The Tesoro Tiger Shark Metal Detector

The Tesoro Tiger Shark Metal Detector

The Tesoro company stopped making these detectors for a little over a year due to some problems with leakage. They re-introduced this detector recently to the delight of many Tesoro fans. Coils are now hardwired to the detector in order to prevent leakage. These metal detectors have always been known to be sensitive to small gold items and fine gold chains. Tesoro is also known for their lifetime warranty and fine customer service.

Product Description

The Tesoro Tiger Shark Metal Detector is a true multi function land and underwater metal detector. In the normal mode the unit works like any other metal detector. On land the Tesoro Tiger Shark can be used for coin & relic hunting as well as gold prospecting. The Tesoro Tiger Shark works well in both fresh and salt water, making it one of the most versatile detectors available. It is waterproof to 200 feet and is equipped with four controls on the outside, to fine tune your detector to handle whatever conditions you are working in.

Features

  • The Tesoro Tiger Shark is waterproof to 200′.
  • You can get this detector with either an 8″ or 10.5″ coil which is now hardwired to avoid leakage.
  • It uses 8 AA batteries which are included and has a drop in battery design that avoids lead breakage, and has a battery life of between 10-20 hours.
  • You can use silent search or adjustable audio threshold tone detection, what ever your preference is.
  • There are two mounting positions on the pole (for balance), and the control box is also hip mountable. This detector breaks down easily for transport or storage.
  • The Tesoro Tiger Shark has an Operating Frequency of 12.5 kHz. In metal detecting circles, this detector is known to be one of the only detectors able to find small gold chains

    The Fisher F4 Metal Detector

    The Fisher F4 Metal Detector

    The Fisher F4 Metal Detector has the best performance and power, and more features, than any other detector in its class. The F4 has advanced ground balancing that lets you balance the ground mineralization in your area, helping you to eliminate false signals. That means less digging of junk. The F4′s notch-control discrimination, which automatically ignores signals from pull tabs and other unwanted items, so that you can hunt in high-trash areas, as well as highly-mineralized soils. The F4 is a great mid-range priced detector.

    Fisher F4 Metal Detector

    The F4 helps you identify your target with an 11-segment visual target ID that lets you differentiate trash from treasure,
    4-tone audio ID uses different sounds to let you know the kind of metal you’re over, and 2-digit numeric target ID with a 0-99 range displays probable metal type as well.
    The F4 has an easy-to-read LCD screen with menu-driven user interface. It’s 2-digit display shows target ID number or depth; while the target categories show on top. The depth meter gives you an idea of target depth while detector is moving.

    Controls
    Discrimination lets your machine ignore ground mineralization & high-trash areas.
    Notch control lets you ignore selected trash target categories, like foil or pull tabs.
    Sensitivity controls adjust for soil mineralization & electronic interference.
    Pinpoint with numeric depth tells you where the target is & how deep to dig.
    Ground balancing lets you match your detector to soil conditions for easier hunting.
    All-metal auto-tune button gives you automatic ground-balance & maximum depth in good conditions.

    Capabilities
    Automatically saves your settings; when you turn it back on, get started without adjusting all over again
    Fast target response lets you swing your coil quickly & cover more ground
    Excellent sensitivity; detects down to 8″ deep
    Ergonomics: super-light detector with top-of-the-line balance makes it easy to spend the day outdoors

    The Garrett AT Pro Metal Detector

    The Garrett AT Pro Metal Detector

    The Garrett AT Pro is the metal detector that everyone on the forums is talking about. It was recently released onto the market and has been getting good reviews. It is truly a hybrid detector for land or water use. The thing that makes this different from other water metal detectors is the meter display. Most water detectors don’t have them. Another feature I like is the three tone identification system that lets you know if you’re over junk, or something good like coins or jewelry. Saves on a lot of digging!

    ATPro
