Supertuning and Discrimination

I have heard that super tuning a Cibola or Vaquero may cause the discrimination to become unreliable.
Is this true?

Not on mine.
Pinpointing button won't be useable if you supertanker, however.
 
Hey Kenny, I don't know if I would call it unreliable, but it does change where it is going to disc iron.

When I run Supertuned, iron targets that would normally disc out just above the iron setting will not disc out till about the 2nd mark above the iron setting.
 
Ok , thanks everyone. I may be getting a Cibola soon, so I'm gathering info from you Tesoro
experts. ;)
Thanks again!
 
If you want to dig ALOT of rusty iron, be sure to supertune! I could not stand supertuning on my Vaquero, the disc was barely working it seemed. .
 
Sure seems to and the Cibola/Vaquero and Tejon are a little more susceptible to iron fooling them without supertuning them so it compounds it. The added depth these three give comes at a price over the units that are not "hot" tech.
 
When you super tune them what you'll find is in the extended range it will start to really like small rusty stuff.
That's why I traded out my great Vaquero for a Tejon, I gained the extended range without super tuning.

Well that's concerning.....
I really had my heart set on a Cibola. :(. Please tell me that for normal coin shooting it is going to work well.
 
It will work fine.
I find a huge amount of coins and I supertune most of the time.
Last fall I used my Vaq was in a very old historical estate that had a ton of iron from large to small everywhere.
Supertuned the real big stuff overloaded, the smaller stuff I knew was iron because it painted to big to be coin sized and was a little too loud and the real small stuff sounded different than other targets so I could tell.
I dug a bunch of iron here anyway because it could have been cool and our club was trying to gather relics from the property to present as a display, but I know enough about my Vaq to know iron of all kinds more often than not.
I have the high tone model so that might have helped in some way, but I really have no idea how the low tone models work exactly on the Vaq or Cibola because I have never swung one.

Even in all this iron and other trash, modern and old, I was still able to find and easily free this thing from mother earth at about 4-5" in depth.
 
Just watch my video with all my cibola finds. I always keeped it super tuned all the time, I do like some iron relics as the big ones do come through like most machines.
