I'm sending in my DeLeon for a tune up and cleaning today and it hasn't even left the building and I miss it already. It's going to be a tough couple of weeks without it. The main reason I am sending it in is for a new grip as I have worn the other off and had put a grip from a crutch on it plus I am going to have a new battery case put on because every once in a while the doors will come open. I have had it for six years now with plenty of trouble free hours behind it. As many of you loyal forum readers know I had a great year in 08 with my D With 24 rings over half of them gold a few silver coins and over 350.00 in clad. So I will be on pins and needles till my D returns but I figure now is the time to get this done even though we are in for a few days of warm weather they won't last long as there are still a few months of winter left. Anyway thanks for reading and Keep looking down!

phinbolt you are one of the greatest detectorist out thear you should be teaching a class on it or writing a book i can not imagine finding 24 rings in a year some people just have a gift , and ya this treasure thing just has a way of gettingto ya well like being in a desert makes water tast better so will this time away fome your machine inhance your hunt when it gets back
I don't know about being the greatest because there are many on this site that have found much more or finds that make me drool. There are many things on my wish list yet to be found, I did have a year that will be tough to repeat so I can't wait till my D is back sitting in the corner waiting patently to find the goods that other people walk over daily but not us Tesoro users!
Belive it or not I did not find one ring in the water all were found at schools, football fields or soccer fields oh yeah one was found at a empty lot from a old house that had been moved. The best advice is dig dig dig and learn your machine to the best of your ability these Tesoros are great machines and will tell you alot if you listen to what they are telling you. I also practice on large and small rings that my wife owns so I can keep my eyes and ears tuned to any signals like that in the field. Good luck.
Phinbolt - The "D" is a great machine and I love mine, even though I am not even close to your proficiency with it.
Since I don't have your dirt fishing skills, maybe I can help you another way.
To protect the sponge grip, wrap gaffers tape around it.
It protects the foam, adheres great, and can be removed any time without leaving any residue or damaging the foam.
Same thing with the battery cover, put a piece of gaffers tape across it.
Shortly after I got my D I was hunting with it when all of a sudden it quit working.
I said to myself oh s@#t!
Then I saw the battery door had come open and when I looked around I saw the battery pack on the ground.
That night I put gaffers tape across the battery pack. I'm still using the same original piece of tape and even after pulling it up for a battery change and it's still on there and holding just fine.
I agree with you, Tesoros are great machines.
Viva Tesoro!
