Cibola's Summer School Surprise!

I dropped my RN, BSN off at the hospital this morning at 5:45am, and headed to an old school on the mighty Hudson River, near Tarrytown, New York. I got two solid hours in before summer camp counselors started arriving and I called it quits.

My new Tesoro Cibola continues to impress me with its discrimination abilities. I was screening out iron and foil, but not nickels. I got the small junk ring at about 11” in loose dirt. I was nailing dimes at 9”-“11” with no problem hearing them without headphones! Both nickels were about 4” – 6” deep.

The two 1940 Wheat pennies were on their sides - side-by-side, six-inches down and gave me a double beep. The Shield nickel came next, under a big Oak tree, about 8” down on top of a root in clay. I was dripping sweat so bad on my glasses I thought it was a quarter at first, and just threw it in my finds bag! In fact, I thought the 1892 Indian Head was the find of the day until I got home and dumped everything in the sink. Surprise! V-Nickel!

The Cibola is a sleeper for sure. Most pass it up because if has no ground balance which they only need it they have bad ground.
 

Wow Terry....11 inches, Don't think I ever did that with my Tejon. Nice job!!

You should be getting 11" with the Tejon on a dime easily! When you super tune the Cibola and set discrimination just above iron, the depth in soils here in New York is scary deep so far!
 

Wow, bet you can't wait to hit that spot again.
