DeLeon issue! What to do?

[Furious T]

That sounds great. Really glad that Tesoro (Rusty) have been able to sort out the problem. As I said in one of my earlier messages, I have not had a problem with mine in over six years, and it is still finding coins and stuff when I take it out. I hope you have much success and enjoyment with your DeLeon.

Well, took the DeLeon out to an old ghost town sight for about three hours in a light drizzle and close to freezing temps. The DeLeon literally feels like a whole different machine. Rusty at Tesoro advised the DeLeon was pretty much spot on and they only made some minor adjustments. They also calibrated the DeLeon to the 5.75 coil for optimum performance. Don't know what "minor" adjustments they made, but the DeLeon ran smooth, quiet, and deep! I even ran it under power lines and the DeLeon never made a peep. I ran high sensitivity and sometimes in the Max Boost area. I'm very happy with the performance now and I'm already getting to know the language a bit. I found six very small bottle cap type items about the size of a dime. Not sure what they are, but they read 95 and I was picking them up from 3 to 8 inches and one at a depth of my entire Lesche tool, probably 12 inches or so! I also found several brass rounds from shotgun shells up to eight inches or so, but those things sound off like a sonic boom, so no telling how deep it would go on one of those. They also read 95 for the most part.

All in all, I'm very happy. The return to Tesoro was a little disappointing, but having the experts at Tesoro checking it out and calibrating to the 5.75 has given me new found confidence in the DeLeon and I see a long and productive relationship!!!

On another note, after swinging the DeLeon for three hours, I have zero shoulder issues!!! If I would have been swinging my MXT, I would have taken half a bottle of Advil by now and wouldn't get a minute of sleep tonight! Thanks to Tesoro for making quality, lightweight detectors!!!!

I dont know if the problem might be related or not, but my tejon acts very unpredictable like yours is behaving when it needs new batteries. have you tried changing batteries? some times they lay on the shelves long time

i think waynes detectors in OKC better step up to the plate.....and Tesoro for that matter..your dealer should exchange machine with no ?s....if the machine dont work .it dont work..how come the dealer cant see if this machine is right or wrong..you should have a coil cover that comes with this...that coils going to catch on grass and whatever. (tuff swinging)hope things work out for you....

Any respectable dealer would rectify the problem.....in my estimation...You are talking about additional costs and above all several weeks downtime so time to contact the dealer...Case closed...
