Congrats on the gold and silver!! Tot lots can be just filled with goodies and its always nice when a piece of silver or gold pops up. I even found a silver Kennedy Half in a tot lot once!!

Hay Mike,

You asked;

Here's what I do.

I have found over 200 grams of gold jewelry in tha last two years.
I have only had one piece of gold jewelry that was marked wrong.
That piece looked suspisious.

If it even looks like gold to me, it probably is. I have had lots of gold
jewelry that was not marked at all.

I believe that if they are able to mark tha post like that, it's probably
real gold.

Happy Huntin,

Hay DXF Matt,

You said;

Matt,

I know tha DFX is a killer machine, OK?

But,,,,,

Tha DFX is over kill in most tot lots, even with a donut coil....

Tha best tot lot machine is tha lowley Tesoro Compadre.
$152 new.

It can not bet beat in most tot lots, PERIOD!

I don't care what all these guys who don't use one say
about it.

They're in left field.

It's one of tha best things in really bad trash also.

Remember you heard it right here,

Re: Triple Tot Lot Morn Nets a Gold & a Silver Ear Ring

Hi Tabdog, I really like your write ups of your detecting adventures. I have been following your treasure hunts for a while as a guest on finds forum. I too have a Tesoro, but a lobo ST model. With a 5.75 concentric coil on there, I do really well at tot lots. Funny thing is I can swing really fast, and it will still pick up a target. It gets fairly close to the metal childrens equipment without going crazy. Absolutely the best for playgrounds for me.
Wish you the best on future hunts :)

Hay Pakeha63,

Thanks for tha compliment. :-X

I can see where tha LST would work well in tot lots.
Most Tesoro'es do well in tot lots. The Compadre is
tha best for me, until I get in a tot lot where I just
have ta have more depth on small gold objucts.

Then I will switch to my Vaquero. If iron is a real
problem, I will use my Euro Sabre uMax.

All Tesoro'es have fast response, and most handle
iron well.

I have used other machines, but Tesoro uMax is
all I use now. The weight and cost are the main
reasons.

Happy Huntin,

Tabdog
