    Tesoro no longer in business

    Ive been a bit out if touch with detecting these last years. Could someone tell me what happened to Tesoro? Ive had most of their machines, made alot of great finds with them. Does anyone do repairs on them now in case I was to pick one up again? Thank you, Neil

    Equinox questions

    I think Im gonna order an Equinox and would like to know what I have to order along with it for wading. The control pod is waterproof from what Ive read but Im confused on the headphone setup. It looks like stock they are wireless, which Ive never used, but I dont think that will work thru water...

    Which detector still being manufactured, that is a discriminator, will equal or exceed a Shadow X5?

    Specifically interested in one that will hit small gold in the ground...not air test... My X5 hits earrings like no other Ive seen but Ive not tried anything new in the last 5 plus years. Thanks in advance for your response.

    Coil cable tear

    Mojave/Compadre

    Has anyone tested these two on the same small gold yet? Wondering if they are about the same or can the Mojave hit the smaller gold a little farther away from the coil? I would guess either the smaller 5.75 or 8" coils on the compadre would be a fair comparison.

    Does anyone hunt with an X5 as their main detector?

    If so which coil do you use the most and do you manually GB or use the fixed setting?

    Which micromax Tesoros have the all metal toggle and threshold knob?

    I am referring to the single 9 volt Tesoros with the small control housing. I know the Golden has it and Bandido. The Silver has the toggle but no threshold knob.

    Ground balance/coil tuned to detector

    Ive read several times about people sending in their detector with a coil to have the coil tuned to the detector. Ive also read that a machine with a ground balance will tune the available coils to the detector. Can anyone elaborate on either of these two statements? Ive never sent one in to...

    Couple of Tesoro questions

    Does anyone know about what year Tesoro switched over from the metal face plate with the holes to the plastic louvered face plate. Also from the anodized gold colored rod to the painted rods? Which coil would you guys/gals recommend for getting in around playground stuff at tot lots? Im...

    I finally got the one tesoro Ive never owned

    I bought a golden umax...its got the anodized rod and the white spoked coil. I had a couple of golden sabre 11s years ago and most of the other tesoros but never got my hands on one of these. Looking forward to getting it, gonna look on you tube to hopefully find some videos on adjusting it (if...

    Nokta AU Gold

    I was just looking at this online at the kellyco website. It can be hipmounted so it looks like it would be good for beach jewelry hunting and wading. Can anyone comment on this model? I also looked on youtube, very little info there. Thank you, Neil

    15" coils for the X-Terra

    I see there are two manufacturers, minelab and coiltek. About $100 difference in price. Which ones are most of you using and which kHz? Does anyone have one of the 10.5" coils and if so can you weigh it. Wondering what the weight difference is between it and both the stock coils(9") and the...

    705/505

    Does anyone use both of these? I was wondering if the depth is about the same in disc or all metal mode using the same coil? Has anyone tried using the 505 on wet salt sand, does it do ok or is it a constant chatter?

    Does anyone have anything they can share about the nel sharpshooter on an Etrac?

    Depth, separation, weight.....any comments are appreciated. Compare it to the stock pro coil. Thank you, Neil
