1350 Question...

[Jeff Beecham]

Can you turn the Belltone off and just use
the high, med, and low tones for hunting if
you prefer??

Just curious... Thanks, Jeff

 

[basstrackerman]

yes you can,i hunt with mine that way at times though i do prefer the sound of the bell tone.

 

[DavHut]

Yep, as bass man said, you sure can. In fact it is a good way to train your ear to the short, medium, long audio responses of small/deep, large/shallow.

Another way is to go one step further and turn the tone ID off completely.

 

[Uncle Willy]

Yep.

I still like to hunt occasionally with my White's (can I say that in this forum?) PRL1 Industrial. It only has one control - discriminate- and no ID or Depth meter. It keeps my ears trained.

- - youre among friends. I doubt any of us dont have or haven't tried other detectors....

I am a Tesoro man as my other favored brand, and own three of them.

I am a big fan of the 1266X, and would buy another one tomorrow, if I found a good deal on one.

SO it's all good. BUt when I want a detector I have faith in, like an old friend, I grab my 1350.

P.S. I owe that to Bill R, BTW. When I first got a 1250, he was the one who gave me encouragement and advice when I was whining about not being able to figure it out. The fact that I disregarded his advice and sold my first 1250 was my stupidity.

But his words always came back to me and so I was determined to put them to the test. I got a then-new 1350 and for one year I used it almost exclusively. Thanks Bill, I havent put it down yet.

 

[Uncle Willy]

Yeah it grows on you. I'm an old Tesoro guy also. Owned a ton of them, 3 Silver Sabres, Royal Sabre, 2 Golden Sabers, 2 Bandidos, Compadre. Owned one of the first Silver Sabres that was sold by Kellyco under Private Label. When I got it and looked at it ( although it was a different color - blue ) I said this is a danged Tesoro in sheep's clothing so I called Jack Gifford and sure enough it was.

The old days of thge BFO is what trained one's ears.

I thought the only way to get the low and medium tone is with belltone on. If you turn belltone off all signals have the same audio pitch. f you can hunt with a low medium and high tone without the belltone on a 1350, Please tell me how. Also can that be done on a 1250?
Thanks in advance

Actually, current generation 1350's have TONE ID, which includes belltone for high conductivity targets. If you kill this feature, all you have then is tone length and visual ID.

The older 1250's had a discrete belltone disable function.
