Tesoro Cibola - I Can't Put It Down
My modded Cibola has become my favorite detector to use. It's so much fun to use and does such a fantastic job at discriminating and separating targets.
It's hard to believe that a detector that's so small and a lightweight can do what it does. I'm amazed every time that I use it. I started the day off with one of my other detectors that has all the bells and whistles and wasn't having much success or fun.
When I switched over to the Cibola thing started popping and I started enjoying myself. In thick trash and nails the Cibola runs silky smooth.
The place that hunted today is in the older part of town and I've been over it several times before. I decided to concentrate on a really small area that looked the most promising. I wanted to clean out anything in that area that wasn't iron, so I set my discrimination accordingly.
My first good old coin was a 1912 Wheat Penny. It was around 7 inches deep and was the only wheat penny that I found today.
Right after I dug what looks like a old snuff lid, I got another good signal a few inches from where I dug the snuff lid. It had been masking a 1944 Mercury Dime. You got to remove the trash to be able to find the good stuff.
Right before I decided to call it a short day because of the heat, I got my coil over a Golden Anniversary Falstaff Token (1903 - 1953). It sure sounded good and I sure thought that I had some big silver under the search coil. Maybe next time.
