    Panasonic Batteries

    :cool: I think this subject has been brought up before but I have some ideas as to why Tesoro sends Panasonics batteries with their units.

    Pillar Detector by Tesoro

    :cool: There is a " Pillar " metal detector made by Tesoro on Ebay. I think it was marketed by Kellyco years ago. This one looks like the Pillar I which was a basic beep and dig machine. Did any of you ever use one of these? It looks like the same features as a vintage Silver Tesoro.

    Let's Talk About Depth

    :cool: Hello everyone, I was just reading the posts about the " V " hitting deep silver coins. I have been doing a LOT of watching depth tests, air tests, reviews, etc on YouTube. There are not that many videos bragging on Tesoros for depth. It seems that the most impressive were Minelabs...
