Tesoro Toltec II update

[SkiWhiz]

Hi folks got my Toltec II the other day, tossed some coins on the ground to see how it worked. Coins hit well, id'd accurately, everything disc'd out where they should of. I took the Toltec to a ball field today, I would get a beep and time I would have the plug out the hole it was full of water. We had about 4 inches of snow that just melted. So I went to a dryer place, I went to a wood chip tot lot, first hit (registered as a coin but a bit jumpy on the meter) turned out to be a Canadian dime, next beep was a gold (not real gold) man's chain necklace (my first ever in 20+ years of detecting)next was a piece of jewelry of some type, the next was a girls ring with half of the part that you put your finger in broke off, that was about all I got in the wood chips. Decided to go into the grass first hit was a quarter then the next beep turned out to be believe it or not a another ring that looks like a womens wedding band, after that I got a bunch of glad. Usually when I go out detecting I normally get two pieces of jewelry of some sort but this was the first time ever that I got 5. I only detected for about 1 hour at the most and this was at a place that I have hunted several times. I am not a display readout type guy by any means but I tell you what that analog meter on my Toltec II is pretty darn accurate. The only fault I have with the detector is that it is heavier than I am used to (almost 4 pounds) but boy when you dig up a ring or piece of jewelry it really takes your mind off the weight. For all you folks wanting Tesoro to come out with a new model or two I am thinking that the older the Tesoro the better. Thanks! Steve.

Hey Skiwhiz

What took you so long, these detectors went out of production 10+ years ago? Just josh'n ya Bud. I'm glad ya like it, now go hit some of those "old cellar holes" you people in Upstate NY are famous for. I would love to hit some of those places, all I have got to hunt is old victorian houses an old school yards. Just this morning, at an old three story school house that has been pounded for years, I found a old pocket spill of six wheat pennys from the teens, I am cleaning them up later.PM me if you have any questions, later............Hombre

Thanks Hombre, I don't post about my finds very much - I don't like to blow my own horn or want folks to think that I am BS"in them. But this old Tesoro really amazed me with it's sensitivity and accurate target id'ing. I am going to use it hip mounted next time & see how that goes, it will be different for sure but might be the cats meow. I thank you Hombre for your reply and for the info you given me earlier on the Toltec. I hope you find lots of "goodies" and thanks my friend. Steve.

I don't post my finds either, I just try to help others. Did you ever get around to checking the GB on yer Ol Toltec? It can be adjusted by taking off the small plug on the back of the detector. Have fun with it, mine has served me well for 14 years, don't plan on parting with it. Have a good'n...........Hombre

Help is a thing that you do indeed & I appreciate it. Yeah I know about the GB but it seems to be about right for my ground. I sure like them hits when the needle on the meter is on the iron/foil setting never know what it is going to be, but today it turned out to be goooood. Steve.
