Tesoro Outlaw Going Deep :tesoro::usaflag:

[tabman]

I got up early this morning and was at the site before daybreak to beat the heat. Too early, I had to wait around about 15 minutes to be able to see. The first coin that I dug was 1940 wheat penny. It was ever bit of 10 inches deep. I wanted to take a picture but it was not light enough to get a good picture. I kept the discrimination set low (9 o'clock position) and was able to run full sensitivity without any chatter from EMI. I didn't find any silver but I was finding coins that were close to the date of being a silver coin. I found 5 nickels. I really get a kick out of finding nickels for some reason. They were deep and hit hard. A couple of old ones (1964, 1959). The 1965 quarter and a 1966 dime were almost old enough to be silver. Wheat pennies 1945, 1924, 1940,1944. I also found a military pin. I was quite pleased with what the Outlaw was able to find, because I've been over this same ground with other detectors several times. Most of the coins that I dug today were deep, but I was still getting a real good audio tone on them.

In the first picture see if you can see anything that's different other than a 9 inch ProPointer being flush with the ground and a 1924 wheat in the pile of dirt.

I'm really enjoying detecting with the Outlaw. It has a sweet sounding audio tone and it goes super deep.

In the first picture, what's different?
Looks like a pretty large coil?

You're the winner. Yep, it's my recently acquired 10.5 inch coil, not the stock 8 inch coil. It covers a lot of ground fast and goes super deep. Without the coil cover, it's only a ounce heavier than the 9 x 8 inch coil with a coil cover. It works great for covering large open areas that are not too trashy. The 10 x 12 DD coil is probably a better coil for sweeping large areas and handling trash, but it's just a tad too heavy for my bad shoulder.

thanks for sharing tab, that is deep

Man,you were going deep!

Tabman, I read on one of your other posts that you can't use the 12 x10 DD coil because of its weight. Have you tried putting it on "back to front"......this doesn't reduce the weight itself but can adjust the balance to a degree....I do this with a couple of coils (from different manufacturers) and it allows me to use them. Another option is to swing with the other arm. Can mean a bit of fiddling around when it comes to digging, but it may be an option for you. That DD coil is a good one, it's a shame that you cant use it. Pete

You are gonna need a longer pro pointer, or we wont be able to see it next time! Good gracious man...that's really cool to go after those deepies like that! Nice plate full of targets there, Tab!

way to go Tabber! Does that 10.5 go deeper than the 8, or is it just to cover more ground?

Man, a 10 inch wheatie.Its nice to see the Outlaw can go there!

The 10.5 coil covers more ground and is deeper than the 8 inch coil. It works great for big open areas without a lot of trash.

Overall, the 8 inch doughnut is my favorite coil. It's audio response seems to be crisper and I've had really good luck finding goodies in thick trash with it.

Also it has good depth. It will detect a 7 to 8 inch dime in my soil.

The areas I hunt coins in are not very trashy so I might try that 10.5'er out. Great finds and great info, thanks for posting!

Tabman:

Those are some great finds and the pile of junk targets just shows you need to dig then to find the goodies. All three of my detector have Target ID and two have depth readings. I think these features tend to make me lazy and skip over good targets rather than dig them.

My only Tesoro was the original Lobo. It would pick up a nickle with a nail laying right on top of it with the nail discriminated out. I wish I hadn't sold it. I'm considering getting an Outlaw to get back to the beep and dig and find more rings and silver.

Thanks for posting.

I;ve run a 10.5" coil on a Deleon once had very good results deeper as well

Tab, I jumped out of my rig the other day in a heavy trashed and pounded to death park, and found your 1924's brother, namely a 1925 Wheatie on about the 5th swipe with the coil at about 7" with a steel bottle cap in the same hole with my Bandido II uMax
