I love my little Tiger-Shark in the fresh water. With the control box mounted under the arm it swings easy. I wish it had the sens control on the front, but I can live with it as is. One of the best freshwater units going - and you can't beat the warranty.
Mine has crapped out lately after more than a few years, and now needs to go back to the factory. I called them and got the recording, since it was still early, their time. I got a call later from some guy named James Gifford* and we had a nice chat. After I told him what it was doing, he said to send it in and they'd fix it up, tweak and peak it and add the new coil mounting bolts - no charge, as it has that Lifetime Warranty on the unit.
"Sweeeet," I said. I hope it doesnt take too long....
* James Gifford is the son of Tesoro founder Jack Gifford, who has retired. James currently heads the Tesoro organization with his brother Vince. Did you catch that? The head of the company called me about my problem with one of their products! Thats' service. As long as Ive used Garrett detectors, Ive yet to have Charles Garrett return one of my calls....
