Outlaw and 11x8?
- Thread starter KennyD

I wish I could answer this for you. My Outlaw came with the 11x8, but I've never even tried it out. Should be a good combo for depth and coverage, but probably won't seperate trash or discriminate as cleanly as the concentrics do.
The features I love most about the Outlaw, superior discrimination and small iron handling, work best with 8" and 5.75" concentrics.

I dont own a Outlaw but i do own a Vaquero with the 11x8 coil on and if i am honest after owning for nearly a year the jury is still out with the coil,i did take it off and i mainly use a 5.75 Concentric coil and that is a cracking coil/detector combination,but at the moment the 11x8 is just gathering dust still awaiting a guilty or innocent verdict,its fine on open clean spaces but it just lacks that something that i cannot put my finger on it.

I've used the 8x11 dd coil on both a cibola and vaquero, and learned an amazing method for identifying bottle caps..... And it works!
First, pinpoint the target. Then move the coil off to the side of target. Press the pinpoint button and slowly move coil toward target. If it's a bottlecap, it will start sounding off on the outer edge of the coil.
A coin however, will not sound off until the center of coil goes over it.
Works 99.5% of the time!!!

Well... with the Outlaw and the 8" coil on it, you'll be happy to find that bottlecaps won't even be an issue. You'll see 'em on the ground, but the Outlaw is excellent at ignoring 'em. ^_^
While my Outlaw came with the 11x8, the main reason I bought mine is that it also came with the 8" and the (now) hard to find 10.5" concentric. I already had a spare 5.75" for it.
Let us know how you like the 11x8; maybe I'll be convinced to give mine a go. ^_^

I use that trick with my Tejon on the edge of the coil to tell if it's iron. My main coil is the 8" concentric.

Depth is good, but not quite as deep as Tesoro's "H.O.T." series, Cibola, Vaquero, Tejon. Plenty of depth for places I go; old parks, camp and picnic areas. I have and use several Tesoro detectors including the Outlaw and some older Tesoros - the Outlaw never stays home. I like the audio tone, I like the detune feature for pinpointing, and best of all, the way it ignores small iron. Discrimination seems to be more consistently accurate on my Outlaw, than most of my other Tesoros.
As to it being worth $550 (with 3 coils); yes, I think it is. ^_^
However - If you want a target ID machine... Look at a Racer 2. I may make one of those my first non-Tesoro.
