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.

Used Metal Detectors Reviews -
Whites Coinmaster 2900D Trooper

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.
