    Am I losing my hearing or not?? AT Pro headphones

    I use the stock headphones on my AT Pro as I have not invested in any other accessories for it just yet. I run them with the switch on "stereo" and have the knobs on both sides maxed out for me to hear the best in pro mode. Does this sound right or am I losing my hearing and need to have them at...

    Park hunt produces class ring and US button same park!

    This was my second time at this particular park but I tried a different area than before. Pulled the US collar button near a creek, rang up like a quarter. Not sure if it's similar composition but it's practically the same dimensions so I'm sure that's how it came up. From my brief research it...

    Tesoro Disc thumbing questions. To thumb or not?

    Unfortunately I don't have a Tesoro in my hands let alone several different models to test this so I thought I would ask here. For those of you that consider yourself "thumbers" as I coin the term, of the current and recently discontinued lineup of Tesoros, which is the easiest or most natural...

    AT Pro falsing and chatty in the water? Please help

    Hi, I have had the AT Pro almost two months now and just took it for it's maiden voyage to the local lake today for about 5 hours. I have good news and bad. The good is it seems it held up to the wet environment like advertised; no signs of leaks. The bad, well besides not slicing through the...

    Help on choosing stainless steel for scoop please

    I'm about to order a scoop for water hunting in lakes with the rare trip to the coast for beach/water hunting. My lakes will mostly consist of clay beds covered with thin layers of silt, sand or mud with some small rocks often present. I have the chance to get holes that are 1/2" or 3/8" as well...

    Standard mode vs Pro mode, pin pointing and headphones

    Hello all, not a new member but a new AT Pro owner, well kinda sorta. I had gotten one of these about a year ago and sold it before I really got the chance to use it because I was more than a bit put off by the ergonomics about attaching the coil, headphones(Tight space to thread them on) and...

    Tesoro Tiger Shark with extra coil FS:clap:

    Well, water season will soon be upon us again before we know it, especially if the ground hog has anything to say about it. I've gotten down to this one last detector that I used last spring and summer while lake hunting and wading but I would like to get back to mainly land hunting so I need to...

    Such a thing as a silent search PI?

    Ok, I'm looking at perhaps getting a PI machine, was thinking about a sand shark, and doing some research on them. From what I have seen on videos, they have this loud threshold tone and targets sound off with a sort of buzzing sound. Best way to describe it, sounds like the all metal search...

    Sea Hunter Mark II questions please:smile:

    I'm looking into PI units some and came across the Garrett Sea Hunter mark II as a consideration. I noticed that it has regular as well as discreet elimination to help with trash targets. The discreet seems to be just the thing if I read the description correctly....able to knock out certain...

    First Lake Hunt: Impressions and Questions

    Ok, I had finally gotten my tiger shark back from tesoro b/c I made a bad trade with someone else and turned out it needed to be recalibrated and the coil leaked but such is life and the risk of used detectors but Tesoro took care of me free of charge so kudos to them! I finally got out to a...

    Tesoro is one stand up outfit!:tesoro: :clapping:

    I wanted to say a big thank you to Rusty, Robert and everyone with Tesoro Electronics for going above and beyond for the service on my Tiger Shark. I just got it back in tip top shape from them today with some little extras that show that they care about their customers and their products. Rusty...

    Couple of hunts on the Deleon now, some reflection

    I've had the Deleon out twice now for a couple of short hunts; 2 hours the first time and one hour just this evening. It may be growing on me but I'm on the fence with it over what I have used in the past but those were a bit higher end machines too though. I'm not too impressed with depth on it...

    Deleon arrived today! My initial impressions:detecting:

    I received my Deleon today from Richard at Backwoods; thank you very much again Richard! I put it together, slapped some batteries in it, grabbed some targets and headed out to the backyard with it. Like most Tesoros, you notice how light weight the unit is right away and it just feels good in...

    Deleon or Vaquero?

    Let's say price is equal, which one would you choose and why? Pros and cons? Will be used in unmineralized conditions hunting trashy parks. Thanks!

    Looking for a deal on the Predator model 75 digger please. Any dealers out there that carry them? I know I can get them off of the Predator website but I'm looking for a better deal, thanks.

    Question regarding Cibola and Vaquero differences

    Are these two detectors the same except for the Vaquero having a gb and the Cibola not? Just curious because I come across users who have modded their Cibola with a GB modification. Doesn't this essentially turn the Cibola into a Vaquero? Why do this instead of just purchasing the Vaquero in the...

    Omega coil selection

    I'm just starting with the Omega soon; about to try to get out this weekend for my first hunt if everything pans out ok. I have the 10" concentric, the 11" dd and the 5" dd coils for it. I don't have what I consider to be very mineralized ground; most preset gb detectors have no issues with my...

    What's a good water shoe?

    Hello again water hunters! I'm still gearing up for lake and river hunting and wanted opinions on some good water shoes. They will be for wearing over bare feet for lake and river wading. Not interested in a wader set as it's too warm(90's-100's) just want to protect the feet from rocks, glass...

    Tiger Shark problems :stretcher:

    I got my new/used Tiger Shark in today, got it cleaned, lubed, powered up, ground balanced and out to the test garden to check it out with both coils. With the 10.5" coil I could hit my 4" dime but my 6" dime was very faint, could barely hear it and my 9" dime not a hint in either all metal or...
