Detector(s) used
Current: Black Vaquero w 5.75" Con & 11x8 RSD, Compadre 8" Donut, T2 w 11"DD, Ace 300i w 7x10", Vanquish 440 w V10, & Simplex+ SP28.
Past: Whites 4000D Ser 3 w 8" Con, Radio Shack 3001 Micronta 18Khz.
Primary Interest:
Metal Detecting
8 inch..

I keep the 8" donut on mine most of the time, and keep a 5.75" on my Bandido II μMAX. Both detectors are the two I use most often, lately.
The three coil pack is nicely priced, but I like the concentrics best for where I hunt.

You already have the Vaquero, so why not try the 8" donut on it (4 pin version)?

Yeah could do this as an option and I have thought of this before..I absolutely love the concentrics over the DD coils I feel pinpointing is better for me, could also wait and see what Tesoro turns out next as well.

Also is this the way they come in sure like the black look on the 8" instead of the rusty looking one with still the Tesoro brand name sticker.

Maybe that's just the way it shows on their website other sites show it is black with the sticker on the coil like the 5 pin as shown.

Thanks Pinenut.

I swing the 8''concentric, but the new wide scan is good too. The Outlaw is a very good machine. I have used the other coils only a few times . Heres the thing, who else will sell you a metal dectctor with 3 coils included in the package? By getting the 3 coil package you will have all your base's covered. What if you smashed a coil in the door or some other unfortunate circumstance, where would you be? If you had the other coils you cloud swap it out a keep hunting.
HH .
 

got your coil caught in the door..?

...What if you smashed a coil in the door or some other unfortunate circumstance, where would you be?...

Don't you just hate when that happens...:tongue3:
 

How are most coils compared to Tesoro are they built fairly rugged as well or are most you have to be fairly gentle with? Are they thinly coated with a special plastic or epoxy where they require this for better penetration?
 

I use the 8" mostly but considering I have other 5 pin machines I went with the 3 coil pack. The cost of the outlaw with the 8" then buy the 5.75 let's say then the cost is close to the 3 coil pack plus you'd have to buy a separate lower rod too.
With the rods and coils the 3 coil pack is the best buy in my book especially if you have or plan to have any other 5 pin machines.
 

Outlaw + 8" donut + 15 minutes on a curb strip =

Had about 15 minutes to detect yesterday while waiting for my daughter to get ready. She's living in the Los Angeles area, renting a room in a house built in 1927. It was her birthday, and my wife & I drove down and took her to lunch.

Found this 925 ring, a couple wheaties ('37,'44) and a couple more '60s cents plus one clad quarter. 15 minutes on a curb strip, with the Outlaw, which happened to be in the car... Funny how some people don't appreciate the Outlaw, saying it doesn't perform as well as the Vaquero. While it doesn't get the Vaquero's depth, it sure isn't lacking in performance, either.

:sunny:
 

Unfortunately, depth is often over rated versus other qualities, but we all seem to use it as an important measure of a detector.

I prefer the outlaw/bandido disc circuit over everything. I have the vaquero and modded cibola and the nokta relic if I want to go really deep.
Most treasure isn't more than 6" down where j hunt and most of the time 4 or less.
I like how the outlaws disc is spread, how it reacts and just all of it.
With an RSD I'm sure it could cut deeper, but just like I found out with my nokta relic, going that deep isn't always a good thing
 

yeah..

That's what I keep telling my wife...but she just rolls her eyes and gets a goofy smile..:tongue3:
