    Audio quality?

    Just wondering which Tesoro you guys think has the most descriptive audio? I have a compadre and the audio is ok. I like the single tone audio not the multi tone. I am a park jewelry hunter and have found the single tone no vid detectors to work best for me. I am mostly looking at the lobo...

    Compadre Pulls war nickel

    Went to an old park today. I tried running my GBP but it was chattering like mad on all the little foil and other trash. I switched to my modded Compadre with the 7" coil and pulled a 1943 war nickel. It was sideways in the hole with 5-6" of dirt and 2"+ of grass on top of it. The signal...

    The Vaq rocks

    I was researching the Fors CoRe and found this video. The Vaq outperforms them all. I always wanted a Vaq I think I will have to pick one up. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=agyzwic07cg

    Gold bug pro Sensitivity question.

    I got out this weekend to do some prospecting. The soil in the area I was working was between 58 and 82 on ground phase setting. I could only seem to run the GBP at about 1/3 to 1/2 sensitivity before it became too unstable. Is this normal? I dont really prospect that often with the GBP. I...

    Anyone use a 3 x 7 on a GBP?

    Just wondering if anyone has used a 3 x 7 coil from a F75 on a Gold Bug Pro for prospecting. I know they are not made for them but I also know they work?

    Battery pack

    I built a sweet battery pack for my Tesoros. The thread is in the modifications forum. So far I am really happy with how it turned out.

    rechargeable pack for 9v detectors

    This is a new pack I am building of 9v detectors. I got tired of buying 9v battery at $2 each. This pack should be good for about 2000 charges. That adds up to about 3000+ normal 9v batteries. Lots of savings. It adds very little weight and requires very little work to install. Its a 750 mah...

    Compadre vs silver

    I just did some quick air tests on my Compadre with sens mod vs my new Silver. The Silver hits a small 14k stud earring better with the stock 8" coil than the Compadre with the stock 7" coil. The compadre does better with the 5.75 than the silver on the same target. The Silver with the 10x12...

    2 silvers

    I scored a Silver umax from craigslist today for $75. on the way home I stopped to test it and scored a silver cocopele pendant. Silver finds silver within 5 miniuts of using it. I might have to buy a Golden next. I think this is going to be a fun detector.

    Vaq or Tejon

    I have always wanted a Vaq I had the chance to get one a few years ago and bought an Outlaw instead. The Outlaw and I didnt really mesh and its been sold. Now I am looking at the Vaq again. Cant buy it yet but will as soon as I get some more gold. I use my finds to pay for all detector...

    bigger coil on my GBP?

    I am looking at getting a bigger coil to complement my GBP. I already have the 5" and 5"x10" coils. I am looking at a coil more like the NEL hunter, tornado or Ultimate 13. Leaning toward the hunter for the price. What all do you use. THis will be for tailing piles and some field use. Thanks

    Sovereign vs gold bug pro for iron infested sites?

    I have a Sovereign elite and a Gold bug pro. I only have large coils of the Sov because I got it to use at the beach. I have the 5" and 5"x10" coils for the GBP. My question is if I get a small coil for the Sov like the S-5 will it out perform the GBP in really bad iron? I dont want to wast...

    Gold bug pro someone please help?

    I have a Gold bug pro, version 4 with a 5" and 5x10 coil. Here is my problem. It almost never gives me a good target id in the ground. In my soil it usually is ground balanced between 78 and 85 mostly about 81/82. In the air I get clean targets ids 57/58 on a nickle 87/88/89 on a quarter...
