I already bought the Root Slayer Mini. So far I like it. Digs a nice clean plug and is a convenient size. I "may" have liked the Nomad but it seemed too long for what I  wanted.

When will this be available to buy one and how?

Thanks

It's been a park since 1928 and supposedly no fill in this area. Was a farm at one time though.

Old farm?

 No. Actually a city park. Not sure why it is where it is.

How long ago would you say this was used?  Depth and location are NOT very helpful?

This is what I like about this. Sometimes it isn't WHAT we find but the mystery of WHERE and WHY.

Found this about 10" down with my Vaquero. Thinking drive chain link of some kind.

Good luck and have fun. I know I'm just learning to use my detectors.

I was just up the Presque Isle this summer. Nice area.

Looking to add a shovel to my arsenal. Want a small footprint and at this point don't need anything to heavy duty as I'm not really searching anywhere with much roots. Just need something bigger and a little tougher than my trowel. Oh, and it also needs to be reasonably priced.

Thanks

I will both keep you posted and ask questions!!!!

OK. Just won the 9*8 on Ebay!!!!!!  I usually don't do Ebay but really want a concentric coil for this thing.  Now to wait until it arrives which with my luck will be just about the time the ground freezes!!!!!🙄

Thanks. I'm actually watching this as we speak. See where we end up as I can't get ridiculous in bidding.

Was just checking Tesoro coils on eBay and I believe I saw a 5.75 concentric for the Vaquero 

Thanks but the only thing I see is the 8 ft cable version and I don't know how to shorten it. Also, there's a widescan on there too.

The stock Vaquero coil is a 9x8 Concentric.  Do you not have that one?

Thanks!

Nope

11*8 dd coil on mine. That's what is stock on the black version Vaquero.

Thanks for the welcome. I've got a couple of finds that I'll post eventually when I get them cleaned a little to see if I know what they are.

Thanks. I'll have to give one a shot. At least they seem to be obtainable.  Been looking for a 5.75" but even the places that say they have them don't.

OK. I have a nice little Compadre with the 5.75" coil. I also have a Vaquero with the 11*8 coil.   Will I benefit having a Concentric coil for my Vaquero or would it be a little bit redundant?  And what coil would you get, as the 5.75" concentric is pretty much unobtainable, for the Vaquero if replacing the coil?

Thanks

Fairly new to treasure hunting/metal detecting. Have had an old Garrett and Bounty hunter but never really messed with them. Then I stumbled onto a Tesoro Compadre.  Bought it over the internet rather cheaply. What a piece of junk I thought as I took it out of the box.  WRONG!!!!!!   I've found more with it than everything combined. It talked me into a big brother so I picked up a Vaquero, which I'm still learning. Didn't ever think I'd get excited over a chunk of scrap in the dirt but here I am.😊

Found more with my Compadre that any other detector.  Probably try to find a spare one day just in case!!!!

Man, I wish I could find one of those coils! Been looking but the are not to be found. Every place I checked didn't actually have any.

I just bought a Tesoro 5.75 concentric for it off amazon for $65. Everyone on Ebay wanted over $100 for that coil.
