I hope someone from Tesoro considers this....

I fiddled with my Silver umax and accidentally dropped it and I guess you know the wiring caught on an object on the way to the floor Well, I went to using my Compadre and Ace. Well, A few days ago I got to looking at my Royal Sabre in the corner, whose coil split a year ago. Soooo, I took the coil off the Silver and put it on the Royal just for "funsies" and set the two tone function to split at the most common tab. OMG!! I was finding coins in presearched places and the Royal was lightning FAST and only "problem" tabs were found-about 3-4. The thing with the two tone is ALL the Tesoro characteristics- blazing reset, Tesoro "talk", fast pinpointing, and finding stuff next to trash are kept. My understanding is the technology is ALREADY there- like the Euro Sabre and others. Now I don't really care, I'm 69 and my Royal will probably outlast me. But this two tone function is a WINNER! And in a umax configuration--OMG!!
Forgot to mention. Found a nickel on top of a quarter-pure high tone! Same with clad UNDER tabs! And the nickel tone is pure and unmistakable.

who knows maybe they are going to turn the silver into the Caz

Not having an older Tesoro, I first ran across using a two tone with adjustable break point when looking at a neighbor's Bounty Hunter. I don't remember what model it was. After a little testing, found it could see a quarter at maybe 5 to 6 inches at best; in mild loam dirt. Playing with setting the tone break point had me wishing I had that on a deeper detecting unit. Nice feature! Wish that feature had found it's way into the Tejon rather than the dual discriminator.

Yeah, the Tracker models have that feature, but the nickel range is much better on the Tesoro. All the Tesoro features are still there-you just have a form of ID to sweeten the pot. Aluminum wires off fences gave a warble, as well as other trash like the common tab. On some of the statabs, I could even hear a little tone mix, tho many gave nickel tone. Plus, the Tesoro operating frequency hits hard on nickels and tabs-the gold range.

I always though it was funny that my cheap old Tracker IV had two-tone and none of my Tesoros do

It's sad, really. I get the concept of beep-dig. What I don't get is being out of touch with the customer so much that even the simplest form of already available technology is withheld- even sold AWAY from the US consumers!

I have a Golden Sabre and a Golden Sabre Plus. If Tesoro would remake these machines in a uMax housing I would buy them new. The GS Plus has an awesome all metal which is deep and good for pinpointing with its slow threshold retune. I guess that's how you say that? I know what you mean about the tone break. I don't know how your Royal Sabre does but my tone break works with the notch on or off. I tried a Golden uMax once and loved the way the tones sounded but 4 was just too many tones for me. I get confused easily LoL.

Yeah- it works in both modes. I like the beep-dig option in minimum disc, but I also love the tone option to verify. Just makes sense.

I broke a connector, sent it in and Rusty and the gang fixed it and sent it back for no charge. Also Switchcraft makes the connectors if someone can fix it for you locally.
