Who says you dig a lot of trash with a Tesoro?

[dan b]

Yeah, I dug some this morning. I also dug 93 coins in 3 hours. Check out the picture and you be the judge. Is this a lot of scrap considering the volume of coins? By the way, it was $11.55 in clad.

Looks like a very reasonable trash to goodie ratio to me.

Dan , thats a lot of digs, and most good targets , and most of the trash would fall in the gold ring disc , man you have some energy , I dig lots of trash with all my metal detectors its just the way i hunt, as a dog likes to fetch the stick i like to fetch the beep no matter what it is .

That looks about right for coin shooting, and inspecting a few of those crazy signals along the way. Nice fast work for 3hrs...good job!

That's a bunch of coins.

What was your discrimination setting and what kind of location were you detecting?

I was using the Vaquero with the disc just a hair under 5 cent, and thumbing it to just a hair over tab if the signal was iffy. Now remember, I'm in Canada, so US nickels aren't a factor. I could easily have kept it just over tab and still covered all our Canadian coins. However, there is still a chance at gold with the lower disc. I was running the sens at 10 and the thresold at 3 o'clock.

Location...well, that's the reason I did so well (not to detract from the awesomeness of the Vaq). It was a hockey rink that has been closed and is facing a possible demolition. It was not that old, built in the early 70's. I remember when it was built. I use to skate there occasionally as a kid, and I remember where people would line up to get in. That's where I focused today. I've pulled out over 300 coins from that property so far. Nothing real old, early 50's (a US wheaty) so far. I will keep at it until it snows. I'm sure there is a ring there somewhere!

My Deleon should be here tomorrow, so I'm going to give that a try next time. I'll retrace some of my areas I covered just to see if the Deleon picks up anything I missed.

well done! Thats not a lot of trash at all. My Outlaw loved rusty nails, but if I was coinshooting I would only dig a few deep beavertail tabs and a piece of can slaw every now and then. If I was not in a heavy nail area, I rarely dug trash. Looks like the Vaq is about the same.

Important thing is how many goodies you dig.

Take it from Zoomer and me, trash is where it's at.
Set your disc just so a Ca clad dime is accepted.
Your clad count will go up.
And if you make sure your disc is set to pick up a Loonie on edge, you
might just be amazed how many on edge coins everyone passed by that you will
be picking up.

Good luck with the Deleon. Let us know what you find.
Haven't been out in a week, just getting over a cold......

Thanks for the tips. I'll try them next time.

Still no Deleon! It's lost somewhere in post office land! I hope it shows up before winter!!
