My dad and I recently upgraded from our old Tesoro machines (now that they're out of business) with new Vanquish 540s. Today we broke them in at a new permission: an old homesite thought to be from the 1800s. Sadly, no silver but we did find some good stuff and will definitely be going back for another go. We are loving the new machines! They go super deep and are accurate with pinpointing, depth, and target ID. The iron bias works great on small nails and such, though it does still pick up the larger iron nails and spikes.
The finds:
1910 Wheatie
1919 Wheatie
1968 Memorial penny
Brass/copper hose nozzle
Double bit axe head
UMC Co. 12ga casing
Harmonica reeds
Small shoe nail?
Unremarkable ring of some sort
