Does anyone really use them on there tesoro's .......i feel like they pinpoint so well with all there coils without using the button. And when I run the cibola, and Vaquero with the threshold cranked there kinda pointless anyway....one more curiosity ...... since they use analog tech, too bad they don't have old school style meters to show depth and VDI possibilities Incorporated with the pp button ......or is that just me ? I loved the old Whites meters, or have a newer style digital meter with analog circuitry.....then we would not have to thumb that disc know so much....bet there is all sort of suspense with that knob when your cranking it up and that smoooooth target sound is still there......ahhh how do I love that sound. Or even better have a detachable meter that can work with a bunch of other tesoro models...I'm over my head now...have a great weekend everyone and go dig some old and new BLING !

Pinpoint button

I don't use the Tesoro pinpointer because, well, it sucks.
I'm use to my Fisher no-motion pinpointer telling me how deep I'm looking at digging and being dead on locating it.
Why even have the button when it doesn't work? That's why the guys modding their Tesoros remove the pinpoint button and inserts their ground balance pot.
I keep practicing on my Tesoro but I'm still digging bigger cuts than I want to.
Does it cost that much between the motion and no-motion circuitry?

I will have to make a video on a secret tip on how to pinpoint any signal. It works and it works well with any brand machine. But like all my videos I only keep them ad free on YouTube for one day. So findmall folks can watch them. Then I add monetization to them so I can gather a few Penny's..kinda like digging at a park...so wierd that they don't let you show videos with ads. Oh well ! So many great videos out there they don't allow. That are a great resource to the metal detecting community....it's not that I or we make alot of money of them but it pays for shoes and toys or even an detector for me or my kids. Heck even pay a bill or two to keep life floating in he right positive direction on my journey in life that we only live once to share as human being... Dang yea we only live once...let's share what we experience and love that fact that people share and its a great thing that folks take the time and Share our experiences and God let us make a buck !
I use the pinpoint. Adds more information.
When I started setting up for a usable threshold and not "super tuned" (threshold way up) I found the discriminator on the Cibola worked much better. With a usable threshold, I stopped digging a lot of those big, deep iron pieces that gave wonderful beeps when super tuned. With a usable threshold, sizing targets and determining depth with reasonable accuracy is easy. Also gets spot on pinpointing to minimize impact to the ground when recovering targets. My trash to good target ratio went way down when I started setting up with a usable threshold. If I am in a well cleaned out area, I'll go back to super tuned, but those occasions are few.
When I did the 10 turn ground balance pot on my Cibola, the pot went where the pinpoint switch was and a three position toggle switch went right under the unit in perfect trigger position. Center position is discrimination mode, pull it to pinpoint (spring return to center position), push to lock in all-metal.
With the Tejon, I think the pinpoint retune speed is too fast. Need to sweep the coil more quickly than I like to get good information. Cibola retune on pinpoint is not as fast, making it very usable.

I use it at times .When I'm having trouble pinpointing something I'll turn the threshold down real low and push the pinpoint button . It will then barely sound off directly above the target .
I hit it all the time just to hear how the target sounds in both all metal and disc .
