Tesoro Tiger Shark Underwater Metal Detector Review

I have been a metal hunter for years and over time I have learned that the absolute best place to find things is out in the water. In order to do this you are going to need a robust metal detector and after years of searching I think I have found mine. I have read hundreds of different underwater metal detector reviews including fisher metal detector reviews. While these proved ultimately fruitless, the process of looking through them has helped me to be able to write a decent underwater metal detector review.

The Tesoro Tiger Shark In Depth Underwater Metal Detector Review

The first thing I always like to look at when starting an underwater metal detector review is the specifications of the product. This way if it is not what you are looking for you will know right away. The Tiger Shark from Tesoro has an operating frequency of 12.5 kilohertz and round, open concentric search coil that is 8 inches in diameter. The audio frequency for the beeps is at two hundred and seventy hertz and is transmitted out through stereo, Piezo headphones. It weighs in at around four and a half pounds and runs on eight double A batteries. Typically these will last from 10 to 20 hours before needing to be replaced. The unit will operate in temperatures ranging from thirty to one hundred degrees Fahrenheit. It has four modes of operation – No-Motion all metal, Normal Mode, Salt Mode, and Silent Search Motion Discriminate. The maximum operable depth for the unit is 200 feet.

Fisher Gold Strike

Fisher Gold Strike

If you are looking for Fisher Gold Strike Metal Detector then you are in the right place.

My neighbor has a Fisher Gold Strike. This detector was well liked a few years ago when it first came out… then Fisher mysteriously quit manufacturing it and now only makes the Gold Bug 2.

I have heard of no one who didn’t like this detector. It looks a lot like the CZ7 with the flat surface push button controls.

This 30 kHz detector is the first Fisher to provide operators with a constant control readout. It boasts a digital LCD display, fast automatic ground balancing, two-tone ID system, advanced digital signal processing, and a 10.5” elliptical coil. Some of the other exciting features include; an automatic low battery warning, an automatic signal overload warning, F.A.C.T. (alerts the operator when the coil is not properly installed), 3 memory locations to store your favorite settings, and an LCD backlight for hunting in low-light situations.

I don’t know why Fisher discontinued this detector I was out in the feild with another $1000 gold detector I noticed the Gold$trike was much more sensitive to smaller pieces of gold and other metals, also it has the ability to reject hot rocks and detect gold underneath them where my other gold detector does not, this is almost cutting edge for its ability to detect very very small pieces of gold!! Once you learn how it behaves in black sand and how to set it up properly for mineralized soil it works very well.

Overall this is a very good prospecting detector. To bad it’s no longer made. This is a link to the manual – Gold Strike Manual

Used Metal Detectors Reviews -
Whites Coinmaster 2900D Trooper

2900D -1

This is a great little detector. This is a picture of my treasure. There was some trash dug – {one large piece of iron at 6 inches, crushed aluminum can and other large pieces of aluminum} as well as 56 cents in coins. One quarter, 3 dimes and a zinc penny. All this in around 25 minutes of very casual hunting.

Since I own one of these I thought I would give you a review of this detector. I had given this detector to my father many years ago for a Christmas present. He really did like it but it wasn’t used a lot. Retirement seemed to keep he and mom traveling in their Rv with little time to use his detector.

The 2900 D as for as I can tell is the same as the 3000D less the meter. I belive White’s calls it a 2900 S3

This past weekend the weather was damp and hot here on the gulf coast of Texas but cooler than it had been in quite sometime so I was thinking about dad and decided me and the 2900D should get reacquainted again.

The 2900 is dead simple to operate. It has 4 control knobs. Each control knob has a (P) Preset marking. Just turn on set and go basically. The four knobs are Tune (sensitivity) , ground balance, discrimination, and a combination volume and on off switch. It uses a single 9volt battery with a low battery indicator light. There is room for a spare battery also. Few inexpensive detectors have a manual ground balance which can come in very handy in some parts of the country. Although the change in volume and sound can help determine whether the target is good or bad it is not as good as say a Tesoro. Using iron discrimination only I have found it to be very good at ignoring small iron and pick up a nickel close by. Some detectors have problems with this.

It also has a Retune button located on the end of the handle. This will retune the detector after changing settings and can also be used to help with pinpointing.

This is another simple inexpensive detector from the early 1980’s that will find just as much or more as a new $500.00 detector. The only difference is you will have to set the discrimination low to keep from loosing rings and nickels and dig more trash. But that’s mostly true with a $500.00 detector also.

You can see the instruction manual here: 2900 D S3 http://media.whiteselectronics.com/manuals/Coinmaster%20Manuals/CM%202900%20S3%20Instruction%20Manual.pdf

Whites metal detectors are known for their performance and quality. I have a number of detectors. I bought my dad a whites as a Christmas gift many years ago and he’s passed on now but the detector which was his and I now use works just like when it was new.

There are many models of White metal detectors to choose from and picking the right one for your application can seem like a daunting task.  I am going to take a brief look at the different kinds of white metal detector so that you can choose the right one for your project.

A Quick Look At The White Metal Detector Line

There are four main types of White metal detectors each with their own special purpose.  Some White metal detector dealers only sell certain models so be sure to ask them if they have your specific White metal detector in their catalog before you go there.  First things first let’s break down the four types of White metal detectors so that you can have a better idea of which one to look for.

A Brief Look At The White Metal Detector Line Up

There are four main types of White metal detectors each with their own special purpose. Some White metal detector dealers only sell certain models so be sure to ask them if they have your specific White metal detector in their catalog before you go there. First things first let’s break down the four types of White metal detectors so that you can have a better idea of which one to look for.

The first type is the E Series. This series of metal detector is designed for the professional treasure hunter operating in a variety of areas. It works well on beaches but is truly at its best out in the forest. This rugged line has several models that all have different features and benefits, but regardless of which one you look at they are all professional grade detectors that can function in a variety of different environments.

The next group is the Prizm series. This series of metal detectors is designed for the budget conscious treasure hunter. Each of these products are extremely easy to use and reliable and all come only with the features you need to do basic treasure hunting. If you are looking for a great entry level metal detector the White metal detectors in this series are the ones for you.

After the Prizm series the next White metal detector to take a look at is the Beach Series. These products are professional grade metal detectors that are meant to be used on the beach. They all are waterproof enough to be used in the surf and are highly resistant to salt. These products can work in the worst of beach conditions including black sand. Beach and surf metal has a new deeper layer of hunting with this line of products.

The last White metal detector to take a look at is the specialty detectors. These detectors are a collection of specialty detectors and single item products. Included in here are detectors for bounty hunters and other law enforcement professionals. These White metal detectors are built to the highest standards.

used-metal-detectors-reviews Why Buy A Used Whites Metal Detector?
 
 
Thursday, October 1st, 2009

I have used metal detectors for some years and needed a backup when I purchased this used metal detector off Ebay. I was pleased to find that with a little work it performs nearly as well as my main detector that cost in excess of $900. The specs given with the product are understated as the unit performs better than that in most situations. Perhaps the maker was honest enough to quote specs at the lowest possible end to allow for manufacturing variability. Either way, it is a keeper.

Have you ever fantasized about finding buried treasure in your backyard, on the beach or while just walking down the road? How do we really know what’s buried beneath our feet? What if there’s riches underneath us right now? There’s only one way to find out. First, you should learn how to use a metal detector. That’s right. Metal detectors are a great way to uncover that which we cannot see. You really don’t know what you’ll find until you begin looking. You just have to get your hands on a metal detector. There’s no reason, though, to spend a lot of money on one. You can always get a used metal detector; until you become accustomed to using one, and hopefully after you’ve already found a good amount of buried treasure.

If your new to metal detecting starting off with a used detector can save you a lot of money or it can cause you a lot of headaches. Stick to a name brand detector Fisher, Whites, Tesoro, Bounty Hunter or Garrett. You can find lots of free helpful advice online for these models.

Best Used Metal Detector Sources

One way to go about getting a good used metal detector is at a pawn shop. Pawn shops are notorious for having these sorts of items. It should only take a few minutes to call around to the various pawn shops in your area to see if they have used metal detectors. If you can’t find them at the local pawn shops, try the internet. There are many online resources you can try to find used metal detectors. You can try free classified ad sites such as Craigslist.org, you can try Ebay, or any of the other online auction sites. Once you get your hands on a used metal detector, you just have to become proficient in using one and then you can get to hunting.

Iron discrimination method with Baracuda PI metal detector. Depending on the sweep speed, you can produce a double beep on iron objects. This behavior is enhanced by swinging the coil parallel to the longest dimension of the iron target. The three targets at the top are a nail, fender washer and a block of steel. Bottom targets are a brass rod, lead bullet and a coin.
