On the Lobo ST sound

[Arturo de Zorro]

Can you hear a difference in tone between square pull tabs and a 5 cent coin, and a screw cap vs a penny?

 

[JB(MS)]

The LST has a single tone. In disc mode every target gave the same audio tone, with the only variation being lower volume for very small or deeper targets and louder volume on big and/or shallow targets.

most tesoros have the ability to express themselves so you can tell the difference. of course its not a 100% you also have the crackle, pop. double beep. i'll stop there and explain. when it crackles most of the time it is an conductor that is close to your discrimination setting. that along can tell you with certain probably what it is. the pop with the tesoro is usually iron, even though you have the discriminator set past this point it will pop anyway. the double beep, now I'm talking with a DD coil. if the object is on edge like a coin, or ring, then you will get a double beep. i said with a DD coil because thats seems to be more pronounced. also a double beep can be generated if the coil is to close to the item, causing an overload. and of course these thing can happen together and any sequence. then to add more you have the short beep, long beep, smoothness of the beep, loudness of the response, quite response. all of these things can happen in any sequence and each thing is telling you something. it takes allot of practice and good head phones to be able to put all of this information to use. now i know the golden has tones, and i believe doesn't have that ability to be so expressive, but is allot quieter to hunt with. allot of people don't like tesoro's because they can be noisy.

noisy is something that describes the new high gain TID detectors out of tune flutes, squeeks, chirps, and other assorted noise.. I have never considered Tesoro as being noisy after using some of those.

I had one TID machine that drove nuts.

Everybody said it was so good.

I couldn't get 4" of coin depth without

it simply driving me nut's. Seeing how

his hobby is supposed be fun, I sold it to

someone hoping they were one of those

many that thought it was so wonderful.

When I got my first Tesoro I was experienceing

stablity (heaven).

I never looked back. All my machines are "quiet"

and satable Tesoro's.

Being quiet doesn't mean it doesn't go nuts

when there is a reason.

I love the language of Tesoros.

HH,

that how i feel, but reading some post people that are used of using something that just has tones, may consider a tesoro a little noisy. i myself do not. i like how the tesoro is reacting.

when it comes to tone harmonic, I will be trading a Xterra 70 for one or the other to hunt trashy sites like old dance hall and lots which once held old homes. I used a Lobo ST one weekend and I could find pennies in a trashy lot by the softer tone, but it had weak depth in my coin garden. Maybe it was the coil, elliptical type.
