    Bandido II listed for sale

    I have the Eldorado Umax and the Bandido ii Umax. I like the tone and the depth of the Eldorado Umax better but I really like the target recovery and separation on the Bandido ii umax. They are both great detectors for different reasons and purposes. It would be hard for me to part with...

    Want to introduce myself

    Welcome back CaptJack. You have some great detectors there. I mainly run analog detectors and have found some good things. Your detectors are not outdated by any means. You will see many times on these forums where people talk about it is not always the detector and how advanced it is that...

    Where did all the metal detectors go.

    I have been detecting for close to 20 years now and have owned less than 10 detectors during that time. I currently own 6 detectors and found what I wanted to swing early on. I use mainly analog detectors. In the small amount of time I have to detect due to being busy with other things I have...

    (For sell) Tesoro Bandido ii Umax

    I will save your information and I will let you know if I decide to sell the Bandido ii Umax. Right now I am hanging onto it. It is hard to let these older Tesoros go because in a few years they are probably going to be real hard to find. I was only selling it so I could buy a really nice...

    Compadre fired up again

    The Compadre will definitely find that property marker. I had a friend looking for a property marker. I took other detectors out to his house but it was the Compadre that located the marker. You might want to keep the Compadre unpacked for a while this time. The person borrowing it might...

    Hour hunt with the Bandido ii Umax

    I am sorry I have not been back on Findmall from about a week. Too much going on. I checked back on that Bandido ii umax and it had sold. I hope your wife gets better soon and that the doctor’s cooperate. I will keep my eye out for another Bandido ii umax.

    Hour hunt with the Bandido ii Umax

    Rebel1100. Thank you for sharing your memories of hunting with the Bandido ii Umax. I love this machine. Between my two Compadres, Eldorado Umax and the Bandido ii Umax it is really hard to pick which detector to use. They are all so much fun and have found me some good stuff. They never...

    Hour hunt with the Bandido ii Umax

    CJM. I thought about selling my Bandido ii Umax a little while back and man I am glad I did not sell it. It is one fantastic machine. Now it would be really tough to talk myself into selling it. There is one listed on Facebook Marketplace in Madison Alabama for $200 and it looks really nice...

    Too cold to detect? Detecting winter blues.

    It was 15 degrees yesterday with a feels like 6 degrees. I wanted to bundle up and go outside to detect and then it started snowing. On top of everything else I had some errands to run and then it was dark and cold. I would have probably still gone detecting but there was just too much to do...

    Grass is Not Always Greener

    Grass is Not Always Greener

    I am sure most of us have heard this statement many times in our lives. Except today the grass was greener, a brighter green. I was excited to have more time to hunt and I have been wanting to travel to a nearby town. I have never detected in this town so I was surprised to see that in this...

    Night hunt with the Compadre 7” coil

    It was 60 degrees Fahrenheit tonight and I had a surprise from the wife. She said why dont you go out detecting for a couple of hours tonight. I have not been out on a night hunt since cold weather hit. I only had two hours to detect and that is only if the rain held for a while and the...

    Hour hunt with the Bandido ii Umax

    We have had some cold weather the last couple of weeks and I went out detecting last Saturday morning with the temperature at 29 degrees Faranheit and it was freezing cold with a cold wind blowing. I stayed out for about 4 hours. I don't know what I was thinking. I ended up getting sick from...

    How long have your Tesoro's lasted without needing service

    I have a Bandido ii Umax (release date: 1997, 27 years old, that is probably my oldest Tesoro and is likely the same age as the one Oldkoot has. I took it out today and it worked perfectly, hitting a nickel right around 5-7" and larger objects deeper than i wanted to dig with only an hour to...
