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 Tesoro Cortes Metal Detector

    The Tesoro Cortes Metal Detector

    Product Features

    Made in USA – Lifetime Warranty
    Microprocessor Technology – LCD Display
    Target Identification – MicroMax Design
    9 x 8″ Coil – Interchangeable Coils
    Built-in Mineral Rejection
    Tesoro Cortes

    Product Description

    The Tesoro Cortés 2×16 character LCD display will catch your eye as well. This area is the information center of the detector. The top row is an alpha/numeric display that gives a broad indication of your possible target.

    The Tesoro Cortés metal detector uses the phase shift of the target to determine the probable target and then looks at the amplitude of the signal to determine the depth. For example: a nickel and a quarter are in the ground and the quarter is deeper than the nickel; if we just went off of amplitude change, the detector may read the two targets as being the same depth.

    However, the Tesoro Cortés would show the quarter as being deeper because its phase shift response is different than that of the nickel. The Tesoro Cortés fits metal detector into a package that weighs just less than three pounds.
