Tesoro Hits It Out Of The Park With The Outlaw :tesoro::usaflag:

[tabman]

The more I use the Outlaw, the better I like it.

I went back over a curb/sidewalk grass strip yesterday that I have detected with couple of other detector brands and was amazed at what the Outlaw found.

No gold or silver, but lots of clad coins, a couple of wheat pennies, some copper pennies, 3 nickels, several tokens and some other interesting stuff.

I was using the 8 inch doughnut coil and was working it slowly down the grass strip. I was getting one clear signal after another.

The discrimination on the Outlaw is as good as it gets. It just walks right through small pieces of iron picking out good targets.

Other detectors that I used at this location had a rough time with the EMI and iron and were real chatty. Not the Outlaw, it ran smoothly.

The Outlaw is super fun to use. It does it job and does it well without a lot of chatty noise.

Great report Tab! Say, it this Outlaw quick, and how many tones does it have?
Mud

Mud, just one tone and that's it. That's all you really need. If I'm out with a detector that has multi-tones and I'm looking for old silver coins, I'm going to be doing what the majority of others do, listening for the 'high' tone and ignoring the other tones. I call that 'high toning'. It works pretty good except, you're leaving a lot of silver coins in your footsteps. For instance, if a silver coin is next to a pull tab or other trash, a multi-toned detector will most likely give a medium tone (zinc, pull-tab) or other tone rather than a high tone for silver. You know, the tones you are ignoring, because you don't want to dig any trash targets. That's why they make multi-toned detectors. Right? On the other hand, if I set the discrimination on the Outlaw to discriminate out pull-tabs and lower in the discrimination range, a silver coin next to a pull tab or other trash will most likely produce a beep that's going to get dug.

I could dig a lot less trash if I didn't have gold jewelry fever by setting my discrimination higher to ignore most gold and trash targets. I just have trouble doing that. A lot of people who use multi-toned detectors use them so they will dig less trash by ignoring the tones in the lower discrimination scale where most of the trash and gold targets reside. They can do the same thing with a Tesoro by setting the discrimination high and not have to listen to the tones they're ignoring anyway.

Yeah, it's fast and can be worked slowly.

tabman, sounds like you've got a great machine. I do want to disagree that all machines will 'average' a high and low tone and give you a medium one. My Safari never does that and I dig a lot of mediocre signals most places just to be certain. I can tell with about 80% accuracy whether a tone is a pull tab (tid=15) or a nickel (tid=14) just by the tone.

But the important thing is that Your machine works for You and My machine works for Me.
Good Huntin!

If it can correctly ID a nickel in between a couple of beaver tail pull tabs without averaging, I want one. I'm talking an inch or so apart at a few inches deep.

My G2 with duo processors is blazing fast and it can't do it. My T2SE is almost as fast and can't do it. If Minelab can, I will give one a try.

My advice is to stay with a winner. Play with a buddy's machine, sure- but the man that knows his machine is the one that cleans out the field.

Not to mention a true no motion all metal mode.You can hold the coil still over a quarter and it will signal until the battery goes dead.It is a great detector with two extra coils and two extra shafts for the money.
