DeepTech

Single Tone Tesoro Detectors

I have read many posts about people who have used Tesoros for so long that they could tell much about their targets from the slight differences in the tone. I have been using a Vaquero for about 50 hours or so and I believe I am learning these differences. Here is my procedure. I set the disc to just above iron. When I get a signal, I start the thumbing. First stop right at nickle(a nickle signal will leave just a hair past), if signal still there, I go to first line past tab and if it is still there, I dig. This is a foolproof method, but after digging 25 deeper coins(6 to8 inches), I started recognizing these deep coins and I started eliminating the disc thumbing. It was amazing that most of these signals were indeed coins. Also, the intermediate depth coins are starting to sound different then tabs and aluminum slaw. The last V I had was a high tone model and my current one is the regular tone. I believe the regular tone V 's tone has more variances to my hearing that allow coins to sound different than junk. Maybe I am imagining this or maybe I have got more comfortable with my latest V, but one thing for sure, this detector is a coin magnet
 
It's taken me a while to pick up on the more subtle differences in the tones. But after a while you begin to hear them. I wouldn't say I can identify a dime versus a quarter etc. but I can quite reliably identify foil, general trash and so forth versus what's probably a 95% or better coin signal. The longer you work at it the better you're going to get. Have fun.

I had a V and while there were tonal diffrences I thought they were marginal at best and never got the hang of them, it beeped I dug. The real nice thing was how crisp the DISC settings were though. The Bandido II that I have (non UMax) is really something for tone variations but not nearly as deep as the V.

I like the subtle tonal quality of non multiple tone Tesoro detectors. It's hard to explain in words what a sweet signal sounds like.The only way to explain what a deep signal sounds like is that it is a small narrow signal about the same size as the actual object you are about to dig.Deep silver has a unique sound to it, you can slowly lift your coil a little bit while you a swinging over the detected target and the signal goes away, you just smile to yourself and plan on another GOOD find!!!
