MY JUNK DELEON !!!!!!:throw:

[Woodchuck]

Got my Deleon back today .CLEAN BILL OF HEALTH @#$%^$. Quote" I know its not what you want to here,but your Deleon is working exceptionally well here.I personally checked your unit when it arrived and other than the normal response due to interference spikes here in the factory I could not fault it. Everything you described was cause by a strong source of external interference ---ID units are more susceptible to this,and there are times when we have to go strictly audio as the meter will be scrolling to the extent that is unusable." Unquote This was checked by Rusty Henry sevice mgr.at Tesoro. YOU GOT THAT RIGHT UNUSABLE ! when it acted up in middle of woods and screen freezes on iron reading and stays there. To point of not able to use detector,what was the interference allergic to TREES?.The detector would be working fine then bam hicups where screen get stuck in iron reading .ITS GONE AND THIS WAS MY FIRST TESORO !!!!!. I had heard that it was sesitive to EMI but this!!!.:veryangry:

Hi Woodchuck

Out in the middle of the woods,I would'nt think EMI interferernce is the problem. Are you sure that the area you was hunting at did'nt have a bunch of iron in the ground? I've allways had good luck with the service from Tesoro, Rusty has been there for years and very knowledgable about electronics, heck they even had parts and fixed my 25 year old Inca. You might try a different spot to detect at, and give the DeLeon another try. A buddy of mine has had his DeLeon for 6 years without problems. Good Luck with whatever you decide.
