I found a 1906 barber dime and a 1917 buffalo nickle two days ago in my yard with my vaquero. It was my first barber so I was pretty happy.

Found some nice trash, coins, and a knife with my Tiger Shark, yesterday.
Found several nice rings about two weeks ago.

I would love to find silver and old coins. the oldest I have found is an 1918 Wheat and two 1957 silver coins. Awesome finds. I am going to keep looking. I did find a really nice 14K necklace lastnight.

I found these at a road tear up in a local historic district. Check construction sites, road and sidewalk tearups - I always find something at them. What I do is find old cities near where I live and google search the city name and road construction for instance,

"saginaw road construction" or "Saginaw road closures" or whatever you can think of.

Sometimes the results will be articles in local newspapers that tell you when the roads will be closed and sometimes they will have maps - so then you just watch the site and wait for the bulldozers to tear up the concrete and go to work. Another thing I do is tell my friends to notify me when they see orange cones or dump trucks - sometimes that works.

Another thing you can do is look for sidewalks that are in obvious disrepair in old parts of town. Make a mental note of them and check back often. There was this jacked up broken sidewalk in front of an 1870's church near me that was hazardous to pedestrians and I knew it was going to be replaced eventually. Well, I kept looking every week and then i noticed orange spray paint on the concrete, which I took to mean that they were going to replace it. Sure enough, they did a week later and I found an 1867 2 cent piece there in the middle of the sidewalk. So that worked. Around here it seems like spring is the time for construction projects.

i bought a new tiger shark about three weeks ago, its my new hobby since I'm undergoing chemo therapy due to cancer. I am only hunting cape cod beaches on my off week which is every other week because of the side effects of my therapy. Anyway I've had what i think is pretty remarkable success with the TS, I found a total of 23 rings Three of which I've returned to owners,2 watches same day 25 feet apart both time both still ticking, countless ear rings and $108 in clad. I am not new to the site, but i am new to posting and have yet to figure out how to post pictures. Two of the rings i had appraised and worth over $2000, plus three other gold bands not appraised yet. Best of luck with your hunting, i can only say this, there is nothing that compares with the thrill I get when I shake out that sand from my scoop,and I'm staring at a shiny gold & diamond ring. Sorry for being so long winded, i just love this hobby.

Tesoro seems to be making a name for themselves for sure in their detectors and service. My next detector is going to be the Tejon.

You will NEVER regret buying a Tesoro. They make AWESOME machines. No I don't work for them or sell them but they are super detectors, and really great people to work with.
