I Don't Hunt In Tests Gardens, I Prefer The Real World

A very enjoyable hunt on the river with my Tesoro Revelator, previously know as the Eldorado. I find some old coins and the usual lead and hard forged nails. I really like this machine and will be taking it up into the city with me to do some hunting in areas that should be more productive.

Hi Paul, you got to become one with what ever machine you are using. Once you do you will enjoy the hobby much much more. Oh and Paul I look frward to you doing hunts with the C-Scope machines. BRAVO! I like your little pup too.

[@paulwarrenmetaldetecting]

Exactly John that's the art in metal detecting

[@rogermetcalf37]

No one told lower frequency detectors that they cant find coins and small items, so they just find them in total ignorance

[@paulwarrenmetaldetecting]

😂 this is a very ignorant machine god dammit !!

I've never had cause to hunt in a test "garden" per se. Fk to digging all that lot up again! However, I will cofess to installing an in-soil testing area over eighteen years ago. The soil, in my hunting periphery, returns very uniform mineralisation readings. The County Coat of Arms has a Rufous back-drop, denoting it's Red Clay heritage. I dwell in the boonies (quate wural), in a house, with a garden, in a field, hedged-in around it on three sides. My in-soil test area has multi- various size non-Fe targets "encompassed" by multi- various size and "articulations" of Fe targets; at varying elevations and proximities; blahdee fkn boring blahdee...Anyroad-up: after 'such time' the soil strata has re-acclimatised itself, post my intrusions. I find it very useful for "honing and acclimatising" et al.... As for fresh-dug and stamped on, or otherwise non re-acclimatised soil strata test patches? Nah. They're of as much use as teats on a mule mare. You can suck on 'em till your arse-hole welds shut, but no real 'feed-back' won't be 'app'nin' .... in my, probably quite boring by now, opinion.

"installing Over 18 Years" isn't freshly burying shit and then trying to prove detector performance by swinging over it

I actually enjoy your content but I have to buck the trend a little here. I bought my first detector in 2013 because we found an 1840s homesite on our farm. I got a Vaquero. Fell in love with the hobby. I bought an el dorado umax and compadre as well. I hunted the same iron patch of very dense square nails and large iron farm pieces for years. Initially, like any detector in any virgin site, I found many targets with those detectors. And I dug a lot of iron too. The finds dried up. I had to dig pits to unlock more stuff. Since then I’ve used the simplex, DEUS, kruzer, t2, g2, equinox, d2, and triple score. The current offered machines by Nokta, Minelab, xp, while not without flaw, absolutely whip the dog snot out of any older tech. You have to have hunted the same spot for years and years. Grid and area and take multiple machines through it and it will be revealed. Borrow someone’s DEUS 1. Go out and locate targets that are compromised then swing your analog over it. That’s way more convincing than just hollering because ol boy made a video with fresh buried targets. Again I really enjoy your videos but are you really helping anyone by claiming obsolete or outdated machines perform better? I don’t care about gardens or tests. I do in the field comparison on 200 year old targets to make this determination.

[@rogermetcalf37]

I think the point here is that outdated doesnt mean no bloody good in certain applications, Tesoro is an old master of the thames foreshore

[@paulwarrenmetaldetecting]

I hear exactly what you're saying, I don't use Tesoro's on inland sites only on the river Thames where the iron is brutal, large and lumpy. I've hunted the same areas for years on this river, like I've mentioned many times before, my Nokta Legend and Minelab Equinox 800 don't perform on these areas as well as my analog machines, and that's fact. The Thames lends itself to Tesoro's strengths, on all inland sites I use my Nexus detectors. I basically use the best tools for the situation, not one detector for it all. I'm not hollering nothing, just stating facts, so just to answer this " but are you really helping anyone by claiming obsolete or outdated machines perform better?" I'm not claiming they perform better on every environment only on my river and I'm also not claiming people should rush out and buy one I'm simply stating my opinion based on my experience. Oh um ... the machines I use aren't dated and obsolete. If I'm claiming everyone should rush out and buy a single frequency machine why did Dilek share my review of the Legend on the Nokta Facebook page? I pointed out it performs great in areas where iron isn't too brutal and I found a lot with it.
