Acquired a Tesoro Pantera from UK last year, good operating unit love the notch and two tone feature. Prior to the Pantera, Was using the Modified Mojave for coin and jewelry hunting. The Mojave has a manual GB, and extra discrimination pot used for jewelry hunting.
Found my self using both, but constantly swapping same coils from one to the other. As light as Tesoro's are, why not use one coil for both. Made a simple coil switch box out of a FisherScope Freq box, ripped the freq guts out and put together a neat coil switch box which clips on.
What's really neat, Can be used with other Tesoro's using same type coil plug. No special connections between the two, just a simple connection of two coil plugs from the switch box with a switch selecting front or rear mount Tesoro.
I'm liking the white spider coil or 7" Mojave coil for this setup, out in open areas the white spider coil is great and tot lots or trashy areas 7" Mojave coil is perfect.
Also, Many thanks to Mike Hills and Dan-Pa. From previous Pantera post of theirs, I used this information to advance the notch trimmer pot inside to widen the notch feature. And a big Thank you to Monte, For sharing his experiences with both Pantera and Golden Sabre II.
Enclosing several pictures, note the quick pile of coins these two units scored three past few weeks. Hardly no zinc pennies, for coin shooting these two are terrific.
Thanks for looking,
Paul
