newbie with a Lobo

Hello everyone- my name is Stew and I live in Northern California. I'm new to this board and new to MD'ng. Being that the West does not have as rich and colorful a history as the East and that I'm in gold country, I plan to do some prospecting but I also wanna get the most out of it searching for all the other cool stuff if there's any to be found. I just went ahead and ordered myself a Lobo. Was wondering if anyone here has any advice as to what secondary coil/s to get to make this thing as close to a 'do it all' machine as I can. My GF says she won't MD with me- but I ordered her a Silver uMax anyway. Worst case scenario I end up with 2! ;) Best case scenario, she catches the bug and I upgrade her to a vaquero and I end up with 2! :bouncy: Yeah- I'm a little partial towards the Tesoro line.
 
Sounds like a plan to me.

DG, you're sure startin out with a fine selection of machines!

Gosh, that's nice!

Time behind the wheel is the best thing... nothing better than persistence.

5,75 concentric is a very popular coil addition for the Silver uMax.
I just don't know, about the LST... but someone will be along with advice.

Headphones are pretty much mandatory.
Killer Bee's have been given the nod as a good value. Some like other brands. I use Calrad's.
Personally, I like independent volume controls.

Welcome to the site! It sounds like you have 2 very nice machines on the way. I am sure you will do well with both, Beale.
 
Thanks guys- it is comforting to know the more experienced guys thinks so too! Then again, I have not come across a bad review of any Tesoro machine. I just picked one with the highest score, and another built for the specific task I plan on engaging in.

rmptr, i already ordered 2 sets of headphones, one was a calrad and the other was an audiophone. I wish all the Tesoro coils would fit all their machines. I will get the 5.75" concentric (eventually) for the Silver uMax. Gonna test these 2 machines first to see what their stock coils can do plus I'm kinda broke after springing for those 2 machines! I bought a 5/16th" long, 5 grain nugget off Ebay just to see how the Lobo stock coil performs on the little nugget. So darn excited right now- but it's gonna be about a week before I get the Silver. No word yet from the dealer about the Lobo.

Get The 8" Concentric Coil..Call Rusty At Tesoro And Let Him Explain How They Can Super Tune Your Lobo S/T To Get 20% More Depth On Coins..Be Sure & Get The Lower Shaft With It As Well..Makes Changing Coils A "Snap"!
