Tesoro Metal Detectors Still Rocking

[tabman]

I arrived at the site at 5:45 and started swinging my modded Cibola with the NEL Sharpshooter coil. The settings: a little negative on the ground balance, full sensitivity, a very slight threshold hum and I had the discrimination set just high enough to discriminate out a iron nail.

The ground was bone dry from the lack of rain and the heat and humidity was stifling.

By 8:15 I wringing wet from the heat and hadn't found any silver even after grid searching the entire front yard. I decided to grid search it at a different angle to see if could get my coil over some silver. That did the trick, I found 2 Rosie Dimes (1962, 1952) and a 1945 War Nickel. All in in 15 minutes.

I was ready for the house, but a guy from the house next door came out in his driveway to get the news paper and asked what I was looking for. I told him that I had permission from his neighbor to search her yard and I was looking for coins minted in 1964 and before.

Without me even asking, he told me that I could search his yard as well. I was about wore out from the heat but couldn't resist the offer. I only hunted his yard for about 30 minutes, but I managed to find 2 sterling pieces of jewelry, a ring and a pendant.

You are my kind of guy. I wish I could detect as often as you. Seems to me you find some nice hunting sites. You always pull some cool things.

Thanks. I keep saying that location is the key factor in finding the good stuff. That and a good detector and knowing how to use it.

It's a automatic no if you don't ask permission to hunt a site. If you ask permission you got a good chance of getting the go ahead. The worse that can happen is they say no.

That modded Cibby seems to be drawn to silver every time you go out! Congrats again!

The circuits boards are suppose to be the same, but I have it in my mind that the Cibola runs smoother. It might not be true, but I believe it.
