California Worlds Fair

California World's Fair

I found this with my Tesoro. I am new to this forum and detecting in general. I used to use my husbands White's Metal Detector and actually got quite a few nuggets with it in the past. Just got the Lobo and I am very happy with it. Posting my tin from 1939. Very proud. Getting jazzed about the prospects of finding great relics with my Hubby.

Nice tin! That's one of those license plate sings? My dad's got one on his 1924 Studebaker.

The Lobo is a classic, I used to own one. It used to make me smile as I called the sounds it made after a childhood TV show - Sooty & Sweep (if you can find any clips, you will understand why ):

Its very good at small silver & I had quite a few hammered coins with it, good luck

I have not yet gone nugget hunting , I pretty much relic hunt during the Winter. Spring and Summer I will plan on going for the gold. I like the Lobos auto ground tracking and the dealer air tested a .4 grain flake and the Lobo with slight threshold the flake sounded off at 7-8 inches ! The Lobo is a turn on and go machine and a great multi-task unit. And I love the life time warranty !

Thanks. I love this machine. I just turn it on and go. The second time I used it I founds a ladies 14k gold ring with diamonds. Need to find more goodies so that I can post them on TN. I like this forum too. Lots of you relic hunters on here. Happy New Year.
