Finding so much more with my Sand Shark! I can't imagine how much I missed before I had one.
VCO mode is my best friend. I am so glad I gave Tesoro a chance as my finds have tripled since I made the switch. This has been a great start to a new year and my shark is on top of it! VCO draws you right to the targets even at a unbelievable distance away. I hope my progress continues and I stay on the path of recovering objects daily. PI's are tuff when digging all objects but I'm really getting used to the tones now and am getting a feel for what sounds are what before I dig.
Here are a few new finds that my shark has been bringing in!

Nice finds. I use a Sand Shark myself for the last year or so. Found my first bronze ship spike a few weeks back, in an area you wouldn't expect.

Book says the SS should beep as I pass directly over the target. Doesn't happen for me. Any thoughts?

Is it in vco mode or normal -you don't have that switch on 'off' do you? Batteries are in it correctly?

Gives a good high tone on approach but no beep.
Yes, it's on and batteries are installed correctly. :)

The sound you're hearing is the 'beep' the manual speaks of. It is a gradual 'weee' sound, depending on how fast you're moving the coil, and that's after listening to the the constant mosquito-in-your-ear sound.
Too bad its not a 'beep-beep' like the Road-runner. It'd be more pleasant. Haha
