In response to Bob's inquiry as to which tesoro model to get to compliment his Minelab Explorer, I posted: (note there are spelling and grammar corrections)

I'll try to answer your questions <img src="/metal/html/shrug.gif" border=0 width=37 height=15 alt=":shrug"> as best I can.My main target is coin hunting at beach,grass parks and at old celler holes or remains there of.I'll pick up relics"rings,pins,old watches,etc.at where ever I come accross them.As far as old horse shoes and the like,I've dug enough of that JUNK when I was younger so I'm not interested in that.Of course,I will pickup an old cannon ball if I find one.I'm good for about 5 hrs. with the ex. then I would like to switch to something lighter with close to the same performance.I realize the deleon and the tejon won't give me everything or as much but I'm not expecting it.Some of the places I've been waiting for winter,so I can get into,are a long way off the trail.I hope this answers some of the questions.Sorry I didn't include this in my first post.Bob <img src="/metal/html/blush.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=":redface"> <img src="/metal/html/frown.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=""> <img src="/metal/html/lol.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=":lol">

Depending on what environment you are detecting in, will to a great extent, dictate how well you do! of course, this will depend on which machine you happen to be using at the time! My favourite story I like to relate is this one:
One time my buddy and I were detecting on a new Roman site that we had just found. I was using the Tesoro SS2 and he was using the Whites Eagle Spectrum. I found a total of 23 Roman coins, he found only 10, and was complaining about all the iron (which I had no problem with). The second time we went to this site, he had 'permed a programme' to deal with all the iron that he suffered with the first time round. I have to admit, he kicked my butt this time! but what I'm saying here is; on a lot of sites we visit, you only get one shot at them! if this had been one of these sites, I'd have kicked HIS BUTT! <img src="/metal/html/lol.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=":lol"> I go for ease of use, simplicity and ENJOYMENT every time!

But, as usual, your post opened more questions than it answered, and hence the reason for my initial needling. Sorry for being a pisher, but your follow-up answer here was IMO a more well-rounded answer and, really truth be told, more in keeping with your usual stellar advice.
All in all, I just figured you were having an off day or something the first time around.

If there's anything a lot of us know, some guy coming behind you and "hearing" what you just missed has more to do with negligence than "inferior" equipment more times than not.
Unless maybe you're using a Minelab in northern Virginia on a fine spring or fall weekend <img src="/metal/html/wink.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt="">
Otherwise, and sorry for getting all philosophical on you here, but it all comes back to the basic age-old question of if a tree falls in the woods and nobody hears it, did the tree actually fall? And a similarly age-old detecting question would be how many times have so many of us talked ourselves into buying detectors others swore up and down *would* actually hear that tree falling, and it ended up that there was no tree in the first place?
