I got 1 hammered Silver of Henry I that would have paid for 2 machines(not that I ever sell anything). This year has been my first year with the machine & dad & I have had an excellent year, not sure how we can follow this one! But I'm going to try hard ;D

I do, I'll move over for 2010 and play the blindside flanker position. I gather that's the guy that gets all the finds you both missed! ;D ....and if Shaun can't do the job...
 
I would love to find a hammered

Its nicknamed 'the hammered hoover'.
 
Cru, The best test I can think of to prove what is only an assumption now, would be a Tesoro in the lead , followed by the XP GoldMaxx, and see what the Tresoro left behind.
 
:hello:

don't get concered about which machine to use if you come to England to detect, the XP is a good machine, I have had one for nearly three years now, but the only advantages it has over outher detecters mentioned on this thread, is recovery and weight :read2: you won't need the recovery unless you get a very heavy miniralized site, depth is not a issue here unless you hunt pasture, the Hammered coins will be in the top four inches on ploughed fields :P so any Tesoro will find them :thumbsup: also the XP is rubbish on depth, but like I said depth is not an issue on ploughed land :thumbsup:

Done that, it misses many small romans & a few hammered.

The Tesoro is foriegn as well but I've always liked it. What I didn't like about the XP when I first looked at it was its plastic cheap 'look'. After using it nearly a year I know I made the right choice.
Facts are it has better depth than any Tesoro I have ever used (Silver Umax,Lobo,Cortes), if you use it in all-metal. Its like any machine the more bells & whistles you mess with the less depth you get. :icon_thumright: If anyone visiting the UK wants the BEST results & not just average then this will find more hammered. Of course the Tesoro will find 'some', Dad proved it by getting 20 this year, just happens I got 4 times more on the same land!

I decided to do some experimenting with my Tesoro Vaquero, considering your (Crusader's) statement that you hunt in all-metal. So, for the first time I spent the entire session of 2 man hours and 4 dog hours going over my Roman coin area, only in all-metal. My ears took some time getting use to the noise, and I dug wire and nails, etc., relentlessly, but finally came up with this little ditty at 6 inches. I was able to find it in disc with some effort, ONLY AFTER I found it first in all-metal. Small and deep enough? Jesus medallion in gold wash. I did find bits of even smaller metal wire in all-metal.

The Vaquero looks like a toy, and weighs next to nothing, but I dig continuously with it.

:)nothing cheap looking about the XP :P carbon shaft(for weight) quality electrics(how many have built wireless headphone chip) and an almost indistructable search coil 8) but it has it's limitations (depth) and the Explorers blow them away, they are just slower...but they (Minelab)find way more Hammered coins than any outher machine in the UK.
