thank you all for the warm welcome. have had many good finds. the best are a 1808 large cent, 1857 half dime, 1900 dime, 1945 merc dime, 54-56 ford customline hood ornament that is in good shape.

it is cool. found by a river dam. not deep either. it is heavy. found out 56 was the last year of the customline. 57 they renamed it crown victoria. fun researching stuff you find, for me anyway. the next weekend i found a 1944 henning counterfeit nickel in the same area. that was neat reading about those.

Welcome aboard! It sounds like you are already doing great with the Vaq!

thanks rainyday. not to bad for just starting out. on the face book pages, i tell people who ask what a good first detector they should get to get the vaq.

The Vaq is a great first detector, but in reality any Tesoro would serve them well. If they don't have a large budget and don't have heavily mineralized soil, a Cibola, Silver, or Compadre would also be great choices.

And Yep, for just starting out you have made some really great finds! It sounds like you have a good handle on how to effectively use your Vaq. Now it's just location, location, location!
