Not much still, but I think if there was anything good to be found this machine would be finding it ;D Found this on paths iv already detected countless times. Not much, just peters and UMC Arrow shotgun shells and a neat old bullet. Not sure what kind the bullet is but I think iv seen similar ones on cw sites. The bullet was really deep, almost 7 inches.

Keep on working with it and you two will become a team.

Thanks guys, love the new detector, gettin alot I missed with my old one :) Everyone asks if im in a cw area, why is that? Are these finds typical of a cw camp? as far as i know its just been used for hunting/farming since the early 1700's. No record of cw stuff here, but there might have been indian encounters and stuff as iv read in history books.

Maybe not so much Civil War , Jake...a little earlier....wasnt your entire town a outpost in the French Indian War....search the records of the historical society there ....who first owned the farm?

Good luck on your new Hunts!!!!

So Jake, you're learning the truth about Tesoro.

It's amazing how on another forum they almost constantly run-down all Tesoros. They call them cheap, outdated, poor in depth, bad target ID, etc. LOL!

Anyway, you seem to have a good number of friends here and they'll believe you.

Get ready to find stuff you never dreamed was at that site. ;)

Keep at it Jake. As you learn your new detector the finds will get better and better. And it sounds like you're in an area with a lot of good hunting potential. Good Luck and keep us posted.

Jake, I'm glad to hear of more Tesoro users on this forum. I think that you are going to be amazed at how much stuff that your going to find that other Brands, and other TID machines, missed. I use a Lobo Super Traq and a Vaquero, and I'll never go back to the other brands.

Tesoro. Minelab. Fisher.
Tesoro metal detectors are very good detectors..
They are light, affordable and have a lifetime warranty...I bought mine in 1986, broke down in 1999, sent it for repair in 2001 and it was fixed for free... :)
I found plenty of silver coins and my only gold coin with the golden sabre...

That is not to say that all other detectors are good too .
.
I owned three fishers, (Though the Gemini 3 was not that good at all)...One Radio shack detector....not good back then...One treasure sensor, you had to dig everything, and two dowsing rods...no luck here ...

I have Minelab now that I use in combination with my Tesoro on manicured lawns...The Gt is for finding the targets, and the Tesoro with the 4 inch coil is for pinpointing the target...

I put a marker on top of every signal, before using the small coil.

I also have a Sand Shark for when I go snorkling...Once a year...lou
