Have just acquired a Laser B3 this is the UK version of the Tesoro Bandido,basically they are the same machines but lightly modded inside for our detecting requirements.
These machine albeit being seen as older fashion style wise have become a 'cult' status detector for the more mature detectorist as they are deadly machine on roman and saxon sites,albeit not the deepest machine on the block but it does not miss much within the top 8'' and of course that superb Tesoro discrimination.
The machine that i have just located does not come onto the market very often as folks tend to keep them but to be able to acquire a machine that is about as near perfect as just coming off the production line is un-heard of,so had to buy it.
It comes with the 8'' Brown polo coil which although is a good coil i dont think its the best option for what i require it for on Junky roman sites,so i have done my homework and found that the SEF8x6 5pin coil will fit,this i think will produce a deadly combination on sites that have alot of rubbish as it should give me great target separation.
Not been a keen fan of the Tesoro brown coil as it can false on wet grass,not sure if any of you folk across the pond still use a Bandido or even UK Laser B3 users.

Depending on the site normally I use the thin profile 8" white doughnut coil with good results and for trashier sites I will use the 5.75" concentric. The ground here in southeast Texas really has no minerals to speak of so I can get decent depth with this older unit and I love the stability. Hope that coil works out for you and HH!
