    Vaquero battery life

    I've had some Tesoros that could double and triple the battery life claimed by Tesoro. My Cortes could go 60 hours on a set of batteries! I read about the Outlaw getting amazing hours out of the battery. I'm finding my Vaquero is not one of these battery life wonders. I'm getting 10-15 hours out...

    All this Compadre hype is...

    ...true. My 9 year old daughter just found a 14k ring! At 8 grams, she just paid for the Compadre a couple times over! Dan

    Tesoro 12 x 10 widescan coil for sale

    This coil was included when I bought my Vaquero. It was never used, but I used it once just to try it. I prefer concentric coils. This coil comes with the scuff plate and I will include the lower pole. It will fit the Lobo, Tejon, Vaquero and Cibola. It has the short cable. Asking $120 and will...

    White's Coinmaster series

    I received my White's catalogue in the mail today, and I noticed these 3 detectors. I also noticed that they have water resistant housings. So I couldn't help but wonder why these machines seem invisible on the forums. Everybody goes on and on about the ATPro, but hardly a peep about the...

    Back in the game!

    After a couple of years away from detecting, I'm back with a new Vaquero! No way I was going to get back into detecting with anything other than a Tesoro. I'm going to be trying wireless headphones so that will be new for me. Good to be back! Dan

    For sale: Mint condition Tesoro Cortes

    I'm reluctantly offering this machine for sale. I bought it late last year from a dealer in Michigan. He used it a couple times for demo purposes. I figured it would be a good backup machine for 2011, but with my work schedule for this year, there's going to be little time for my Tejon, let...

    Tiger Shark headphones

    I just got my Tiger Shark back from Rusty, and it's much better now. The depth is good and it GB's nicely. However, I only have sound out of one side of the headphones. I don't really want to send it back since it was mighty nice of them to tune it for free since I bought it used. I can't...

    WTB: a Tesoro uMax model that doesn't work

    I've got the resources (software and CNC machines) to design and manufacture a watertight enclosure for a Tesoro uMax model. Ultimately I would like to make a waterproof Golden with external GB that can be submersed to wading depths. What I'm hoping to get is someone's old Tesoro that is ready...

    Air testing the Tiger Shark

    I'm curious as to what kind of depths people are getting with air tests with their Tiger Sharks. Any comments would be appreciated. Thanks, Dan

    What exactly is the Tiger Shark connector issue about?

    I'm just about to purchase a used Tiger Shark locally, but I keep reading about a connector issue. What exactly is the issue? Does it leak? Does it false? Will I need to send the TS in for repairs? I don't want to pull the trigger on this if the machine is going to sit on the shelf indefinitely...

    reflecting on detecting

    As the season winds down I've been thinking back over the years and I've noticed a definite pattern. Back when I started detecting back in 1990 I had a Garrett Freedom 2 which was a dual discriminator "beep and dig". I had so many great finds with that machine including a gold ring and a WW1...

    WTB: Tesoro Tejon

    I recently gained permission to hunt a historic home in the heart of the war of 1812 region. The house was built right after the war, in 1816 and has 9 acres of property. I've already found a musket ball on my first outing with my F5. But the catch is, the permission has a condition. I have to...

    F/S: Omega 8000 with DD coil

    This one is sitting around gathering dust so I may as well offer it for sale. It's got very little use on it. It comes with the stock and DD coil, and a handy carrying case. I'd rate it at a 9/10. I'd give it higher rating except for the fact that one of the tangs broke off the DD coil, but I...

    Replacing the plastic face on the F70

    Does anyone know if the flimsy front plastic face of the F70 is replaceable? My F70 would look great if it wasn't for the beaten up look of the plastic face. Is this an item that Fisher labs sells as a replacement part? Thanks, Dan

    FS: Mint condition Teknetics T2

    Included with the T2 is the coil cover, manual and original box. The software is version 6.6. I only used it a few times, but I prefer my F70. Since there seems to be a demand for these right now, I figure I'd throw it out there for sale and see what happens. I'm looking for the best offer over...

    11"DD coil

    Is the 11" DD coil for the T2 the same one as for the F75? If so, the T2 coil should work on the F70, correct? The connectors look the same. Thanks, Dan

    A question about the Omega

    Is the Omega a very close twin to the F5, or closer to the F70? To me it appears similar to the F5. If an F5 owner bought an Omega, would they notice much difference? Thanks, Dan

    New convert to the FT products has a question

    After a long time using Tesoro products, I happened upon an F5 in a trade for a Vaquero I wasn't using. I thought, what the heck, I'll try it out. To make a long story short, I don't own any Tesoro products anymore but I have the F5 and a T2. It's like I just time traveled into the 21st century...

    How can you tell what version of software you have?

    Just curious. I read a bit lower down on this forum that 6.7 is the latest. I have no idea how to tell what level I have. Thanks, Dan

    Pinpointing with the T2

    I just received my new T2 this evening. This is the first machine I've ever owned with a DD coil. Can someone give me some pointers on pinpointing with a DD coil? Where is the target? Thanks, Dan
