Tesoro Golden question.

[JimGilmore]

After re-reading the manual JL have a question.
Does pushing the switch that says battery test tothe left also do a retune ?
And what does it re-tune ?

 

[SpiritRelic]

A retune on a detector refers to a true no motion all metal mode.If you look at Tesoro's site,they advertise the golden as having a no motion all metal mode.This is a miss print.The golden may have a slow retune all metal, but i don't think so.My newer golden seems to have a fast retune all metal mode.I did not mean to confuse you jim.It takes some reading and understanding to know the difference between- true no motion all metal mode,slow retune motion all metal mode and fast retune motion all metal mode.But to just answer your question,the battery check is just a battery check.The golden has no manually operated retune button,as the outlaw.The outlaw has a manual retune button because the outlaw has a true no motion all metal mode.It is good you are re reading your manual.The golden can be tricky to get used to due to the narrow,wide notch disc control. :-D

As I said I was reading the manual..So I am trying to figure out if the manual has an error ?
Also the add for the golden has 1 error in the add. where it says.
"The order of the has also changed...with lower tones to identify potential trash, and higher tones reflecting valuable targets like silver and nickels. See the chart below"
it should read "The order of them has also changed...with lower tones to identify potential trash, and higher tones reflecting valuable targets like silver and nickels. See the chart below"

I just do not know wom to tell...

Go to the Tesoro site,pull up the golden.Read the new tones verses old tone.Tell me what you think?.I am still learning mine myself.The notch system is very tricky.There are some things to talk about on this golden.You will also note while air testing this detector that the nickel will hit better with a more clear signal while in the wide notch mode.Try this and tell me what you think.But i tell you what,i think you really got me confused over this tone thing now.

 

[JimGilmore]

Looking at the site the new and the old tones models have swapped what a good nickel will sound like and what a pulltab/zinc will sound like.
so which version you have will determin what one you hear.

That's right.I think it is $25 or $50 if you want the tone changed from old version to new.But i think there is a hold on that to,not sure really.There is so much you can do with this detector.The tone id is great.It explains on the site how to set the golden up using a nickel .I have not really caught on to that one yet.This is my first tone detector, and it has been great for park hunting.I love using the notch discrimination.Sometimes i just want to coin hunt and run the wide notch.All i can say is keep experimenting.That's what i'm doing.Let me know what you find out.

 

[JimGilmore]

I've never used that to set it up but I do just hunt and find stuff.
I am not sure if mine works 100% correctly discrimination wise but I find plenty.

I'd like to refer back to the original golden answer.
