I was going to hold off and let everyone know what detector I am getting until I received it and got to use it but I can't hold it in any longer,lol. I have the oppertunity to purchase a Tesoro Euro Sabre thanks to one of our great forum members (Hombre)(Randy). I have never been around one of these but have real good feeling about getting it. I buy/sell/trade more often than I probably should but it has given me a chance to get a feel for alot of very good detectors & I am sure the Euro Sabre will be no exception. I know this is something that I have said before but the Euro Sabre is one I have been wanting to try for along time. Hey Randy did you mail it out yet ,how about now,yet,already,maybe,is it here yet,me in a hurry nah not at all, :please:
, lol. Thanks. Steve.
 
I was wondering what you were selling the Golden for Steve..... Good Luck with the Euro Sabre! I've thought of trying that one myself..... I have one you might not have tried yet, when you get ready to swap for something different.... :detecting:

I have one you might not have tried yet, when you get ready to swap for something different Hmm one I haven't tried yet, did Tesoro make a detector that I am not aware of :surprised::laugh:
 
Had the same anticipation and feelings as you when I had my first Euro on the way.
I was all hyped up from the talk a Civil War hunter gave me regarding what others considered a toy
and his finds.

All I can say is....................................sold it soon after it arrived. And then bought my first Tejon.
 
Do some research as the guys across the waters seem to like them and one of their forums should offer some good info...Never tried one so can't help you with any tips...

I don't hunt relics, I hunt for coins & jewelry. I've already had a Tejon (loved it) and now the Euro, we'll see.

No you're aware of it... ( The Tesoro I was talking about) It's a little Silver Sabre, TXJB ( designer of the Killer B's) modified and installed a Manual Ground Balance on for Phillip Hight a few years back...... Even though the warranty on this particular SS umax has been voided with Joe's modification, I was skeptical to do the deal at first until I had talked to Joe, and he assured me if it ever gave me a problem to bring it to him.... he does'nt live far from me anyway, so I went ahead and did the deal and got it..... Man am I ever glad I did, it's been one of my favorite machines..... I use the 4" coil on it for Cherry picking trashy parks and soccer fields for coins..... the 7" concentric is great on it when I go out to an old house site it's not too big has great seperation and has always hit good on the deep small stuff. This little machine has stayed with me through many Tesoro transactions since I got it and gave it a try.... simply because it's a great detector and has never let me down.... The Ground balance change sure made a great little detector.... even better in my opinion. If I ever decide to part with it, I'll drop you a line Steve....

I don't condone in any way cracking open a Tesoro unit and making any changes or adjustments.... I took a chance when I bought this unit.... it was something I pondered over for a couple days before I decided to buy it just because of the voided warranty aspect of it. After speaking with Joe and the fact that I use and own two pair of Killer B's, made me feel confident enough in his ability to do the work on this little Silver Sabre that he did. Phillip and I have lost contact over the years, but when he sold it to me he was very very partial to it and I could tell that it was one of his favorite machines... just as it is to me now. But please please don't try to work on these units unless you are aware of the fact from the start.... if you open it and make changes in any way it could and probably will void that great Warranty Tesoro is so Famous for.
That being said.... I'll get off my soap box now.... lol

Thats a sweet little setup you have there Jay. Had one without the mods. years ago & it was a great jewelry hunter. You are correct about opening up a Tesoro (or any other brand for that matter) but I have opened up a good many of them to set the ground balance to match my soil and it isn't a problem as long as you know what you're doing. Thanks for the pictures. Steve.
 
Thanks Steve,
The Silver is a great unit as they come ... but this one I've had alot of good finds with, and the 10 kHz units in my opinion have much better tone. I'd like to find another old Silver like this without the Modification for my Daughter to use...

I was hoping that the Euro Sabre would make it to me by Saturday, what a surprise seeing it will be here this Thursday, I bet you don't know what I will be doing this Friday & Saturday, Yee-Haw Christmas in April.
