    Sovereign slow

    Posted this on another forum but thought it might be best to put it here for the sovereign experts to offer their advice. I've had a Sov for beach hunting for several years, but haven't figured it out for old coins. Bought Ron's meter and read up on the technique. Read about hunting it slow. I...

    Tesoro sounds

    I've been using Tesoro detectors for several years and love them. But I have found it challenging to learn the tesoro language. It seemed to come pretty well with the silver uMax and compadre. Now I have a Tejon and a banditto II uMax. I'm down in my back and can't detect for a few days...

    Tejon for old coins

    I got a Tejon last fall for relic hunting. It's great for that purpose. I tried it Saturday for old coins at a heavily hunted old ball field. I did manage one old wheat from about 5 inches. No other old coins. I think this site still holds some old coins as I have pulled a couple of mercs...

    Civil war era button?

    Found this tiny button like thing today on a camp site. That is a cuff button beside it for size. It's less than 1/2 inch across. Any ideas what it is? Friend said maybe a sportsman button. Thanks, Leeinsc

    Tejon finds Civil War relics

    Hunted a Civil War camp with friends today. Tejon hit a j-hook and the bottom of a Williams cleaner bullet. Button was found by another nameless detector. Great day spent with good friends.

    Tejon maiden voyage

    I bought Gunnar's Tejon last week and took it on its maiden voyage this weekend on a club hunt to coastal SC. While the finds weren't great the fellowship was priceless. The Tejon was a joy to use. Just ground balance, set disc 1 to iron - foil range and disc 2 just below nickel. If it...

    5 pin Tesoro connectors

    Guys, Need some help. Have a friend adding ground balance, sensitivity and cable connectors to my compadre. Having trouble locating the cable connectors. I have found them online, but every vendor I have found requires that I buy $50.00 worth or more than 10 pieces etc. Do any of you guys know...

    Bandido II uMax

    Guys I'm about to pee myself. Got a new to me Tesoro on the way. What tips can you offer me for my Bandido II uMax. This is my first Tesoro with ground balance but not my first manual GB a machine. I have Whites IDX modded with GB and a sweet 5900 with that awesome dual pot GB? By the way...

    Whites 5900 Di Pro sl

    Okay guys, have to thin the herd. Bought a new toy so one has to go. I bought this 5900 last fall because I always wanted a Whites metered detector. She is really sweet for her age. I sent her to Whites for a check up shortly after I bought it (last November I think. I can post the paper...

    Ground balance pot for golden uMax

    Guys, I'm looking to add an external GB to my Golden. Read it is hard to find the correct pot. Tesoro won't sell you one and ordering them requires purchasing large amounts. Anyone have some they would be willing to sell? Also, for you guys that have done this, is there room inside or did...

    10x12 DD coil on uMax detectors

    I'm looking at getting a 10x12 DD for my silver and golden uMax. How well does this coil work on a golden? Heard it does well on the silver but nothing on the golden. Does it affect the tones and will lack of manual ground balance be a problem? Thanks, Leeinsc

    Golden really is golden: for all you snowbound northern guys

    First time out with my new to me Golden uMax. Came off of the sports complex I hunt regularly. Yellow and white gold 14k. Was a nickel/zinc tone mixed on the Golden. Loving the new machine. Leeinsc

    New Golden uMax

    Just got a new to me Golden. Took it out for a test run this evening at a ball field. Ran it no notch, min discrimination. Had the clean sweep coil on it, Noticed lots of jumpy in between tones. Nearly all were tabs or old ring pulls. Couple of high jumpy tones were dimes though. Is this...

    Silver

    Hunted another of my regular sports fields this morning with the silver-cleansweep combo. Mostly zincs, but one of the last targets was a sweet little silver ring with green stones. Thought it was a key ring at first. 1.6 grams. Love finding silver and gold. Leeinsc
