Tesoro Deleon

[hillbillyhunter]

I just bought a Deleon for 80 bucks with the stock coil and a 7" troy shadow coil. Which coil will go deeper and does anyone have any particular settings that work better than others? Can this machine be a descent relic hunter? I live in Eastern Tenn if that soil content makes a difference.

Thanks,

The larger the coil the deeper it goes up to a point and then it sees to much minerals. Check the Tesoro website and research the field tests..

The stock coil should be deeper, but the 7" is a good park coin hunter. My DeLeon has very good depth on coins and should be good for relics as long as the ground isn't too mineralized as it doesn't have manual or auto ground balance. I find for most coin shooting that a sensitivity setting from 7 to 9 runs very smooth and gives plenty of depth. I usually have the disc set below nickel. I really like the D. Only thing I'd change would be add a manual ground balance in both all metal and disc.

Dig all your signals with the Deleon. Target I.D gets a little iffy beyond 7'to 8' in. Found two dimes at 12 in. yesterday . Target graph identified them as pulltabs . Target id numbers showed in the 80's. I bought my Deleon for 100 bucks at a garage sale . Ive owned at least six different detectors, 4 brands, and so far the Deleon is my favorite. For 80 bucks you stole it I use the stock coil . I have yet to miss a target ,flip it in all metal mode to pinpoint ,its right on the money.

Wow, thats pretty impressive that the decade old Deleon is a fav over the newer AT Pro.
