    Cheating, the grass is always greener?

    I have to come clean, I have been cheating on my Tesoros. :( Recently I purchased a Teknetics Delta 4000 and an Ace250, figuring I would give VID a try. I tried very hard to love them but just couldn't love them the way I love my Tesoros. I committed myself to try and sell myself on VID, but...

    Backlight mod for VID detectors??

    I love hunting at night and usually am a Tesoro guy so no problem, but recently bought a Teknetics Delta 4000. I love the machine but why did they overlook a simple backlighting to it. Has anyone ever modified a non backlit machine with indiglo/LED, etc. or is it even possible? I realize i can...

    Just won a Delta 4000 off Ebay :detecting:

    Im a Tesoro nut but am excited to get this machine and play around with the TID I have read lots about it and think overall the reviews were positive. My Birthday was Veterans day so I had to treat myself to a new detector. $173.50 only used 4 times seemed reasonable. I hope to join your...

    The new Garrett Edge digger, anyone tried it yet?

    Curious on how it compares to the Lesche. I ordered my first Lesche yesterday and came across this a few seconds after I placed the order. It is slightly cheaper and looks pretty durable. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lQKGKkMuPjk
