    Tesoro Ground Balance question

    Perhaps the 10% is the error range, not sure but it works great.

    Tesoro Ground Balance question

    A update, the GB potentiometer actually doesn’t spin endlessly, it has actual stops and the drag felt is from a o-ring that couples the 2 part shaft coming out the pot which is pretty unique. Basically when the knob is turned in either direction and drag is felt the actual switch has met its 3...

    Tesoro Ground Balance question

    I recently used a Bandido II Umax and the GB knob was smooth, this newly acquired Vaquero has a ton of wiggle in the pot shaft, I watched a Vaquero in a YouTube video and it had a lot of play as well which I found odd, I figured the detector got hit or possibly fell hitting the GB knob

    Tesoro Ground Balance question

    I went ahead and ordered a 3-3/4 pot from Mouser which should be here Friday, solder it back in and hopefully it will be better. I do need some more DeoxIT to have on hand

    Tesoro Ground Balance question

    Well sadly as nice as this machine is I suspect GB pot is bad, it screams when the gb is turned even slightly but settles down in all metal mode with th at a steady hum, I think the detector possibly fell and the knob got hit because it has some wiggle or rather the pot post itself after...

    Tesoro Ground Balance question

    Picked up a nice Vaquero, looks unused or has had very little use. I did some brief test prior to purchasing it but was unable to GB where we were in a parking lot. On the way home the GB was at 12 o’clock position so turned it ccw roughly 3 turns and resistance/drag was very noticeable so I...

    Tesoro Ground Balance question

    Makes sense finding the middle point between +/- the range once drag is felt. Thanks

    Tesoro Ground Balance question

    I know the Tesoro has a 3 3/4 turn ground balance, I understand there will be drag in either direction when the limit is reached. The manual on the Vaquero states to turn 5 turns counterclockwise, then turn back clockwise 2 turns to get it close to center. Hypothetically say the GB knob is close...

    Looking to buy a Tejon??

    I was looking to buy a new Tejon,what's the purpose/benefit of the Alt. discriminate mode vs the Cibola/Vaquero with a single discrimate mode? All the detectors I own only have single disc modes

    Cibola pinpoint ??

    I've been using my Cibola for over a year,it's a great machine.I usually pinpoint by X-ing the target and dig.I was in my test garden with various coins at different depths from 2-8" and decided to really try out the pinpoint without using my usual X method. With the threshold at 2 o-clock with...
