Hi Paul, Yes Troy had Tesoro to make the X2 for him. But he engineered the higher end model himself which was the X5/X7 I think. I had a conversation with him when I was still selling metal detectors. He told me what he invested developing them and I was shocked at the cost he put into the detectors. I'm sorry that he didn't apparently make it, could have provided jobs you reckon?

Пишу комментарий из Беларуси. Жаль, что не знаю английский. У меня есть Troy X5, но и X2 очень классный прибор, мне он понравился. На какой частоте он работает? Жалко, что нельзя свободно купить к этим приборам катушки.

Flippin' 'eck! Another blast from the past. I saw an X5 (Vaqu/Trident2) for sale not long ago. It was soon snapped up. 🤔I wonder: seeing as how Troys are black stemmed, do they have a wider iron disc band than their US equivalents? Reason: Never owned a Troy, but my black-stemmed Tejon and Euro Sabre 2 had wider Fe disc than their US grey-stem counterparts, as 'we lot' on this side of the pond, mostly have an antipathy toward iron. The ES2 actually had an iron tone "gronk" option. Good luck with it Paul. I hope that it serves you well and proves pleasant to use.

People ask why I have 11 different tesoros. You hit the nail on the head. They have their specific uses.

None of the tesoros are obsolete as long as they either have GB or they haven't degraded in their components throwing the analog circuits off. I still grab tesoros 80% of the time just can't beat it. Analog doesn't lose anything. Lol like records over digital music. Haha

That precision 7 should be the closest match for that detector to the stock one but maybe either it was factory set with different size coil or the insides have aged and their tolerances changed in time.

Oooo I always wanted one of these. The super 7 coil is awesome. So I found out when I got one (just coil) and sent it in with my DeLeon because it has to be factory set for coil (no GB in disc) which you can use a bit bigger or smaller but wanted to set with that coil. That coil looks just like the Mojave thin 7" "precision" coil however I found out that the Troy coil does have different windings and since I sent it in with the DeLeon they said it had leakage so they rewound the coil for me to make it brand new. Haha when it was "broken" it was one of my favorites. Now it's by far my favorite. Troy contracted tesoro to make their shadow x2 detector. But tesoros agreement said they can't sell the super 7 or super 9 coils with their windings. So the Troy shadow x2 and both the coils that fit are not the same as any other tesoros. The price for the detector stopped me. Don't get me wrong the precision 7 it's almost on par but they are different. That super 7 and the DeLeon makes the best coin shooter I've ever had. The analog/digital mix in the DeLeon they really got the nail on the head. I call them "probability graphs" on the display. The design is magnificent keeping it analog while only part of the signal goes to the processor to covert to digital for the graphs. And the more you swipe over the more "nailed down" the results get. It has all the tesoro disc analog circuit but the added digital processing shielded and totally only used for screen only. And every number on the side of the bars is always spot on for coins. As an all purpose it may throw you off but if you want to pick every dang coin out (USA) you can easily. Set the disc to only take out nails and the graphs bars tell you the rest. Anyway I have no experience with the Troy shadow x2 but the super 7 coil matched with the DeLeon let's me literally walk into a place and only pick out all the coins. I love it. And I use others after for the real hunt.

Thankyou Paul for your Tesoro videos. I've been trying to buy some since they went out ot business. I did acquire an Outlaw.. but I was wondering about the "Cortez" and the "DeLeon". Would you know if they perform like the Sabre or Oulaw?

I'm pretty new at metal detecting but I have a tesoro conquistador that is brand new. I got it for $10 at a thrift store and has never been used. Is that a good machine?

I have seen the Silver Sabre find many hammered coins on highly iron covered sites when no other machine could. The original was far better than the MKII

I have had a Silver uMax for 20+ years. Just got back into the hobby after a long hiatus. Purchased a Minelab Nox 900. Tesoros are still worth their weight in gold.

Hi Paul, I was going to tell you I would search locations that could be high traffic areas and i would find mostly silver dimes grouped together. Also my Grandad fought in WWI and I wear his dog tags in his honor. I knew him quite well when I was a kid. He was in France, Belgium, and Germany.

Seeing is believing! Even Eric was impressed with that unmasking demonstration. I’ve said it before I’ll say it again. Thanks to you and these demonstrations using analog machines has opened up extremely iron polluted sites to me that I could never hunt before. I probably shouldn’t give that away. 😮. Thanks Paul! 🤘👍👍😎

Harmonic Wankery hahaha love that saying Paul 👍🏻

Very true thats why l own a couple of analogue machines myself!

No, not obsolete. Instead, perhaps an iconic veteran, that is still viable for use in certain scenarios.

Hi Paul I run Tesoro Lobo and Laser Trident 2 and a Minelab sov gt for the grass , you are 100% right about the performance of older machines , i will not be using anything else . cheers Rob.

Hi Paul I run Tesoro Lobo and Laser trident 2 and Minelab sov gt for the grassland and will not be changing anytime soon , you are 100 % right about the old machines pal its a tragedy Tesoro / laser gone from production .

A 41 year old detector should be an interesting sniff for Eric.

Joan Allen used to have an advert in the hobby magazines saying ''If depth is the name of the game then the fisher 1266x is the true winner'' but of course it wasnt always unless you enjoyed filling your finds pouch up with rusty crap. this obsession with depth killed tesoro I think

Ha! A blast from the past. I bought one many moons ago. Needed looking at. Problem with battery wiring. Dave sorted it . Bought a set of his green Pen T headphones at the same time. The SS1 is an ok machine within it's limitations. If you ever manage to get a well looked after UK black stem Tj, I think you'll be pleased. Dave put the UK Pro FGB option on mine, for evil dirt. It made some difference. A Tj with the 5"DD is ok, but I had more success with the 5/10 SWEDD using the tip of the coil for winkling. Finding such a machine isn't easy now, I'd hazzard to guess. Frank Mellish imported Tesoros back then (Treasure World UK). Dunno if he's still about? He was proper sound to deal with. I still have an immaculate, original Black, unworn, Tesoro Base Ball Cap from Frank. Flippin 'eck that'd be a hard to get item too, i'd imagine. Nice nostalgic Tesoro momento. Good memories are seldom forgotten.

Hi Paul you can't beat the sweet spot audio on them Tesoro's. i just melt when you get that certain tone on a target.

That was my first decent machine in the 80s, found quote a bit with it down to tiny hammereds! I still have it and should give it an outing soon. I have the original polo coil and a 'widescan' DD.

Looks like an excellent machine!! Can’t wait to see it performing on the river!! Cheers

The golden sable 2 Is the best Tesoro I have ever used Own like 10 different models

I think that's the 5.75 concentric. Great little coil. I own 11 tesoro machines lol. Cibola (modded with GB before I got vaquero), vaquero, tejon, DeLeon tuned to a Troy super 7" coil befor they closed, outlaw, bandido II umax, Cutlass umax 11khz, 2 mojave, and one each of the compadre the 8" and 5.75 both hardwired. I do love the older ones like you have and the first gen of the umax design with the higher tone. All great machines all performing very well

I've been quite interested in analog machines for a while. I have been watching for a golden mask analog machine to show up on ebay. The other day I stumbled across a golden mask 7. I bought it! From what I understand these are mostly analog. Do you have any experience with them? If so what are your thoughts?

Don't confuse audio only metal detectors with analog detectors

The Outlaw is a great machine. Nice to see it action.

That thick copper disc reminded me of a big old blazed-out early sestertius. Hoping I guess. Not the terrain for the "Victor Meldrew" crew. Stark reality of hard-core detecting.

Поиск на реке с Tesoro это двойное удовольствие ) А приходилось ли вам когда-нибудь пользоваться Troy Shadow X5?

One of my first coins I ever found was a cartwheel a long time ago haven't found one since.

still loving my Vaquero in 2024 :)

Hey Paul how you doing ? Nice video again I've been having fun together with you. I have this Vista X with the standard coil not very comfortable but I like analogs like you. This little coil sound pretty cool I got to get one of it. Did you see a new Bulgarian Metal detector it's. AKA SMART PULS HIBRID ? It's a pulse induction and vlf with pretty good depth and discrimination

Your blog you reference is a masterpiece. Maybe an unfortunate masterpiece in the times we live in, but nevertheless should be required reading for social media heroes (zeros) in the world. Great end to the video.

The pin looks to be a flaming bomb or flaming grenade pin. Possibly military.

One of these days I think that you will find something old and gold on your 'beat'. I hope so anyway. You sure personify relentless dedication with a specific attention to the minute details of audio nuances. 'Tis the musician in ye, I'd say.... Motivate the rythmn of life with the healing rhythmic synergy; if at all possible.

A Vista X type that can handle salt water, and can be submerged up to 10 feet ,would be Killer

Old school analogue detector fan and user here,some are paying over a grand just to mask potentially great targets,what's that all about?..each to their own i guess,love your no-nonsense approach Paul,here's another sub to inch you towards 2k 👍

Bought that same detector new back in 1987 and still have it to this day. The audio from what I was told/read was modulated on that model along with the other models from Tesoro during that era. Still certainly capable of making good finds like you proved with this video!

Hi Paul, What kind of analog device are you recommended. Thanks Ron

Hi Paul, am a Moroccan fan, I like the way you detect and your veracity, am sure Analog detector are more powerful in depth and discrimination, if you know how to use them. I would like you to test the rutus versa, I believe that it's the best digital detector in discrimination.

Do you ever use the classic III ?

Too bad Tesoro is no more. They made some great machines which I still have and use when I can. They disc. out iron just about better than any other in my opinion. They're simple to use and don't require a college course to figure out. Love the black Cibola and the Mojave; both are just turn and go detectors.
