Dog Tag Property Day 3..........

[Chizzy]

Following a suggestion by brother Soloman, I put the Compadre away, broke out the Vaquero and (using Tery's instructions) re-scanned the same section at the east end of the property where I found the 1917 dog tag, the wheats and the 59 Rosie. Unfortunately, I found nothing.........
Now, let me say, I am new to ground balancing and only have about 10 hours of hunting with the Vaquero.......if there was a fault, it may have been with the guy at the other end of the machine.
As an experiment, I decided to start over and re-search the north side of the property. It's about a 40 yard walk from the sidewalk to a tree stump I've been using as a break point. It's a section I've covered twice with the Compadre..........and the results.........



A couple more wheats and a 52 Rosie..............not too bad!!

Vaquero away and Compadre back in action on the east side, once again...........



More wheats and interesting relics.............

Thanks for lookin' in and good luck to all who swing the coil!!

Looks like the Tesoro detectors are serving you right Chizzy. Stay at it.

I've become very comfortable with the Compadre this past year, Loco-Digger and I'll finish out the year with it. The Vaquero still feels "alien" to me..........but, that changes come spring next year!!
