    braved the weather to try out the eurotek pro

    Hi all, Despite the weather and the forecast, I took the eurotek pro to a small town about 30 miles from where I live...I was actually born and bred in this small town. There is a showground there that has been in use for years, long before I was born (and bred). I recall playing football and...

    Oh Joy! Oh Boy!

    New Eurotek Pro (aka Austek) arrived today. I think it must have come by rowboat (and I am not being critical of anyone, I know these overseas orders take time). Haven't had time to assemble it yet, but it looks great, not only for detecting, but also for packing if I want to take it in a carry...

    Had to return "my" Outlaw

    The Outlaw that I have been using was loaned to me by Paul Knee, the Australian importer and distributor for Tesoro. Paul kindly allowed me to hang onto it for some time, and I appreciate the fact that he didn't put me under any pressure to return it to him. I have to say that the Outlaw was a...

    Took the Outlaw Out

    Went to a small park in a small village about a half hours drive from where I live. I was hunting for our (Australian) pre-decminal coins which have not been around since 1968, and were made of silver and copper. I decided to try the Outlaw with with 12 x 10 DD coil. It did well, finding a...

    Omega 8000 and silver chains

    In the (almost) 3 years I have been using the Omega, I have found more silver chains and bracelets with it than I have done with any other detector I have (or had). A couple of these chains/bracelets have had small charms or a pendant attached, but the majority have not. These chains have come...

    F5 and concentric coil

    I live in Australia, and ordered a concentric coil for my F5 11 months ago....after me phoning the dealer here several times over the last 11 months, I finally received a message from him on my message bank that there is no concentric coil for the F5. I know that his information contradicts the...

    Outlaw grabs more silver

    Took the Outlaw out again today, and took it to an area that has lots of different soil types around the place, and this particular area is loaded with junk. After snagging a 2c coin (copper) at about 3" I decided to do some charry-picking. I had the 8" concentric coil on, and thought I would...

    Another duel with the Outlaw

    Firstly, I need to correct something from my first post on the Outlaw....the audio tone is a lower frequency than on my Eldorado, a fact that I only recognised on this last weekend when I used them both, one after the other. I find either of the tones easy to listen to, and to interpret. I...

    Town Park looked a mess after someone had been detecting

    I Arrived at one of our town parks today to be met by a sight which almost made me vomit. Large plugs dug, not put back properly, dirt (including small clods of earth) scattered round the plug with little or no attempt to clean up. Some of the grass was torn out, and not replaced...it is the...

    Outlaw - short hunt

    Hi all, and greetings from Australia. On Friday last (2 days ago, here) I picked up a parcel from the local post office...it was an Outlaw, sent to me for me to try, by our importer and distributor of Tesoros, Paul Knee. I must state at this point that the Outlaw is not a gift, it is with me on...

    Any suggestions on which 18.75kHz coil

    Hi People, My 10" x 5" DD coil has given up the ghost....I am guessing some moisture in it (detecting in wet grass, or perhaps some sneaked in when I was cleaning it, at some stage). However, detector wasn't groundbalancing properly, and when I did get it to balance (through perseverence), it...

    Well, I succumbed.....

    F5 arrived yesterday....this am took it out for about an hour....very happy with the machine...nothing brilliant today, found one of each or our current coins (i.e. 5c to $2)..had everything except a $1 coin, and was thinking just that, when the audio gave a very definite and attention-grabbing...

    Anyone use a Gold Bug Pro at the beach?

    I will soon be holidaying at an area with saltwater beaches...have used the Gold Bug Pro there before and am happy with it....Does anyone have any experience with the 10" DD coil, and how it performs as compared with the 11"DD on a beach (saltwater). Weight is about the same....are there any...

    Looking for Info on the 10" DD coil for Gold Bug Pro

    I'm holidaying soon at an area with salt water beaches, and when detecting there I use the Gold Bug Pro in All Metal and use the 11" DD coil...gets good depth, and, I think, does pretty well. Does anyone have any knowledge of the 10" DD coil on the GB. and how it compares under beach...

    Interesting time ground balancing with Omega

    Went to an area, town parkland, where I have previously hunted probably a dozen times with the Omega. Went through the usual routine, and when I tried to ground balance, I couldn't get the numbers below 92. This was disturbing, because I knew this area usually ground balanced at 52 to 53...

    My New Golden Umax

    I've had my new Golden U max for just on 4 weeks now ( I first had one in 2003), and I used it to hunt round parks and sporting fields that I (and everyone else in the town I live) regularly hunt. My coin tallies generally are not what you could cal high, and nowhere near as high as my city...

    Is There A Concentric Coil for the Gold Bug Pro?

    Either one that specifically designed for the Gold Bug Pro, or one that works perfectly with the GB that was made for something else in the F series or Teknetics ranges....Anyone know? Thanks

    Haven't used the DeLeon for a while

    and so I thought that this month (June) I would use it as my "first" machine....a short hunt on the way home from work yesterday...went to "Junk Junction" which is on the edge of "Trash Town"...just had the standard coil on and was reminded very quickly how powerful this machine is...I did't...

    depth with 5" dd coil on Gold Bug

    I've had my Gold But Pro DP for just on a month, with 2 weeks of that time being used at saltwater beaches using the 11"DD coil. I was impressed with the depth achieved by the GB, particularly in all metal mode. Yesterday, I was using the Gold Bug at a site near home (no beaches, sadly) and...
