Tesoro Mojave - First Hunt With This Detector

[tabman]

I thought that I would tryout my new detector today see how it would do. Since it should excel as a jewelry detector I headed out to a nearby park. There's about a 50 yard section of sidewalk that I've detected along the edge of several times, so this should be a good test for the Mojave. I set the discrimination just high enough to discriminate out a nail and was able to run the sensitive to its fullest without any chatter whatsoever. That's amazing because this park is loaded with EMI.

My first target's audio was kind of broken sounding, but I wanted to see what were there. I dug down and popped a clad dime. I scanned the hole again and got a good audio signal and popped a junker ring that was just a few inches way from where I received the clad dime. This dog can hunt!

I worked the whole 50 yard sidewalk section on both sides and found several pieces of jewelry and to my surprise numerous clad coins that I somehow missed before. Also I found 9 nickels. This detector loves low conductors and small targets.

After finished up detecting along the sidewalk I left went to a couple of permissions that I've detected before. I managed to find 2 Rosie dimes, 3 Wheat Pennies and a War Nickel. The 2 Rosie dimes came out of the same hole. I popped the first silver dime, I covered up the hole, but check it again with the detector and got another good audio signal, so I dug again and found the second silver dime.

I really like this detector a lot and it's going to get a lot of use. It's way better than the Silver µMax and Compadre combined.

Thanks for the review (good info about the Mojave)along with your average, ordinary, everyday finds!!

Thanks for the review. You must have tried more different machines than 99% of other detectorists. And I take notice of how many Tesoros reside in your collection, a tribute to their quality.

Congratulations on even MORE silver! I expect to see you pulling some small gold with the Mohave very soon.

I like the Tesoro brand as well. I have a 20 yr old Tesoro Bandido. No digital screen, only sound

Thank you for the review Tabman. I can only imagine how you felt finding all those cool finds, especially when you've detected there before.
