I am extremely grateful for the friendship and and fellowship of brother TNet member Terry Soloman. In an extraordinary gesture, Terry traveled to my home to show me a Vaquero and the benefits of having a detector that will significantly improve my ability to find deeper signals. As many of you know, I have been using an entry level Compadre detector. While the Compadre is a wonderful machine, I feel I have been getting stonewalled on older finds because of depth range. Terry visited my wife and I (briefly) and we spent some time together with a couple Vaqueros on a morning hunt. I had picked out several (private permission) colonial farms that I thought might be good producers and have never been detected. Unfortunately, the day we hunted was one of the most brutal for heat index and humidity that we have had this year and it cut our exploits short. The colonial farm I chose, and we detected, didn't surrender the finds that I anticipated and was a sore disappointment. Although we both found typical and atypical farm relics, the only coin of consequence was this war nickel (my first) I found under the clothes lines........

The depth difference was noticeable and.........that Vaquero is now mine!!

I did a short hunt today with the Vaquero at an area that I have personally pounded more than 20 times with the Compadre, gridding and re-gridding over and over while learning. I chose a 4x30 foot section and re-searched that area for 20 minutes. The ground was dry and hard.......every find was at 6" or more..........

My personal thanks and gratitude to you, Terry.......and the door is open any time you wish to visit..............

Congrats on your finds and new machine
 

Congrats to you Chizzy on the Vaquero.
A tip of the hat to Terry for his generous support of a fellow treasure hunter.
You see,, there really are some nice guys up here in New York.
 

Thanks Chuck! It was so nice meeting you and Ann. I was really touched by your hospitality, and I enjoyed our time together in the field and at your home. I still can't get over how beautiful Williamsport is, and the incredible properties you have access to. I can't wait to get back and go hunting with you again. :occasion14:

As I said, Terry.....the welcome will always be out for you. And, maybe I can do a better job of finding that "real" spot for you!!
