On a sunny morning one man makes the find of a lifetime while pursuing his favorite hobby of metal detecting.
Every metal detectorist dreams of finding silver, gold or platinum. Some metal detecting addicts are looking for that lost rare coin, others are looking for some dropped piece of jewelry that wasn’t noticed missing until you arrived home and some metal detecting addicts are just out for fun! Either way we always find something. Sometimes it’s valuable and sometimes it’s not.
North Yorkshire, England
While metal detecting just above a flood plain with his Tesoro Lobo Supertrack metal detector “Tyre Junkie” gets a signal in his headphones. He looks down at the old crumbled earth where the signal originated and notices a shiny gold object. ( Now every metal detectorist gets excited seeing that color, it’s what we as metal detecting addicts live for!) Half buried in the earth like some prehistoric fossil this 13 or 14th century treasure winks in the sunlight.
This lost piece of medieval jewelry has been waiting patiently in the earth for someone to come along and claim it!
Get yourself a Tesoro lobo Supertrack and see what you can dig up!
If you want to find some buried treasure at the beach, then you need a good Beach Metal Detector. The Tesoro Sand Shark is more than that it is a Great Beach Metal Detector.
Underwater Metal detectors are not cheap but they will pay for themselves very quickly especially if you enjoy the hobby of metal detecting. I wanted a water proof metal detector. I wanted one that would work in salt water with no problems and I did not want to spend $1000 or more. The Tesoro Sand Shark was my choice and I am glad I got it. I can’t say anything bad about this metal detector. It is easy to use and lightweight. It will make you work for your treasure as it goes very deep! I have found a pair of sunglasses buried over two feet deep and a pocket knife even deeper! Basicly if it’s metal and it is under your search coil, the Tesoro Sand Shark will find it.
The sand shark takes 8 AA batteries and they will last a very long time, incredibly long. That is a very good strong point. No one wants to buy batteries every week! It is very simple to use. It has two modes of operation. Normal Mode and VCO Mode. In normal mode the metal detector gets louder as the target gets closer to the search coil. I love the VCO mode. VCO stands for Voltage Controlled Oscillator. What????? It’s very simple, in vco mode the pitch changes as you get closer to a target. The closer the target the higher the pitch, this makes it very easy to pinpoint your target. You can change the starting pitch to your liking.
The Tesoro Sand Shark is a PI or pulse induction metal detector. It has no discrimination. Some people see this as a bad thing. I can tell you from my own experience, if you are using discrimination on your metal detector then you are missing gold and platinum. If you don’t know what discrimination means in metal detecting lingo, it’s quite simple. Some metal detectors will ignore certain trash items like bottle tops and pull tabs and you might be thinking well I don’t want to dig those up anyways. I did a test with another metal detector in discrimination mode. I have a large platinum ring that I found with the sand shark. The Sand Shark goes nuts over the platinum ring, guess what the other metal detector in discrimination mode did.. Absolutely Nothing. It would not detect that platinum ring in discrimination mode. If you want to pass up gold or platinum then by all means go ahead, that means there will be more for me!
In two short weeks my Tesoro Sand Shark has paid for itself. Yes I have found loads of bobby pins and other trash, hell I even found a street sign waist deep in the ocean, but I have also found loads of change! I know your saying big deal you found some loose change. That loose change adds up very quickly. In these two short weeks I have also found 1 gold Ring, 1 one silver ring and a huge platinum ring that is worth more than the Tesoro Sand Shark, all of this in just under two weeks. Some might think…. ahh that’s just luck. Nope it’s a great machine. I almost forgot one of the best selling points. It comes with a LIFETIME WARRANTY! THERE IS NO OTHER That does that! The Tesoro Sand Shark. Get one here!
