None of those reviews were enough to save the company so it really doesn't matter..

well from what ive seen it looks as if the last 2 tesoro detectors he has used are defective.. the last one could not pick up a silver coin and this one needs disc ran up to foil to eliminate nails.. i used tesoro in the past and liked them. but the newer detectors do so much more and really there is no reason to go backwards.. if the guys here that are defending tesoro against calabash should

Great video. I used all of the tesoro detectors for years . I could easily tell a pulltab from a gold ring. I just dug it, looked at it, if a gold ring I raised my fist in achievement and screamed.. but if it was a pulltab I just tossed in the mostly full 5 gallon bucket with all the other pull tabs. I did dig some great finds with tesoro detectors, but I did dig alot... Lol

Looks good to me.. he is in 3 tone which I believe is the fast mode so not as deep.. but it looked good. Plenty enough tone to dig.

Steve as much as I love your lower rods I would love to try you full shaft.. I use a carbon one piece shaft now from plugger and love it.. however if you made one with a deus like shaft for easy transport then I'm in..

Drawbacks are alot of your other detectors will sit unused. The equinox is a really good detector. Super easy to use and everyone said everything else. I still use my deus in really thick iron but I have found lowering my sensitivity makes the nox compete fairly well . In modern trash I feel it does very well.. it finds alot of amazing finds. Tones are the best ..

Hi. On the new anfibio ..what is the measurement from bottom back of grip where your palm goes to the coil bolt? I'm tall and since this has a different shaft setup I was hoping it might be long enough. Thanks

Coins on edge will throw the signal off a few inches. I'm thinking it throws it off enough to signal on it.. most on edge coins I've dug have pinpointed off to one side.

Well I'm thinking xp would not have just made a coil with one more frequency for a reason.. I think an update down the road will be the ability to run all 5 frequencies simultaneously.

I have I few areas that mine goes nuts with sensitivity over 15. I use the Deus in those places. The one park does have some power lines overhead but the other places do not. Not sure what is going on. I've tried single frequency, it helps some but still chirpy. I've dug 4-5 inch memorial pennies that rang up 38.. it's a good detector but has it's quirks

Damn nice hunt! Kicking butt. I was just there in Conway last week for 10 days and weather was pretty decent and not too hot. Will be heating up soon though. Congratulations on amazing finds

Yes now I do that also. Not sure why I did not remember to do that as I did this same thing with my Xterra 705.. works good. Now it interferes badly with my Deus! Turn on and they both go nuts.

How high was your sensitivity? I run mine at 23 today on 3 recovery (600) and iron bias 1 and was digging 8 inch wheat pennies with good signals. Very impressive great video

Yes I do realize that. I was stating the obvious. I've seen many of his deck board vids and many machines easily find those on edge coins. Lay one of those nails flat and very high chance coins disappear.. just saying. I have a nox and have owned damn near every detector and can say with certainty that the nox is the real deal.

I've seen that video before. Nails are not lying flat . Much easier to pick things from nails straight up and down. Even besides all of that no way could I listen to that noise very long.. and the max and gold are worse .. they need iron volume really bad and that would help so much.

Shoveler if he did not show vids and just typed up a summary then everyone would complain that he made it all up.. just don't watch it or watch the last few minutes. For Pete's sake it's only a few minutes.. obviously you ARE very interested in HIS conclusion that we all know takes alot of time to do, and we all appreciate by the way, then just take a few minutes and listen to it

Iron audio on the ATPro was mild compared to the headache making noise that came from the max. It was equal to eating Tide pods. Neither makes any sense to your health. BUT it isn't wrong to use iron audio on the AT machines, just keep a good therapist on the payroll. If your keeping your disc up, and iron audio off for any length of time when do you know your over a bed of iron to even tu

I have a fix so there will be no feedback or emi between the two detectors... Calabash can send me the nox 800. Problem solved. Your welcome . You already have my address I just received your coil.

I looked at the video as how a person will hunt in the wild.. pick a frequency on the deus a and go... Maybe next time at that location change frequencies. Some things may get missed..if the deus missed those targets imagine the long list of detectors that also would.. the multifrequency nox is already on the correct frequency. I have a section of my yard that I've literally hunted to death

I sold all of my detectors over the last few years.. getting rid of the heaviest and most battery draining models .. down to 2 light weight one's now, my deus and nox 600. For my needs these two should be fine for a while.

I tried it.. it was ok I guess. I'm tall and it was too short for me and they have no plans on making any tall man rods for it.. screen is still very delicate and scratches super easy. Very well made overall. I was not blown away by it at all.. I weighed it with my postal scales with the external battery attached and it was 3.9lbs. Loved the grip. Oh almost forgot, volume on lowest setting
