    Tesoro Golden uMax mods

    Does anyone have details on two changes to the Golden umax? 1. Adding ground balance pot. Part numbers, especially and any helpful tips for working in that tight little control box... 2. Which pot on the board is the adjustment for frequency separation? Thanks

    After work Junket :detecting:

    ...Dont you like that fancy word?: "junk-et" I took one of my detectors with me when I went to work with hopes of hitting a spot on the way home. Oh save the day!, I made it! The site is an airport that has been in use since the 30's. During the 40's and 50's it was expanded and eventually...

    A little walk up the street...

    Got out today for a short while with the Classic III/5.3 Black Max coil and the Ace 250/stock coil today. Once again, it seems I have the grip or a cold or what have you and just don

    A little comparison test...Garretts shine :garrett:

    Recently, I got a great deal on a Whites Classic III, along with a 5.3" Black Max coil. I have always liked the Classics; the instrument just swings so naturally in the hand, what with it's counterbalanced configuration. It is easy to like, right off. Of course there is no real ground coverage...

    "Mr. Bill" Classic III: A little more testing...

    I am slowly becoming enamored of this CIII SL, with the 5.3 "Black Max" coil. It just swings so naturally in the hand. Of course there is no real ground coverage, but working it in tight around trash and park equipment oughta be a breeze. Since that will be the first task I put it to, it seems...

    Hit my first hot rock in a ver y long time....

    ...yesterday with my Golden. Here in South Carolina there isnt much mineralization and hot rocks are "imported". Sometimes in a gravel bed or parking lot youll get them, too. I got a signal over this big lunchbox sized rock and kept getting it. I had my suspicions so switched to all metal -...

    New Golden out for a spin...

    ...took the little Golden uMax out for a whirl today. Very interesting... Pure Tesoro DISC and lots of tones. I had gone over the same area with my GTP 1350 set wide open to accept all metal, and knew there was lots of trash. The Golden knew it, too. As usual with the breed, good sound good and...

    Garrett/Ace 250 take a bashing...

    .... and is championed by yours truly. Over on the Tesoro forum there was some "discussion" of the Cibola over the 250. We Garett users were likened to "paid bashers". Here was my response: "I'd buy the Cibola if I had to pay three times what the 250 costs..." "The Ace 250. It's a toy. The...

    My Ace 250 headphone mod...

    Here's how I solved the "Dangling Wire Syndrome", which is a result of the odd placement of the headphone jack on the offside rear of the control housing. For some of you, as well as me, this placement has the headphone cable always in the way, sort of dangling in front of all the proceedings...
