

What was that comment about texas instruments about?

 

[kaolinwasher]

somone mistakenly thinks tesoro has been bought out by Texas instruments, if this is so its news to me ,

 

[happycamper08]

OK. I figured if that was the case someone on here would be talking about it.

FTP did buy Teknetics & Bounty Hunter long ago, and then Fisher when they were dying, so maybe such a buy-out wouldn't be such a bad thing. It might bring about some more up-to-date technology and [size=small](in some ways)[/size] some better models in a line-up. It would be in interesting, and I doubt we'd see 8 years go by without a new re-done detector.

Careful Monte, you'll be accused of "whining"!

Gunnar you turning up the discrimination clearly shows that the Vaquero can find deep silver without having to dig a lot of trash. Most people using detectors with several tones mostly dig the high tone targets anyway and ignore the other tones. I call it high toning. I do it sometimes, but It's hard for me, because I'm afraid I'm going to miss a nice gold ring. For those who don't care, crank up the discrimination on a Tesoro single tone detector and you can accomplish the same thing as a detector with several tones when just searching for silver or clad coins.
