Tesoro Notch Width Metal Detectors, I know of four.

1.Royal Sabre Plus.
2.Golden Sabre II
3.Golden uMax.
4.Cortes.


How many of you like this discrimination notch width feature, use this feature, and wish Tesoro would bring this back in a new release or added to your current go to detector. Some example possibly the Bandido uMax II, Vaquero, Tejon, Tiger Shark, Outlaw, Silver, or even the Deleon?? Any other Tesoro models you wish this would be of benift to you?

By the way Tesoro knew it was on track when they made the Silver as I mentioned from it's historical revision.. because it was refined to what u know and use today as a great detector for it's price..especially in your case. Great grab caratunk.

The sand shark is a pulse induction machine and has no discrimination hence no notch.

I have GoldenSabreII and really like it.
I haven't used the notch accept/reject feature very much.
I mostly dig it all as there are plenty of goodies that are easily notched out.
The two tone feature is nice as it gives you the ability to adjust the tone break
and have a rough idea of the target before dogging. Also helps in unmasking
coins hiding among pull tabs.
The notch accept seems like it would be useful in locating a lost item,
assuming you had a similar item to tune the notch to.
Love my newer Tesoros but the older machines still have some nice features
that compliment the arsenal of detectors.

I like the Golden micro Max's notch width feature, but use it more to discern the signal/tone of the target hit. I don't really care much if Tesoro comes out with this feature again in a future release. What I want is the adjustable tone break featured on that Golden saber II/Pantera. Just add a knob with tone break adjust on the OUTLAW or VAQUERO keeping the manual GB and... wow, what a Tesoro that would be!

I honestly don't understand how the notch on tesoros work with the wide/narrow thing lol.
I never looked into it as I don't have any machines that have the option so I can't say what it does or if it helps lol

On my GSII the notch width is fixed. You can only adjust where the notch is located.
On the Cortes the narrow notch accepts a zinc penny and the wide notch rejects a zinc.
With the Golden uMax the narrow/wide ends the same as above but the notch can be expanded down to nickel or lower with the width control. With the notch off the width control adjusts the position of the middle tone break.

The pulse width on the Sand Shark being a PI machine is about getting more depth it drives the pulse harder. The Sand Shark works well around the 2 or 3 o clock position on the pulse width and gives great performance. The Sand Shark finds everything no discrimination at all. It gets great depth and is at home or works fantastic on Salt Water Beachs with ease. None of the issues found with a VLF detector on Salt Water Sand with the Sand Shark but you will dig.

I love my Sand Shark on Salt Water Beachs. I just wish I had more time to get to the beach areas here in California.

Happy Hunting,
Bill G
