The real reason for the name Outlaw.

[SpiritRelic]

Because Mr.Gifford worked for Bounty Hunter in the 70's and designed the Outlaw?
Because it is named after the bandido metal detector?
Because there is a real life metal detecting outlaw that loves Tesoros?
Because who really cares?

It seems to be an improvement over the Bandido 2, I think that's why. It's basically a Bandido 2 with more options.

Several years ago I wrote a letter to Vince Gifford, Charles Garrett, Ken White, and Dave Johnson. I don't know if they ever got them and I don't suggest that any of you try this. This was about the time that Garrett was making the bright yellow units, First Texas was making bizarre looking " Star Wars" units, and Whites started making huge heavy complicated units. I tried to politely tell them that the majority of us detectorists are middle aged and that the names on the units should relate to our own time eras. I don't like "prism" , spectra, omega, alpha, etc,...but I do like patriot, american, outlaw, bandit, and so on. Also the colors are important because bright yellow is like carrying a sign around say, " Hey look at me,...come on over and ask me what I'm doing". I know the companies were trying to reach out to the youth but I didn't like what I saw happening. I am not saying that my letters changed anything but it's nice to know that Tesoro is sticking to traditional names, looks, and functions. JMHO... Happy Hunting, RDF

I sat down with Vince Gifford a few months ago, in his office in Prescott. I am sure that within the next few months, Tesoro will release the new "Naughtakloo," with the 10" eliptical and 5.75" concentric.

Agree Thats why my Grandsons 's Ace 150 is painted a light beige bedliner cover style paint it not on looks great its a very good protective finish

For the same reason the Frito Bandido is no longer with us I'm guessing.

Nope!

They were going to go with the Spanish word for Outlaw which is Proscrito but the marketing team thought it sounded way too much like that expensive italian ham.
