Tesoro is the Spanish word for treasure. Founder Jack Gifford chose the name and the conquistador for the company logo over 20 years ago because, in Jack's own words: "As the Spaniards were yesterday's undisputed masters of treasure hunting, we at TESORO will always endeavor to meet our goal of making TESORO Metal Detectors today's undisputed masters of treasure hunting." Today, Tesoro Electronics remains a family business. Tesoro's lifetime warranty covers defects in material and workmanship for as long as the metal detector is owned by the original purchaser. Tesoro detectors are Made in the USA. Gold Rush Trading Post is not an authorized warranty center for metal detectors; products must be sent to the factory for repairs. To learn more about Tesoro's warranty and products, and to read customer testimonials and field tests, visit www.tesoro.com  Click on metal detector photos below for more details and larger image.

    SearchCoils 

    The searchcoil is a vital part of your metal detector. The type of searchcoil you should use is determined by what you're hunting and in what conditions. Not sure which coil you need for your specific treasure hunting style or which fits your detector? Visit www.tesoro.com or e-mail us with your questions.

    Tone Change on Tesoro Golden uMax Metal Detector
    Tone Change on Tesoro Golden uMax Metal Detector

    The Tesoro Golden uMax metal detector has undergone a new and improved tone change! By changing the pitches, Tesoro has made it easier to distinguish all 4 tones clearly, which makes it easier to identify targets. Starting with the serial number 190900 (the manual has Rev 2.0 on the cover) in April 2011, all detectors have these new and improved tones. The lower tones better identify potential trash and higher tones reflect valuable targets such as silver and nickel.

    Please note the correct way to set up a Tesoro Golden uMax metal detector: the notch-width control MUST be adjusted while air testing nickel with the discriminate control turned completely down to "min." With the notch switch in either wide or narrow position, adjust the notch-width to obtain a good target sound on nickel. This will give you 4 target tones. If the notch-width is NOT set correctly, you will hear only 3 tones.

    If you already own a Golden uMax metal detector and want to have the tones changed for $50, please contact Tesoro directly.

    Tesoro means treasure, and that's exactly what you'll find when you choose a Tesoro metal detector for your next hunt!

    Is a crystal-controlled metal detector better than one that is not crystal-controlled?
    Most metal detector manufacturers use crystal resonators in their machines because of the tight tolerances of the resonator. If the part is listed as 15.7 kHz, all parts will be exactly that frequency. The downside of these super tight tolerances is that the detectors are more likely to crosstalk with each other. In other words, the transmit and receive signals from two or more different machines will start interfering with each other.

    Tesoro metal detectors use an LC or tank circuit to generate operating frequency. A capacitor and an inductor are paired together and create a naturally occurring efficient frequency. Variation in the capacitor and inductor cause slight variations in the operating frequency, which reduces the likelihood of crosstalk with other Tesoro  metal detectors. The variation is small enough that it does not affect the performance of the detector.
