    Thoughts on Garrett Coin Hunter TR discriminator

    So I'm interested in one and don't have much knowledge on it. The thing is darn near mint in a case. I know it's a BFO unit but didn't think they had any kind of discrimination. Can anyone enlighten me to any virtues this machine has, if any? Is it worth $100? Thanks!

    What happened to the Tesoro forum?

    I apologize if this was asked before but I've been away for a while (quite a while unfortunately). I know there used to be one but now it seems to be missing. How come?

    Vaquero Coil Decision

    My experience is primarily the beach with my Sand Shark but now an opportunity has come up that I'm very excited about. A friend from work is the caretaker of a house and property that has been occupied since 1740 and he has given me permission to have fun! I can't wait to get out there but I...

    Excalibur Question

    I wanted to ask all the Excalibur users a question. I've never owned a Minelab but lately I've been looking at getting one. I've heard mention something about a knob issue? About them falling off? I'd love to own one but l have an issue in spending $1500 on a detector that has a problem like...

    Golden with 5.75" coil or the "V"?

    I need help making a decision. I have a Vaq with the standard coil. Been thinking of getting myself a Golden for park hunting but was wondering how it would do with a 5.75" coil on it. Or, should I stick with my "V" and put the 5.75" coil on that? I believe the Golden and V use the same factory...

There were a couple MDer's out there digging holes everywhere back by the dunes and were not filling their holes...

    Avalon NJ Finds with the Sand Shark/Vaquero

    Just got back from the beach in Avalon, NJ. Didn't do to bad for just a few hours in the morning each day. I was there for 4 days. I used my Vaquero for the dry sand and the Sand Shark for wet sand/surf. I found the fishing reel in about 6 inches down in the surf. Had a great time and the...

    Sand Shark Question

    I wanted to know when the connector/coil issue was resolved on the Sand Shark. I have a chance to purchase one that's about 5 years old. If that's before the fix, would I have to sent it in to Tesoro to get fixed or just get another coil for it? Thanks!

    They should have bought a Tesoro

    I've been reading a lot of posts in the other brand forums and it struck me how many who bought detectors with the fancy readouts are complaining either that the id number doesn't match what they dig or the depth indicator is way off or they just didn't get any id at all. Then lower down the...

    Other coils for the Vaquero??

    Has anyone tried different coils with the Vaq.? I'm thinking the 5.75 concentric or 12X10 DD similar to the setup of the Outlaw. Just wondering what kind of results people are having if using these.

    Made a nice score!

    Made a nice score on Friday, at least I think so, picked up a Whites 6000/DI Pro SL with a 950 coil and a 4900/d for $150! The 4900 works great and has both batteries but the 6000 is missing one of the battery terminals inside the unit. I opened it up and the terminal snapped off. The base is...

    clueless in NJ

    OK, please be patient with me. I'm new to all this and have been going round and round with trying to decide on the best machine for me. I had it narrowed down to either the Fisher F5 or the Tesoro Vaquero. I started leaning toward the Fisher because of the features and the readout/tone Id's...

I guess I should clarify that. I had a Fisher 1270X quite a while ago, like 8 years ago and used it a few times and really...
