1st Gen. Lobo Metal Detector Info or Reviews

[tbell4444]

I just purchased a new 1st Gen Tesoro Lobo metal detector. Tesoro stoped making them in 1996, now they making the Lobo Super TRAQ. I didn't have enough money for a new one, I got this one for $275 on Craiglist. Is it a good machine for gold nugget hunting in the Mojave Desert? Any info will be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Ted

Should be fine. Main difference between that and the super trac is a higher frequency (good for prospecting) and the lack of auto ground tracking, but the manual ground adjustment should be fine as long as it is checked regularly.

I don't suggest new comers buy any detector used because it might not run right and you wouldn't know it and waste hours trying to learn something that isn't consistent.
