It's pretty amazing that a 20 year old detector can work SO well! I've had plenty of expensive electronics only last a couple years before becoming junk, but these old Tesoros sure are built to last..!
I hadn't been able to get out detecting for over 2 weeks now. Family from South Carolina is here on vacation staying with us and they're not too keen on digging. So, we dropped 'em off at Disneyland yesterday morning (!) then my wife and I headed for the hills, to a camp area that's been used for recreatin' since the 1880's. Took one of my favorite Tesoros, too.. Found a fair bit of clad, an old USN belt buckle, junk ring, lots of tabs & melted aluminum...and this really nice 1912-D nickel!
I wish all products I buy were as well made as these old Tesoros.
