New Vaquero

[Gonehunting]

I just got my Tesoro Vaquero yesterday. I took it out of the box on my lunch break and went outside to our gravel parking lot.. i found 2 clad dimes, and 3 lincolns. and we have a lot of trash out there. i was so excited at the desrimation it has.. when i got home it was already dark and I took it out in the yard and found a 20's or 30's peice of costume jewlry. it sounded off like quarter and was about the size of one.. it was a 7 1/2 inches.. color me impressed.. sorry no pics yet. will try to get something loaded by monday...

I have heard those Tesoros are nice machines and are very lite weight. I understand the coil runs at 18 KHz or around there, you will probably dig small targets that sound great very deep. HH and have fun with your new machine, Mike

You will love your new Vaquero! I have been detecting for about 7 years and have had 3 Fishers, 1 Garrett,
2 Minelabs. My favorite detector for the last 5 years has been my Minelab Explorer XS, but I bought a Tesoro Vaquero last year and love it. It is so light and easy to swing that I added another Tesoro, a DeLeon to my collection. The Vaquero is great on small coins and rings. It truly shines on gold! I use the DeLeon in parks and school yards just to find coins, the Vaquero at old home sites and a couple of Civil War sites, and the Explorer XS everywhere. After working a new area with the Explorer I then try the Tesoro units. All detectors will find "treasure", but sometimes changing to a detector that uses a different frequency makes the site give up a lot more stuff.
Welcome to the best forum on the web and keep us informed of your finds.
Happy Hunting!

Congrats on the new Vaq, Gonehunting. Look forward to seeing and hearing about your successes with it.

I tried one last summer, but had a problem hearing the low tones, so exchanged it for an XTerra 70. Now my hearing problem has been corrected and there's a high tone option on the Vaq's, which would help.

I preferred it to the XTerra; just got to find a dealer willing to trade and I'll be back in Tesoro land

Welcome-
Bought a Vaquero myself this fall, absolutely love it. Found my first and second gold rings within three weeks of owning. Still getting used to the ground balance, and I have had some difficulty with the very deep stuff, but I'm sure it's just an experience thing...
Good luck, make sure you post your finds for us to see!
