Haha thanks for the video.
So you can ground balance with the auto switch or were you thumbing the GB while pumping.
Don't really understand what the auto is for compared to the all metal.
Didn't really go over the red button, or I missed it.
Haha you definitly have that accent.

 

[amberjack]

yeah the whole thing was an after thought I went out for a hunt thought I would do a quick video and I need to remember not everyone understands what I understand.

yeah GB in Auto , doing it in all metal is not fun !!

it was already balanced but that's the sound you are looking for, if I get a chance tomorrow I can do vid what it sounds like out of balance , but you are after that steady sound up/down pump.

here is the outlaw manual https://www.metaldetector.com/media/_docs/Manual/EN/Tesorutlaw_Manual.pdf

make of that as you will

so to keep it simple turn on detector, GB, set disc and start digging it really isn't complicated I think people do over complicate things sometimes

outlaw is a great detector that works well for park hunting in disc mode one of the best cheap detectors if not the best out there.

yep I talk funny wait till you hear/see the next fun video I did today its about ready will post it up asap, the whole thing is about having fun and I have fun detecting even by myself hrs of fun chatting away to myself in my own little world whats not to like

I will add I don't know everything I just know what I know for me its about learning yes for sure but its about having fun if I am having fun I am learning

the AM on the outlaw is not its strong point sure it works, auto is faster retune than AM from what I can see, I have other detectors that I use for AM hunting the outlaw is not one of them.

have a giggle its fun, life is short we need fun !!

AJ

 

[Stoof-tabsallday]

Well, I wouldn't call it cheap, but moderately priced. Heck of a deal with the 3 coils though!!

 

[amberjack]

its cheap compared to a ctx

you don't need the 3 coil pack so under 450 $ is cheap.

no idea why youtube spun the video to I am walking down hill left handed weird anyway.

for a cheap detector with that 7" mono it finds the goodies.

AJ

 

[Stoof-tabsallday]

Yeah I just picked up the 5.75, so I could just get the detector. Only thing I'd be missing is the big one. But it's not much more to have all of them in the package.
I keep relating costs to my relic and what it does.

So for those who own both, how does the vaq, tejon, and outlaw compare to eachother?
What features are on one and not another?

For cost, the outlaw with 3 coils seems like the best deal, but the vaq is nice too. Can't use my current coils though :-(

 

[iqwozpoom]

I don't own all three but I had the outlaw three coil, the big dd that it came with didn't impress much, if you have the 6" you're better off with just the 8" package in my opinion.

 

[amberjack]

I agree I don't use a bigger coil than 8 x 6 other than the CSC on any Tesoro.

if you look at my signature you can see what detectors I have and use.

the 4 pin Tesoro's are different and I'm not going out to make vids today , maybe next week.

really you can read till your blue in the face about any detector it can drive you nutts as you can see from my video.

short and sweet of it all is read about the detectors features and shell out the clams use it for a minimum of 100 hrs before making any decision whether to use it for another 100 hrs and if it makes it past the 200hr test its probably a keeper.

I find it hard to get rid of detectors that have found me gold or are hot on goldies and well 9 out of the 10 are proven in my list.

I haven't tried every detector made so find a brand you click with and well you don't have goldies over there so you best turn your disc down and start digging some gold hey get some cash to pay for your toys unless you are rich and well then just buy one of each I probably would , but having a lot doesn't mean finding a lot.

bottom line they all find stuff its how we interact with them that's the key to the relationship and they all have their own personality and after 200 hrs at least on a detector you start to work out how that relationship works.

some of my detectors I clicked with from day dot others were way in to their 1st 100 hrs before I started to click with them like the gold bug pro which now has turned in to a F19 in the 1st 100 it was nearly rapped around a few tree's or poles but I am glad I stuck with it as its one of my top producers and we do get along much better now after all I went the new modal when it came out

so its our relationship with the detector that has to grow and like any relationship it only grows as we put time in to it.

if I met camera girl and never talk to her or spend time with her I get no videos

Haha well i havent had 100 hrs on any of mine yet, but some i do click with.
Oddly enough the one i care for the least so far would be my ace but in a twist of irony, ....
1. I found a gold ring with it.
2. Out of all that are listed in my sig (besides the relic because ITS MINE! LOL) Its the first that people grab when i ask which theyd like to use.

But so far i like the style of hunting with my tesoros. Specifically my compadre. Today i plan to go have a bit of a bunt and the funny thing is, im leaving all of them at home and bringing the tesoro.
The reason im inthe market for another tesoro is because of thecompadre. The deleon is nice, but has a display.
Days like today, i just want to go out and beep, thumb to get an idea onthe disc, and dig.
So as great as the compadre is, id like another knob unit with more features.

The entire theme to this thread is which one and why comparing one to another. Either way, inthe near future, i will have a nicer (more knobs lol) tesoro.

The only requirement i must have is GB so i can change coils.

 

[amberjack]

well good luck on your hunt

Tesoro only make 2 µMax style detectors with GB today that works in both disc and AM so the choice is the Outlaw which you have coils for or the Vaquero which you don't.

which is better mmmmm depends they have both found me gold but I do lean more the Outlaws way its a mellower detector the V is a bit of a screamer having said that with the Detech 8 x 6 coil it is one of the most sensitive detectors in disc mode, and well if you want more sensitive then the gold racer cant be beat. but that's a whole new ball game there.

really boils down to cash???

if so the O is a no brainer you have coils for it its a great jewellery and coin detector and it has more coil options than the 4 pins as they do not make the cleansweep for the 4 pin detectors only the 5 so there in my book is a huge reason to go 5 pin. as in the Outlaw or some older modal which get this cultish thing happening but why buy a detector that you then need to spend more money on to get checked out get an Outlaw and go tectin

I like the way you think AJ lol.
I'm already leaning toward te outlaw but just wanted to check.

Can the outlaw be super tuned like the vaq I see so many videos about? No pinpoint so I'm not sure
Not that it really matters.
Let's face it, I'll end up owning a bunch of them like you lol. But I'm looking for my NEXT one haha.
Yeah the outlaw seems to be the winner with a lack of contributions on that one.
But also like you said, the coils can be shared.
Downside is that my deleon has been internally set to the troy, so might gain/lose some with other coils because of that and not being able to GB.
In the end, it will still detect, so I'll find it!!!
But I love the compadre, so I must have another leisure detector.

I'll say again, I'm very interested in what's new coming from them. And there is something new.
I'll get that probably too.
The more you have, the more choices you have. The mre choices you have the more times you can go over the same area. The more times you go over the same area, the more you dig. The more you dig, the more you find!!!

 

[amberjack]

you can use the pinpoint button on the outlaw it wont blow up just a bit fiddly is all

I use a pin point button on a Tesoro 1 in 1000 digs so really don't need one I don't think.

there used to be like new Outlaws coming up on ebay daily haven't seen one for awhile that's always an option but in the US buy new get lifetime warranty worth the extra cash I think.

well yeah new detector from Tesoro maybe but its just knobs and switches they really haven't changed only made them fit in the µMax housing and Jacks last detectors are the V,C,T and that's the last new detectors they have made.

so I don't know where they have to go really unless they go digital and who knows they might but then they will be just like everyone else only thing that makes Tesoro Tesoro is that they are stuck in the 80's change that they probably just fall off the map.

so yeah people whinge where's the new detector , they did the outlaw copped crap for it, when its a great machine just from that little video I did I have been over that spot with a ctx and other high end machines so forget my Aussie humour and look at what come out I sure wasn't expecting that, so don't knock the outlaw and that 7" coil its a great little set up for the 1st 6"

you can still use other coils on the Deloen , I change coils on my Cibola and silver mild ground its fine doesn't matter they work fine.

just remember you can only use one at time I would like to add but reality would say for me to add something needs to go and I don't want any to go so I just window shop its free takes time and is some entertainment and I learn stuff too so nothing wrong with window shopping.

you have the coils add the O and its a nice machine I don't care what anyone says

AJ

 

[amberjack]

and yes you can super tune the Outlaw.

AJ

 

[Stoof-tabsallday]

You need to make a supertune video for the outlaw AJ. Youll be the first one!!!
Plus id like to see it done right

 

[amberjack]

pretty much the same as GB ing just turn the sens in to the red threshold so you can just hear it and balance , then turn the threshold up to 3 pm or more if you can then balance in disc mode to a big silver coin as big silver is the 1st thing we lose on an out of balance detector so fiddle with the GB till you get max distance on the big silver. then tweak to your ground if necessary with very small GB knob movements.

at the end of the day stable detector will get more depth than an unstable one in 99% of situations so its not always the best thing to be over the edge right on it yes over lose discrimination and depth, so the above will help you get right on the edge.

AJ

 

[Stoof-tabsallday]

Ok awesome.
Thanks AJ!!

 

[Stoof-tabsallday]

Gonna post it up later today, didn't have a chance to clean it but the compadre got its first silver yesterday!!
Love that thing!!

 

[amberjack]

very good news, and please post up your finds, but remember we can handle dirty

[Stoof-tabsallday]

Got alot more than what will be in the pic. Gave a bunch away to the flock of kids that were following me.
