There's really not much to say on the negative side apart from the battery system. A nine volt PP3 does save on weight but to get the best out of the machine it needs a quality battery and even then many replace them way before the battery is fully discharged. Gary at one time did a modification with the AA battery pack under the armrest for many Tesoro/Laser's.

Three part stem means it packs up small so excellent for air travel. Excellent iron discrimination as with most Tesoro's. Depth is not bad but its not a Tejon. Interesting thing is that when we had the drought its performance didn't drop off at the rate of many other machines.

I don't know what coil the one you tried had but the "Plus" version with its 9 x 8 coil gives you extra depth without totally ruining the balance and one of the U.K. dealers has these reduced at the moment.

Laser Rapier had a brief run as Private Buckheit in "Criminal Minds" season 3, but the writers could never develop the character and he was written out of the show in season 4. Since then he was worked mostly Broadway.

Here you go Jimmy, a quick review by a fellow Brit.

Laser Rapier Field Test

The Laser Rapier is very much like the original Tesoro Silver Sabre plus, although this machine is powered by a 9 volt battery which is reported to give 16 hours of use, for optimum performance we have found it must be changed after 8 hours or less.

The machine is very light and strips down into three parts so it can be carried in a small rucksack,as with most modern Tesoros. A simple turn on and go set up with a pin point button which is hardly ever required. The audio response on the Laser Rapier is sharp and honest even on very small targets. Depth is good but not earth shattering these machines work very well on loose dry soil where many other machines fail this is the last of Tesoro- Lasers analogue machines.

Rate 8/10

Like's
Lightweight
Good value for money
Excellent after sales service
(Pentechnic)
Honest little machine for all ages
Fantastic for finding small coins amoungst Iron
Easy to learn

Dislikes
Can be fooled by deep Iron when searching on pasture
Not happy with 9Volt battery system

Looks like a Conquistador to me. I had the Conquistador I bought used and had to send it in for repairs. Tesoro refurbished the coil and tuned the detector to the coil, when I got it back it was the deepest hitting Tesoro I have owned sor far.
