    Father/Daughter interupted hunt gets silver

    So I convince my 8 year old to go jewelry hunting with me this morning at the park next to her school. I bought a Compadre with the 7 inch coil for her so she was using that, while I used my Outlaw-- not really thinking I would be hunting but just checking her targets. ten minutes into hunting...

    Tesoro fashion statement

    So I decked out my F5 with camo wrap to cover the holes in the shaft, protect the coi and headphone wires, and keep the grip clean. I really liked the way it looked, but then started thinking that Im gonna look like Im carrying an assault weapon. Where Im hunting, that is not a good thing. So I...

    Sunday hunt yields interesting mix

    Took the Silver uMax for an eight hour hunt in the city today. Weather was cool, low 60's, and rain off and on all day. I hit a 1911 elementary school that yielded a toy musket and a circa 1886 U.M.C. New Club shotgun brass. I then hit some old areas in town and found a 1940 silver dime, 2...

    Gold jewelry hunting questions

    Not necessarily a strict Tesoro question, but I like and trust the feedback on this forum so figured Id start here... For you land jewelry hunters, do you find more jewelry on the sidelines of athletic fields, or on the fields themselves? Does your trash to treasure ratio get better in on the...

    First gold...but not for long

    Howdy. I have owned an F5 for about two weeks now. I bought it for jewelry hunting and as an alternative experience to my Tesoros. Today I took it out for only the third time and lo and behold, I find a 14K gold band! [attachment 265792 ring.JPG] However, the ring has an inscription that reads...

    Fisher F5 comparison with 3 tesoros

    greetings F5 users. I have posted a comparison of the F5 and three tesoros on a fresh coin garden over in the Tesoro forum. I havent figured out how to copy all of the pics and description over here so figured I would just let you know where it is if youre interested. The thread is titled "3...

    3 Tesoros/1 Fisher: a fresh coin garden comparison

    Here is a comparison of detectors' responses to a freshly buried coin garden. The garden is only a few months old. The soil is very mild here in SW Idaho. I have marked the depths that are greater than an inch over the other detectors limits by highlighting in dark green. Light green values are...

    Well, its settled. Im an addict.

    I have three Tesoros - Outlaw, Compadre (rationale -for the kid), Silver uMax (rationale-for the wife). I actually put my Outlaw up for sale because I was having really good success with the Silver uMax and the Outlaw didnt seem to give me much more than it in terms of coin shooting performance...

    Outlaw switch from AM to Disc

    Howdy hunters, So Ive now seen Spiritrelic, 53Silver, and GunnarNM videos showing All-metal hunting then switching to Disc to try to ID the target with the Outlaw. Did any of you three check to see how much depth you lost once you went into Disc mode? Did you lose any of your targets once you...

    this afternoon with the Outlaw

    Got a few hours in after work. Found my third silver, a 1913 D wheat penny and.... ...an 1895 Canadian Cent! Ive never even seen one of these things before. I scratched a little patina off with the screwdriver--bummer. But still, my oldest coin so far! [attachment 261027 032713_1.JPG]...

    My first solid Outlaw hunt

    I finally got a chance to apply some of the advise and the experiences Ive read over the past few weeks today. It was 40 degrees with a cold wind, but work was slow so I burned a few overtime hours I had saved up and hit a spot in an old urban area with mature trees. For you Outlaw users out...

    How does one 'Supertune' an Outlaw?

    I have seen video for the Vaq and a description for the Tejon. How exactly does it work with the outlaw? Has anyone done this with good results? What are the drawbacks--if any?

    Deepest Tesoro on silver coins

    Howdy folks , New guy here. I am enjoying all of the info presented here. My question is this-- which Tesoro will go deepest on silver coins? I have the outlaw and silver umax but was thinking I could do better on depth. Any opinions would be appreciated.
