    Compadre

    Well I guess I will find out how well the Compadre works as my AT Pro just died and I sold my other two detectors for funds toward another detector. Luckily I just traded with Richard at Backwoods for the 5.75" Compadre, which I will receive tomorrow. I got it to detect some tot lots during the...

    ATP went nuts

    My AT Pro out of the blue /all of a sudden has become completely unstable. I was hunting in the woods and I noticed that it was a bit unstable so I did a frequency shift but that didn't help. Within 20 minutes it was much worse so I reset it to factory settings, but that didn't help....changed...

    new to the AT Pro......so far so good!

    I normally swing one of my old Fisher units(1266,CZ5,C$) but decided to buy the AT Pro because I could not afford the CZ21 for water hunting. I am glad I did, I only have about 12 hours on it so far but I can tell that it will be one of my favorites! The tones in pro mode are pleasant to my...

    Quantum XT

    Does anyone use this detector? I have always used the "old" Fisher detectors(coinstrike,1270) and now started using the Minelab X-terra 505 but I have always wanted to try a Whites unit. Is this a good detector? I know about the great detectors that never caught on ( I love the coinstrike), is...

    New to the XT

    I have taken the leap to try the minelab "entry level" detectors. I have used the Fisher brand of detectors for years now and wanted to upgrade to a more modern detector. I tried the Fisher "F"series detectors, but was not very impressed; too noisy,annoying tones and jumpy vdi's for me. I...

    A new way for me to find older sites to hunt! LONG

    I have done all the conventional research, Sandborn maps, local research in the local libraries etc. It has, indeed, led to productive sites but I wanted much more! I have learned, by a stroke of luck, a very productive way to find old home and ghost town sites. I was talking to a co- worker...

    Where is the silver?

    Have you ever had one of those places where you actually feel the detecting will be great? I have one in what was an old park then a camp dating back to around 1802 (only one mention in an obscure publication). I mean this place is primo, could not have ever been hunted because of the finds I...

    troy x2

    I know this detector was made by Tesoro but what Tesoro base unit was it made? Has anyone ever used one or the Tesoro equivalent? Thanks, Bill

    Have I seen the light?

    I must start off by saying that I have ,through the years, used Fisher detectors almost exclusively. I currently use a f-70 and a 1270 as a backup, but I had my eyes opened a bit this past week. I have in my test garden a silver dime buried at a little over 8" in my back yard, this seems to be...

    Golden's depth

    I can run the Golden in Disc. at full max boost most of the time in my area and in the bad areas can run it at 8. What kind of depth can I expect to obtain from this unit? This detector seems to be very good on small targets, like a 22 bullet at around three inches but I primarily hunt for old...

    C$ strikes again...but something else made a strike

    Still hot here but decided to ask permission of an old grouchy man to hunt his property that dates back to 1814 and was originally build by a soldier when Andrew Jackson came through battling the Indians. I pull up to his drive and there were several cow skulls on sticks and several signs that...

    Not sure what to think???

    I just purchased my Golden umax from Richard at Backwoods detectors and finally had an opportunity to use it, if you can call 45 minutes using it. Here in central Alabama the the heat index today was 107 and the sweat was actually pouring off and onto my new detector so I decided to call the...

    New to Tesoro

    Hey everyone, I decided to become a real detectorist and listen to what is there instead of relying on a TID! I just purchased a Golden umax from Richard at Backwoods detectors, a sponsor on this site, and picked it up on my vacation. I must give Richard a five star rating, he was certainly a...

    First Texas......Long

    I know I may be opening myself to ridicule here, but I really want to know the views of everyone here. I have tried several diffrent detectors, spent thousands of dollars and found that Fisher, in my opinion, makes the best detectors period! DFX....thousand, minelab se......thousand and yet my...

    Troy Shadow series

    Just a quick question to satisfy my curiosity. I noticed that Tesoro will repair the shadow series of detectors. Were they made by Tesoro? The reason I asked is that I was about to purchase a used x5 for a $650.00 and thought that if Tesoro made this there must be an equal in there current line...

    finally

    Good day all; I have been lurking around this site for some time now and have been jealous of all the great finds. I have been detecting for around eight months and found only clad and some odds and ends junk. All I wanted to find was sliver in any form, a 1964 Rosie would be great at this...
