Amatuer here. sponging up all info and attempting the 25 post mark!

my dream is to be able to travel without having to worry about a corporate day job. i play guitar pretty well so i might just busk my way around the country soon, or what's left of the country.. politics.. being an adult is scary. haha.  <~~~~~~~~~ Ah to be young again! lol. I played drums and sang in a hard rock band in the 80's. My grandfather told me I could play drums......or I could grow up....but you  cant do both!  He was right, but ya know what? I had fun, and I learned the hard way. But I worked my ass off the whole time, and when my daughter came along..it was time to drop those foolish dreams. Good luck, hope you strike it rich, but please be responsible along the way, you'll thank yourself later.

hahaha, you make a good point Homefire. but grammatically, that could be fixed. i always capitalize proper nouns though. i would rather help my uncle, Jack, off a mule. i'll remember that!    as a noob i know my place and will be nothing but co-operative!

so. mi amigos. as far as my amateur abilities go, which would be the best VLF/PI detector to build from the available schematics here? i need some definitive info, more than what i'm finding with subjective opinions here and there. the Lobo looks interesting.

what my requirements are is to search fine gold objects within 3' of the surface. able to find good sized nuggets and also pinchers.. if that's possible. i want to scan only for gold. i couldn't care less for nickels/artifacts/etc. only gold. man i wish i could afford that Garret Scorpion..

i will be searching around small streams and will probably immerse the coil. i have experience with epoxies and will waterproof it that way, being no stranger to coils. but i will be using it in dry land mostly. waterproofing is not an issue. the issue is the lack of coil diagrams. i don't expect to be led by hand to a forum. just tell me which ones are most capable of the task at hand and i'll change my search terms accordingly.

thanks in advance for helping this wet eared youngin'!  charge!

thanks for the advice! i try to be responsible. i'm frugile, etc. i could dissagree with the drum playing and the being an adult. times change and i believe you could easily have a set in your garage and play it after work! haha. might annoy the family and neighbors. property values would decrease due to a neighborhood in unrest. cops would be busting down your garage door.. yep, i can see what your grandfather was saying. but wait! they have electronic drumsets you can hook headphones into! problem solved! hahaha. but man, those are very expensive.

	B.  If you Refuse to speak English you will not be allowed to post any more.

Except for calling us amigos, it looks like he is doing English all right. May I guess that you were joking? Hard to tell without the smileys.

Ok, point has been taken. I will endeavor to never forget to capitalize. Nor will I speak a word any different from English, whether it be a part of a simple phrase of slang that everybody knows.. or not.  

Now that THAT has been cleared up, would someone please pay attention to the previous content and not the way it was presented, even if it was clearly explicit in demands and communications?
Geez, I've become frustrated. As Spock might say, "I was caught off guard only momentarily. It will never happen again. Let's continue with the discussion of relevant matters."

Here's a more specific question to elucidate upon. Which version is better suited for what I want to do: the Tesoro Lobo, or the Tesoro Golden Sabre?

Thanks, once again, for any future hospitable advice. Regardless of the "smart-mouthed" vibe of this particular reply, any potential positive replies are GREATLY appreciated.

Now I am ready to hear what your years of experience have to say, assuming you can now understand this.
