Troy Shadow x2 Metal Detector - Is The Discrimination Any Good?
I managed to get a Troy Shadow X2 metal detector in really good condition, these were actually built by Tesoro. I'm just performing my usual unmasking demos to get a rough idea on how well the machine will cope hunting in iron. I change between the stock coil and a Tesoro branded concentric coil to see if there's a difference in performance.

Is The Tesoro Silver Sabre Obsolete?
Переглядів 25014 годин тому
Despite what some loud mouths say, no Tesoro machine is obsolete and through thousands of hours hunting with both digital and analog I can say wholeheartedly that the discrimination on Tesoro machines trump any of the digital detectors out there.

Introducing The Original Tesoro Silver Sabre
Переглядів 15517 годин тому
I managed to find an original Tesoro Silver Sabre in near perfect condition, I've been after one for ages. In this short video I demonstrate the reason why I value this machine for iron loaded terrain. It came with a 7 inch concentric coil that's going to unmask better than the 4' inch I'm using in this video. My Metal Detecting Blog otherworldlypossessions.blogspot.com
Hunting New Ground On The River With My Tesoro Outlaw

Analog Machines Outperform My Digital Machines On The River I Hunt

In this video I demonstrate a very simple scenario that I come across endlessly on the river Thames in London. The fact is, all my analog detectors outperform both my Equinox 800 and Nokta Legend on this environment, this isn't assumption it's fact, I hunt the river nearly everyday with a large number of machines so my views and opinions come from real world hunting, not from hiding in a test g...
Tesoro Compadre Performs Brilliantly In The Heavy Iron
Переглядів 27814 днів тому
Taking into account the price of the Compadre when it was manufactured, this machine is a vicious performer amongst the heavy iron on the river. It brings into question all the machines with hundreds of settings. The Compadre has an on and off dial that doubles up as discrimination, that's all.

How I Identify Hot Rocks On Tesoro Metal Detectors
Переглядів 16614 днів тому
This is a very quick demo on how I identify mineralised/hot rocks when swinging any one of my Tesoro metal detectors. It's the same principle as the Nexus, the machine won't lock on to hot rocks central to the coil. The signal will rebound off the perimeter of the coil and you won't be able to isolate it.

Understanding What Masked Targets Sound Like With The Deeptech Vista X
Переглядів 19014 днів тому
In this video there's lots of examples of what masked targets sound like, you only learn the audio of a detector out hunting digging targets. The Vista X performs very well on the river where iron is nearly always in close proximity to non-ferrous targets. In challenging environments it doesn't matter what machine you're swinging if you haven't learnt what it's telling you. My Metal Detecting B...

Can You Trust The Discrimination On The Nexus Standard MP V2?
Переглядів 23221 день тому
YES - you can trust the discrimination on the Nexus Standard MP V2, you can trust the discrimination on all Nexus machines. Those that claim you can't either haven't used them or didn't learn how to operate them correctly. I dug loads more targets than what I included in the video and the machine was correct every time.

Nexus Standard MP V3 - Audio, Meter & Target Orientation
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
Yes I agree 100%
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.
I think I'm lucky with this machine because both coils are really stable, I'm going to try it out with my little 4' Tesoro coil as well
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.
Thanks for sharing I'm really looking forward to using this machine on the river, the Tesoro coil has a slight edge compared to the super 7 in this demonstration but I can't say 100% until I've hunted with both of them on the same terrain
My Metal Detecting Blog otherworldlypossessions.blogspot.com
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?
Hi David I have no experience with the Cortez or the Deleon but you really can't go wrong with the Outlaw it's a fantastic machine. Get out there and start swinging it 👍🏻
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?
Hi Tim that's a fantastic machine, it has the frequency switch on it this enables the machine to run at 10.6 kHz, 10.4 kHz, 10.2 kHz depending on where the switch is. For $10 that's on hell of a detector you managed to pick up
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
It's a great machine in the iron, I'm looking forward to using it
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 Chris that's a wicked machine you have with the uMax, never underestimated the older machines
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.
Hi John Yes I agree with you, I live in more of an industrial part of London so the finds reflect that on the parts of the Thames that I hunt, I plan to head up into the centre of the city a lot more, that's where you stand a really good chance at finding treasure, that's awesome about your Grandad, Belgium, France and Germany, that's pretty dam impressive
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 👍🏻
😂 it's true though, so much bollocks is spouted with the new tech machines
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.
Exactly That
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 .
They're both great machines, it really is sad Tesoro aren't around anymore
A 41 year old detector should be an interesting sniff for Eric.
The poor little dogs face was a picture of sorrow, as if to say oh god he's got them out again lol
@@rogermetcalf37 😂 he actually loves testing machines and gets really excited about it
@@paulwarrenmetaldetecting I'm not sure if he snook off for a poo to show his enthusiasm lol
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
Hi Roger yes I agree with you, I started with the Fisher 1265x and as great as it was, it was terrible in regards to deeper iron, now don't get me wrong, I love trying to dig the really deep stuff 'if it's there to be found', but that's what I use Nexus for, it's all about using the right tool for the job, one machine can't do it all, well it can but not to a very high level.
@@paulwarrenmetaldetecting the fisher 1265x was greatly advertised but i found it wasnt as good as my whites classic 111 plus with 9.5'' blue max coil, a cheaper machine

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.
Hi John yes I love the audio on all my Tesoro machines, the Silver Sabre audio is similar to the Eldorado just without so much bottom end because the casing is smaller
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.
Nice, people underestimate these machines
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'm really liking the Silver Sabre a lot
@@paulwarrenmetaldetecting have the bandido 2 big box But the box is shorter and uses less batteries only lobo and golden sable use more batteries more premium machines
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
Wow that's an awesome collection 👌 the small coil in my video is 4' it's great for heavy iron on the river
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?
I have used the GM7 you can't go wrong with any Golden Mask they're great machines
I've had a GM7 for a few months now and am very pleased with it. Recently bought the 5 x 7 inch sniper coil but only had chance to test it in the garden so far, where it winkled out a few coins amongst trash that bigger coils had missed.

Don't confuse audio only metal detectors with analog detectors
I don't, I happen to think the best audio detectors are analog
The Outlaw is a great machine. Nice to see it action.
Yup I really like using it
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?
Not he X5 but I do have an X2 coming 😃
I can't wait to see a video on the X2. I've never used one, although I do have an X5. Nice hunt with the Outlaw! Nothing is more fun to run than a Tesoro.
One of my first coins I ever found was a cartwheel a long time ago haven't found one since.
I'm yet to find one in really good condition

still loving my Vaquero in 2024 :)
Glad to hear it 🥳
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
Yes I have see the smart pulse, looks interesting, the key to the Vista X is to not run it hot so keep the gain and threshold at sensible levels
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.
Yes, Flaming Bomb of an Ordinance Officer.
Thanks for identifying it ✌🏻
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....

A Vista X type that can handle salt water, and can be submerged up to 10 feet ,would be Killer
Yes I agree that would be awesome
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 👍
Hi Paul thanks for stopping by 👌
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!
Yes I think the audio is modulated on the Eldorado, I love the machine and will use it loads in the future
Hi Paul, What kind of analog device are you recommended. Thanks Ron
Hi Ron what type of land do you hunt? there's lots of options out there, let me know what kind of detecting you do 👍🏻
Hi Paul, Sometimes I hunt on the beaches, two or three times a year, not in the water. But most of the time in the woods, or land. 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.
Hi thanks for stopping by, I do like the audio on the Rutus Versa but I genuinely feel that it's not going to outperform my analog machines, micro processors just aren't the same as analog circuitry
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.
It's annoying that they went out of business, I think I probably would've purchased every model 😂
@@paulwarrenmetaldetecting yep. Some of the best metal detectors made. If I was a billionaire, I'd buy all their intellectual property and dyes and start the company back up again. I'd make a Vaquero or a Tejon with a five tone id.
