    New coil on the way

    NEL Sharpshooter for the uMax machines might be here today. I can't wait to see how it performs on my Outlaw!

    After a looong dry spell...

    I've had a long dry spell. Nothing found of any value or even much interest. Yesterday the Outlaw broke that streak by sniffing out gold! I found this 10K band near a local swimming hole. It was only 1-2" deep in loose sandy rocky soil. I think it may have been lost reciently, maybe over the 4th...

    First hunt of 2014 - silver pendant

    Yesterday was my first hunt of 2014. I took the Outlaw to a ballfield. It wont be long until the baseball season starts so I figure I'd better hunt it while I can. I was rewarded with this nice .925 cross pendant. It was only a couple of inches deep.

    Got my Sidewinder

    My Sidewinder came yesterday. From what I understand, the Sidewinder is the first of the uMax size detectors from Tesoro. This is the oldest Tesoro I have used. It's definitely different from my other uMax machines. The shaft has no locks and is very wobbly. The headphone jack is the small 1/8...

    I think I have a Tesoro addiction!

    I won an auction earlier today for a Sidewinder. I really didn't need it but couldn't resist. I may need therapy. :)

    Eldorado sniffs out the .925

    Found this with my Eldorado & Super 7 coil combo yesterday while hunting a tailgating spot near a local university. Looks like the top of a ring but the finger loop is broken off.

    Outlaw finds silver pendant (x3)

    Took the Outlaw to a baseball field on Thursday for one last hunt before I sent it in for repairs. Even though it had an occasional glitch, the Outlaw still brought home the goodies! All three pendants are silver. The ankh (I think that's what they are called) is tiny. It's so small my...

    I think my Outlaw is sick :(

    A few days ago while hunting with my Outlaw it acted odd a few times. When switching from all metal to discriminate it would stay in all metal and I'd have to flip the switch again to get it in discrimination mode. The battery had a lot of hours on it so I thought it was the problem. This...

    How many hours per 9V?

    Just wondering what the typical life of a 9V is in a detector. I was hunting yesterday and the Outlaw was acting strange. I replaced the battery this morning but it's raining so no hunting today. According to my notes the old battery had 21 hunts on it. I usually get to hunt from one to three...

    A couple of odd Tuesday finds

    Here are a couple of odd finds me and my son found yesterday. I found the Chinese coin with my Outlaw. I'm pretty sure it's fake. My son found the mini Bicentennial quarter. I'm not sure if he found it with his Compadre or his dinging yeller thang ( I tease him about his Garrett Ace 150). The...

    I think there's a problem - 10x12 widescan

    Last week while on vacation at the beach I finally found time for some detecting. I haven't used the 10x12 widescan coil that came with my Outlaw much prior to now. I noticed I was getting a lot of false signals. Every bump, every shake, etc would give me a beep. Switched to the 8" coil and the...

    Thoughts after 1st hunt with my new Outlaw

    Hunted for about three hours today with my new Outlaw. Also did some air testing first. The only coil I used today was the 8" donut. I'll admit, after ordering the Outlaw, I worried weather or not it'd be money well spent. I really like my Eldorado but wanted more depth. I was concerned I...

    I'm doing MY part to support Tesoro!

    Just ordered a new Outlaw. This will be my first brand-spankin-new detector. I blame this purchase on y'all !!!!

    Voltage vs. performance

    I know when the 9V battery in my Eldorado gets low, performance suffers. I've seen it happen when the battery gets real low. I decided when the battery check tones gets to 3 beeps I will replace the battery. While hunting over the weekend it got down to 4 beeps but now that it has sat unused for...

    Interesting Sunday find.

    I went out hunting yesterday with my Eldorado & Super 7 coil. I was in a primitive camping area. I had been hunting for about 30-45 min. with mostly trash to show for my efforts. I had the discrimation set low and was digging almost all good signials. Due to tree roots most stuff is shallow in...

    Any tips for removing a 7" coil cover???

    I was gonna pull the cover off my 7" widescan this morning for cleaning. Couldn't get it to budge. Any tips for removal? Thanks!

    1236X2 question

    I've read a lot about the 1236X2. My question is, how easy is it to distinguish the "clicks and pops" from a good signal? In a trashy area does it require a lot of sweeps over the same ground to hear good targets? Thanks!

    My 2012 total

    I bought my first metal detector October the 4 of 2012, a Tesoro Cortes. On November 18 I added an Eldorado

    7" coil vs. 5.75"

    I am going to add another coil to my line-up soon. I have the 9X8 and a Shadow Super 7 so far. I mostly hunt trashy campgrounds and some sports fields. I'm leaning toward the 5.75 concentric for those trashy campsites. Is the 5.75" noticably better in trash than the 7"? If there's not much...
