    Tesoro Deleon - Lift Coil ID Question

    I picked up a used Deleon and I'm not sure if it is out of tune. Conducting Air tests with Disc from Min - iron (doesn't matter), Sens 1 - 10 (doesn't matter) I get good solid tones and ID until I get within 2" of the coil (stock, 5.75. 4 doesn't matter). - Zinc penny, nickel, Gold ring - From...

    Wireless WM-10 Module Lights when Paired ?

    I bought a 2015 CTX and when paired with the WM-10 wireless module and working (sound) both status lights blink green at the same time. My 2013 CTX when paired with the WM-10 and working the green status lights alternate just like the Minelab instructional video. CTX Manual, page 53: "When...

    Trade: Tesoro Compadre for Tesoro Clean Sweep Coil

    I'd like to trade my Compadre with 5.75" coil and coil cover for a newer/lighter Tesoro 5 pin clean sweep coil that is foam filled. I just bought a Deleon and would like to add the clean sweep. I'll email pictures on request.

    Golden Sabre II compared to current model questions

    Picked up a Golden Sabre II at an estate sale and everything seems to be in good working order, even the notch feature. Notch feature is a neat idea for the old style pull tabs (still get nickels) but if you notch out the new tabs the nickels and small gold rings go with it so I probably won't...

    Can't Get my 4x6 Shooter Coil Cover Off - Tips?

    I've tried a wooden dowel & hammer and butter knives on the side to keep the cover lip off the coil and I just can't get the cover off. Mary at Whites said we make them to stay on and she's right! I've hunted some loose dirt lately and I need to clean out the debris. If you have this coil and...

    Northern Oregon or Southern Washington Users - Need Some Feedback!

    Like to talk with some Deus owners in the area over the phone and maybe get together for a 1/2 day. Willing to drive a few hours before spending the money on a machine. I currently use a CTX so if you're curious about how they work in our area we can talk that too. Looking at the Deus because...

    Which Machine to Compliment the CTX

    I've owned my CTX for a little over a year and have used it as well as a few others... AT Pro, AT Gold, MXT Pro, XLT, M6, Outlaw, Vaquero, and CZ3D just to name a few. Since 90% of the time I grab my CTX, and will continue to do so, I've sold the others except for a Compadre for the grandkids to...

    Vaquero Pinpoint - All Metal, Motion or Non-motion

    Picked up a mint condition Vaquero and I have a question about the pinpoint and all metal mode, one in the same correct and is it motion or non-motion? The manual states; Pinpointing a Target - When pinpointing a target, the ALL METAL Mode can offer advantages over the DISCRIMINATE Mode, such...

    Any AT Gold Tips for a Former AT Pro User

    I've owned/used 2 different AT Pro's in my area (both had the optional small coil) and I even sent one back to Garrett for testing, everything was fine. I sold them both because they were unstable in my soil. I GB 94-96 and I could not run them in pro mode because it was always to chatty even...

    Charger with DC Fault

    Curious if any one has experienced this problem. While out camping and trying to charge with the DC cord attached I had normal power indication, solid green light, but when I loaded the battery into the charger the same light started flashing red indicating a fault. I tried 2 receptacles in my...

    Adding a Cable Extension - How Would I Waterproof?

    If I wanted to add a 5' cable extension to my coil, mostly my 10x12, so I can remote my control box to the inside pocket on my chest waders what are my options? I have self-fusing "Rescue Tape" but that would require cutting and re-taping if I want to swap coils and I want to avoid nicking the...

    WTB: Vibra-Tector 730

    Figured someone might have one of these lying around that doesn't get any use. Not sure that I'll use it much either but I thought I'd throw it in my pack when hiking and use it if I found what looked to be a swimming spot.

    When Pro is Unstable I can run Higher Sensitivity in Std, is that Good or Bad

    My GB is always in the mid to high 90's. When operating in Pro many times, not always, I have to run sensitivity 3 or 4 bars below max to minimize falsing. In the same location I can run sensitivity at max or maybe 1 bar lower in Std. I understand the analogy of bright lights in fog but am...

    Outlaw & Cleansweep Hunt

    I decided to get off the fence and picked up an excellent condition used CS from a member. Fresh hand-off from our mailman, coil still in the box, I drove to a school I hadn't been to before and there was a guy there with his CTX in the Tot Lot. I installed the coil, visited with the guy for a...

    Manual vs Auto Sensitivity in Mineralized Soil

    I live in WA, along the Columbia River Gorge, and hunt in some tough soil conditions. I don't know anything about the soil composition other than some basalt and volcanic ash. If you've read my posts in the CTX, AT Pro, and Xterra forums you'll see I've used those machines with most coil combos...

    Wasn't Expecting This Coin - British Pound

    Tired of waiting for things to thaw enough to dirt hunt some old homesteads with my newly acquired Outlaw I drove 3 miles to our rural school chip lot (K-12 less than 100 students) and I found some clad and a 1985 One Pound coin; for folks who haven't held one they are thick & heavy and have an...

    Tesoro with Cleansweep - Any Videos Using One?

    Thinking about getting a Cleansweep Coil for my Outlaw and was looking for a video someone may have done... can't seem to find any. Plan to use it on large sports fields and in freshwater lakes. A lot of rock in the lakes I've hunted so most things are pretty shallow, I've scooped a couple...

    Tesoro Outlaw - Mineralized Soil - Coil Choice

    Just picked up an Outlaw as a light weight, easily packable, back up machine and I'm curious if this machine reacts similar to others where a DD coil is a big improvement over concentric when operating in mineralized soil. I live in WA, along the Columbia River, and according to my experience...
