It'll be in the directions ... You basically just max the threshold and sensitivity...
Some people say 3'oclock on the threshold is more than enough.

Run sensitivity as high as you can without constant falsing

Be cautioned that super tuning can reduce the detector's ability to discriminate out larger nails and other iron objects.

You can read the manual on-line at the Tesoro web page.

Here is a paste directly from the manual:
"Super Tune Your Cibola

The Cibola can be set up to get even better depth and sensitivity while operating in the DISCRIMINATE Mode. Super tuning is accomplished by working in the DISCRIMINATE Mode and turning the THRESHOLD knob to the highest setting.

Super tuning your Cibola will cause the threshold audio level to be set too high for accurate All Metal or Pinpointing operation.

To start, turn the DISCRIMINATE LEVEL knob to just above the IRON setting and turn the SENSITIVITY knob as high as it will go without causing the detector to chatter. Check a target or two and notice how far away you can get from the coil and still receive a repeatable audio signal. Now, turn up the THRESHOLD knob and recheck the targets. You should see an increase in the distance from the target to the coil. Push the PINPOINT button. Notice that the threshold tone is far too loud to accurately identify some of your targets.

Take some time to try different targets and settings in an air test to see how well your detector will work in the ground."

Cheers,

Yep, It's in the manual.
