    Tesoro's New Repair Policy?

    :cool: I am not really complaining about this. I just thought I would give out a "heads up" to all you Tesoro owners. They will no longer fix used units for free. You must prove that you are the original owner. I don't blame them for doing this but there was no warning ahead of time. Happy Hunting.

    Tesoro Catalog Typo

    :cool: I thought I had better get off the subject of repairs for awhile before I get into some real hot water so I am posting this instead. I have the newest Tesoro Products catalog that has Ron Barnes on the cover. I noticed that on the Table of Contents page that the Deleon is missing from the...

    Nine Volt Battery Mystery

    :cool: Recently I found a 9 volt battery in some of my stuff. I tested it and it read 9.5 volts. I used it in my Compadre on my last hunt. About 10 minutes into the hunt,.... the detector went crazy !!! It was acting like the battery was dead. I tested the voltage again and it still read 9.5...

    :cool: Hi Guys, I am anxiously awaiting news about the reworked Golden Umax. I hope it comes out this fall because that is my busiest hunting season. I have been hearing rumors about other brands producing new models in the fall also. My dealer told me that White's is working on something to...

    Old & New Goldens & 53 Silver demo..............

    :cool: I just watched 53 Silver's demo on the NEW Golden uMax. It was excellent.:clapping: I tried to do exactly what he did using the notch feature on my OLDER Golden uMax. Everything worked the same EXCEPT when I flipped the notch switch to "narrow" I lost the zinc penny while he DID NOT lose...

    Too Much Advertising & Mass Marketing

    :cool: Hey Guys & Gals, I know I will probably get into hot water over this, but something has been bothering me for a long time. :ranting: There is too much advertising about our hobby. TV, YouTube, Discovery Channel, etc. Why do we want every Tom, Dick, and Harry knowing about this...

    Bounty Hunter Parts & Accessories

    :cool: Where do you guys find parts and accessories for Bounty Hunter units? I don't have a dealer in my state. Also I looked at accessories on the BH website and they are way over priced in my opinion. They don't have access to parts on the site anymore like they used to either. Thanks and...

    Carl at Tesoro

    :cool: To say we all appreciate Rusty would be an understatement. He is one of a kind and could never be replaced. However,...Rusty told me that a fellow by the name of Carl does most of the actual repairs while Rusty does most of the calling and PR work. So I want to shout out to Carl a big...

    Golden uMax Question

    Hi :cool: I need some advise from you Golden users. My Golden checks out fine in the "no notch" mode. All targets and zinc tones sound out just as they should. When I switch to "narrow" the zinc is automatically knocked out and I cant notch it back in no matter what I try to do. Is this normal...

    Original BH Sharpshooter

    :cool: Hi, Just thought I would share something with anyone who owns a Bounty Hunter metal detector. I used to own a BH Sharpshooter II ( the round face box,...muffler on a stick look). It was a good unit but I could never get the notch and auto notch features to work right. I recently obtained...

    First Production Sharpshooter

    :cool: Does anyone out there remember the original Sharpshooter ? I had a SS II that I wish I had never sold. I think the first one was better. I would like to know your experience with this unit. Thanks.

    Golden and 7 inch widescan coil

    :cool: I have always used the 9X10 spoked coil on the Golden uMax but today I did something different. I took the 7 inch widescan coil that I had on my Silver Sabre uMax and switched it to the Golden. After air tests I found out that the Silver Sabre now gets about 3 more inches while the Golden...

    Confused About The Cortes

    :cool: I have been reading some of the posts concerning the Cortes and I have a question. The new Tesoro catalog says, " In addition to the expansive information provided by the VDI, the Cortes boasts nine different tones for superior audio identification". So,..does this mean that there is a...

    Why Tesoro ?

    :cool: Hi everyone, :detecting: Almost every time I go out with hunting partners that use different brand units,... they ask me the same question. " Why do you use Tesoro?" Most of the time they look puzzled about how such a small box on a detector can be just as effective as their big box...

    I Finally Figured It Out

    :cool: Well, It took me a while but I finally figured out how the notch system works on the Golden uMax. It is working well for me but it's still hard to know exactly what is being discriminated out. I am happy just to know the average junk is being notched out. Most all of my hunting is in...
