White's then introduced the Classic series in the SL (slim-line) housings and using the 8-AA battery tray, and the Classic III SL was basically the Classic III Plus and it used the Blue Max series of search coils. set-up for the times I wanted to hunt in an all metal accept Discriminate mode setting. I liked that model because I really liked that 6½" Concentric search coil, and the Classic III Plus also provided a true 'zero' Disc. I didn't care for the3-9V battery system a lot, but t worked.Īs soon as the White's Coinmaster Classic III Plus was introduced, it became a regular-use model in my detector arsenal because it was designed to use the 'Blue Max' series of search coils, and I quickly mounted the Blue Max 600 coil and put it to work in both urban playgrounds or renovation sites, and all the ghost towns and homesteads and the like in rural, out-of-the- way locations. It had the 8" coil and I preferred something smaller, but I worked pretty well. While I had tinkered with the Coinmaster Classic models from White's at a dealer friends shop, it wasn't until Memorial Day Weekend of '94 when some folks showed up at the southern Utah ghost town of Frisco and wanted some help that I got to use a Coinmaster Classic in one of my challenging sites. They hadn't, at that time, erred in marketing ad had a good dealer base and. It made it difficult for them to establish a dealer base, and the few existing dealers quickly dropped off as those two brads went under, and soon Pillar and GMT dwindled away to nothing, but the Tesoro's kept on working well for me. While I used the 4-Reale and GMT 1650 for a few years, I stuck with the Tesoro's the most because Pillar and Gold Mountain Technologies had made a terrible marketing flaw which meant they were basically doomed. And the enhanced lower-end Discrimination adjustment get more good targets in iron trash because the minimum adjustment was closer to iron nail rejection rather than being a more bold rejection setting. I liked the Tesoro assortment of search coils.

I liked the manual control, as well as balance/feel.

I used the latter model the most from GMT, and the 4-Reale of Pillar, because they provided more manual control, such as Ground Balance, but in '90 Tesoro introduced the first Bandido which also brought us their ED-120 Discriminate circuitry. level, thus accepting all metal targets, if desired. They did have the Cobra or GMT-1650, same internal electronics and control features, which was a versatile detector with a very broad-range Discrimination adjustment that adjusted down to provide a true 'zero' Disc. Thus, performance in iron nails was almost identical with the Tesoro's. The other line was Gold Mountain Technologies, who basically copied (too closely) the Tesoro circuitry. They were made by Tesoro for that private label and, obviously, worked like the Tesoro. One was 'Pillar', which was only two models, the 1Reale and 4 Reale which were virtual copies of the Silver Sabre and early 'original' Eldorado, in that order. Those earlier Tesoro's had the more limited, pre-ED120 Discrimination range, but worked okay in and around all of the nails and other smaller iron, especially related to some of the western USA railroad towns and sidings, etc.Ībout '88/'89 we had two 'brands' produce similar-performing detectors. In more recent yeas I have also used the 5¾", both sizes of Concentric design. In '83, and from then forward, I used a Tesoro that I trusted and most often with a 7" coil mounted.

Iron, specifically nails, are my #1 foe when I hunt anywhere! Thirty years ago, in 1983, Tesoro introduced the Inca and it caught my attention immediately because it used a motion Discriminate mode (VLF-Disc.) to help ignore the ground signal, and the excellent slow-sweep (2-filter design) with quick-response and fast-recovery worked great in trashier sites, and it was very quiet in the ferrous-based trash. model in uneven ground, however, posed a challenge to try ad maintain a uniform coil-to-ground relationship. units are true-progressive Discriminators, and the higher frequency they operated at, ☑00 kHz, helped them just ignore many/most iron nails. Prior to 1983 the better detectors I had for working nail infested sites were some of the good TR-Disc. Monte: In past posts you've indicated that the IDX Pro and your Tesoros are your machines of choice for hunting in iron-infested locations.Let me break down number of favorites, over the past 30 years, for hunting in iron infested sites, especially those with a dense amount of iron nails.
