    I'm new to Tesoros and have a Tejon on the way...

    Hi Folks, As the title says, I'm new to Tesoro but they have always appealed to me. I almost bought a Vaquero last year but ended up finding a good deal on an Explorer SX and I have really learned alot using it, but it gets a lil heavy and has a fairly slow recovery time in the trash. Anyways I...

    Anyone try the 8.5x11 on a gtp1350?:detecting:

    :wave:Hey guys! As the title states I'm looking for any experience or opinions of this combo or with a similar machine such as the gti 1250 with the new 8.5x11. Do you think it gives a performance advantage over the stock coil as a general purpose coin/park coil? How about in higher...

    GTP1350 problem, new batteries and it went nuts

    Is there something to look for or some kind of hard reset to fix this? Everything was working fine untill new batteries were installed and now the machine is going crazy beeping and grunting nonstop. Any suggestions or does it need to go in for warranty? Thanks in advance, Backlashd

    1 silver ring and 1.2 silver Washingtons :huh:

    Hi folks, I have mostly been finding lots of clad but the last two trips yeilded some interesting finds. The whole quarter is a 1948(silver #3 for me :biggrin:) which I found last week on a quick half hour hunt, the same day my dad found a 1949d Roosevelt- his first silver. I was real happy for...

    GTP1350, any advice?

    Hi folks! My dad has a GT1350 and I'm looking for any advice on this machine for coinshooting or relics. What settings do you run? What kind of depth do you get on coins? He is also interested in getting another coil for it, any you'd recommend? Thanks and HH, Backlashd

    I had to work for it

    Well these are from 2 hunts actually. Yesterday I went to the old park where I had just about given up on finding any silver. I hunted a few different areas and found some modern coins and thats about it. Then I went to a real trashy area near a parking lot and low and behold I dug a wheat-1920d...

    Finally my first silver!:biggrin:

    I had about an hour after work today and I stumbled upon what looks like an old obscure ball diamond. After digging 5 or 6 aluminum can scraps I had a good signal from one direction and a lower signal from the other direction.:unsure: It was deep so what the heck. I got down to about 8 inches or...

    Todays finds, three pence?

    Hi guys, I got out today after work and went to a new spot. I found some clad, a 1948 wheat penny and a 1943 three pence! Its not the silver variety unfortunately.The only thing I can guess is it was brought over by a soldier after WWII. I guess I just have a knack for finding foriegn...

    Which pinpointer to use with my Explorer?

    Just looking for opinions comparing the sunray with the pistol probe pro's and con's for use with my explorer. I'm open to other suggestions too. Sorry if this is in the wrong forum, but I really wanted Explorer users input. Thanx in advance and HH, Backlashd

    New Explorer XS owner :jump:

    Hi guys, I've been looking for a new detector and found a deal on an Explorer XS. I'm really excited about this machine and I'm looking for any info or links to try to get a head start before it arrives. Any tips are appreciated! Thanks, Backlashd

    MXT or Vaquero, I can't decide...

    Hey Guys and Gals, I've been researching a new detector with the help from you kind folks here.:beers: I think I've narrowed my choice to these models as they seem readily available used and seem like great bang for the buck and very versatile. I probably will never prospect for gold, rather...

    Should I go Tesoro??

    Hi all, New guy here but I've been reading on the forums for a while. I currently have a BH505 but I'm planning my next detector purchase. Several have recomended the MXT or M6 to me and I'm leaning that direction, but I want some Tesoro users' input. I will mostly coinshoot and do some relic...

    which detector next ??

    Hi, new guy here,but I've been reading on the forum for several weeks. I just got my first detector, a BH pioneer 505, and I am enjoying it quite a bit. I know its not a high end unit, but I have learned alot about it and have found quite a bit of clad with it. The all-metal mode is extremely...
