I was going to wait until we got some rain, before taking my new Tesoro Outlaw out for its first outing, but I couldn't wait.
I've been testing it out in the yard to see what it could do and found that it hits super hard on nickels (GOLD) and goes deep. I got to the site around 6:00 o'clock this morning so I would miss some of the heat. I pulled out the Outlaw and did a Monte power balance and headed out swinging. Right off I got a nickel (1949) and couple of wheat pennies (1957, 1945). All good signs that I'm in the right area for some silver coins. After digging some more trash, some lead bullets and another nickel, I got a solid but soft tone. I knew whatever it was, it was small and deep. I dug down around 7 inches and popped the greenest wheat penny (1936) that I've ever dug. I'm on a roll! 
I hit another good sounding loud target that I talked myself out of digging since the ground was rock hard and I wanting to get a bite to eat and something to drink. After my break, I headed out swinging again with a renewed energy. Somehow around 30 minutes later, I ended up over the target that I had passed up earlier. The Outlaw was screaming out loudly, dig, dig, dig. It sounded like a gold ring, but I was at a location that you wouldn't expect to find a gold ring. This was silver coin territory, not a sports field. It sounded too good to pass up a second time. I dug down around 3 inches and popped out a nice gold ring. Happy, Happy, Happy! It was getting to be around 9:30 or so and I knew it would be all down hill from here on out and the heat was beginning to rise. So I packed up headed for home.
I'm really liking my Tesoro Outlaw a lot. It can do it all. Relic, coin and jewelry. You can see all of my settings in the pictures. I started out with the discrimination set at the 9:00 o'clock position, but moved it later on in the hunt to the 'foil' position, because I was digging some really small deep targets and the ground was too hard for doing that.
