Best Tesoro ever made!
Ron Lambert in Mechanic Falls, Maine. USA. -
I've had and have a lot of detectors but this ones my favorite, it loves small gold and is very sensitive, it's also deep, i can detect a silver 1964 dime at 8 inches, with the optional 10x12 spoke coil it's my number one salt water beach detector, it's very easy to ground balance and stable in the wet sand, and deep! bring a shovel, no kidding. To me the features are perfect, pinpointing is super easy too! using the x method, The stock brown coil is weighted, very nice when hunting in the shallows where regular coils tend to float, although it makes the detector a little off balance. The all metal mode with Retune feature is great, in this mode the detector nulls out when getting closer to your target, this is also a good way to pinpoint your target and works good on very deep targets. I get a weeks worth of hunting on one 9volt battery! very nice! if you can find one of these buy it! they range in price from 200 dollars on ebay to 350 in stores used. Tesoro really did their homework with this one! I love it!!!

This is a good detector, and it's what I currently use. I've had it about 1 year, and bought it used on eBay. I did have a short in the coil, which Tesoro promptly serviced for me. This detector takes quite a bit of time and practice to get used to, as it's a single-tone discriminator. It's the only detector that I've found gold with, but you've gotta be willing to dig the pulltabs.
With all my detectors, the 4" coil is a must-have accessory, as the stock coil is only used at the beach. I also use the widescan coil, while expensive, can work great in the right conditions.
