My Cibola found a silver quarter at a foot once. You doing something wrong?

And BTW videos can be manipulated so easily by anyone, NEVER buy a machine based on a video!

That's baloney,......

I have found buckets full of coins and jewelry with Tesoro machines.

Starting with the "Original Silver Sabre"

Oh, I have heard more than one tech say that the basis of many,many,
machines is the original Silver Sabre circuit.

Tesoro was one of the Prominent Pioneers of modern metal detecting.

I have an old conquistador with frequency shift. Long ago you would get interference from electrical lines. I hunted many cutovers that TVA had and could change frequency's if I got interference. Dug a lot of civil war relics with a tesoro. Some were very deep iron some were shallow buttons. The thing I liked it was light and you could swing really fast and cover a lot of ground and it pinpointed like no other. Granted I went back with the AT Pro on a lot of sites and picked up things I missed and again with an F-75 and got things the At Pro missed. The only thing I really like about the At Pro is I can dunk it in the creek. The F-75 is a chatter box in my opinion but a deeper machine. I will continue to scout with my ancient Tesoro because it tells me if I relics are there.
It might take me an hour or two but I can go out in my yard after a rain with the Tesoro and can almost guarantee an enfield or 3 ringer. I always swear I have hunted it out but now my ummm flower beds produce on occasion! Lol

To be fair, hunt 9 years and 6 months more with the Nox and Deus.

Then re-post with how things balance out.


*There,........now you guys can thank me, he'll be gone for 9 1/2 years.

Calabash, the answer to your question is not in the machine, it's what's in the ground to begin with. If its not there, you won't find it.

Well, you did great in the water for sure. I save this one camp as my quid pro quo go to place. We've pulled some great stuff out of there and since the farmer still plows, stuff still keeps turning up. People take me to their spots, and a few times a year we go here, preferably after a plowing. Last time in we got 3 Confederate buttons, a Georgia frame buckle, an eagle breastplate, a Union cartridge box plate, two hat letters and a bunch of minie balls, plus whatever I forgot to mention. I didn't exactly write down what every one else got.

The only reason people found gold with a Tesoro is they were digging blind and pulling everything out of the ground.....:icon_thumleft: I bet they didnt have the disc thumbed way up....:laughing9: BTW just put some new videos on the AT PRO and Equinox that might interest you...
