    Thoughts on the Mojave vs the Vaquero or Outlaw?

    I'm considering purchasing the well priced new Mojave to search trashed out parks as well as an old homestead that I now have permission to hunt. I'm looking for coins and jewelry but interesting relics would not be unwelcome as well. I've read elsewhere where someone sold their Vaquero and now...

    Which 5.75" coil for Tejon Concentric or Widescan?

    I've got a new Tejon coming to me from a forum Sponsor; its the Black model with the 11x8" coil. I hear nothing but good from users that opt for the smaller 5.75 coil but the question is, which one? The concentric or widescan? I like that the widescan can pinpoint and size off the edge of the...

    MX Sport loves bottle caps :thumbdown: Also 9.5" coil thoughts?

    Any help with bottle caps on the MXS? Depending on rust content of bottle cap, I get anywhere from zinc penny up to quarter readings for them. I have used other machines in the past that came with DD coils and those just had an inherent difficulty with bottle caps(hello Fisher DD) but wanted...

    Tesoro clean sweep coil wired into a different detector?

    I no longer have a tesoro detector but have the clean sweep coil from my former Outlaw detector on hand. I loved the coverage from it and am wanting to know if I could wire it into any other brand of detector out there. For instance, I've seen/heard of someone wiring in a different brand coil to...

    Adding another water machine, Whites BHID or Tiger Shark?

    I'm using an excal 2 right now for 99% freshwater hunting but wanting to add another. I'm looking at either a Whites Beach Hunter or a Tesoro Tiger Shark. Lets pretend price is the same to toss out that factor. Which would you use and why when comparing the two for freshwater hunting. I'm aware...

    Excal II on the way

    Thanks all for the great advice on here regarding my choices between the excal, cz21 and tiger shark. While all are likely great detectors, I've always wanted and Excal so I have one coming. After some PM's from members I decided to buy new on the water machine. I know it's only a year warranty...

    Ok, here are my Excalibur related Questions

    I have not decided upon either the excal or CZ20/21 yet if I'm even going to go that route (See my other post regarding this). I like the silent search and tones of the CZ but would prefer the DD coil of the excal...not sure I like the constant humming threshold but I can get used to most...

    Already have a Sand Shark...but how about one of these?

    I recently came into a Tesoro Sand Shark on an Anderson straight shaft that I acquired for a great deal but not sure I'm wanting to keep it. I hunt freshwater 90% of the time with an occaisional trip to the coast to get in the surf so I'm looking for something that I can use mostly in freshwater...

    Outlaw on nuggets?

    Anyone ever tried the outlaw on nuggets or at least tested some to see if it will work? I know there are much better choices; just curious is all. I hear the Vaquero does ok on them.

    CZ-3D in Trash?

    I am seeing a pattern with some of my reading on this and various forums about people not recommending the CZ3D in heavy trash but nothing much about why it's not recommended for this type of hunting. I'm hoping some of you users can chime in regarding this please? I'm not so much concerned...

    Price check on CZ3D please.

    I had been kicking around obtaining a CZ machine and so happens I came across a local guy selling his for $650 firm. It's a 1021 nasa Tom tuned Los banos with the stock coil and a 5" coil in very good shape. I'm not against possibly a brand new one with warranty to have tuned by Tom either...

    Looking for my next Tesoro:surrender:

    Any suggestions? I'm after coins and jewelry; mainly coins unless it's a site that is likely to hold some jewelry. Mild Texas ground, not after deep silver either. It would be nice but there just isn't any here like there is up in the Northeast:thumbdown: I'm trying to wean myself off of...

    Arm Cuff too small?

    Hi all, received my Fors Core the other day and got out in the backyard to fool around with it a bit; nothing serious, just hitting some targets on the ground and air tests. Can't comment much about it yet but what I can say is the arm cuff is dang small! I have to force my forearm in there and...

    Ok, I'm gonna drink the Nokta koolaid

    I've a Fors Core on the way that should arrive sometime next week. I'm a coin and jewelry hunter, mainly stick to parks, who is hoping to see an upgrade in performance and finds over my AT Pro and Tesoro Outlaw. I don't live in a place that will hold much if any older coins but they do pop out...

    Dig it all or play the discrimination game?

    So my fellow tesoro swingers....do you set the discrimination at a certain spot then dig every good sounding target or do you twist the disc knob to play the guessing game of what's under my coil before making the choice to dig? For you knob turners: what determines if you recover the target or...
