Thanks for taking the time to put up the video. I have had a LST for years but haven't played with it enough to get good at it. Watching this video has given me some great starting points and I hope to get it out and find some gold.
Scanner guy - Great video on the Lobo ST. BTW the disc side of the Lobo ST has a preset ground balance. Also Dave Johnson designed this for Tesoro after he left Fisher Labs. He then went on to design the Whites MXT and is currently the lead designer for First Texas ( Fisher Teknetics, Bounty Hunter).
Thats awesome to know about Dave. Im in the middle of testing some lower end bounty hunters and a delta 4000. As far as the lobo goes. Someone knows what they are doing. I swear the lobo and the vaquero are tops compared to many many detectors that are even priced a lot higher.
scannerguy, I just bought one of these... visited with a guy from company and had a question on batteries. I wanted to get rechargeable ones but he really discouraged it. Said the best results come from Alkaline batteries are best! I assume you are using them in this video. Other videos trying to make this look like an inferior machine must not be using the correct batteries I assume. Thanks for a great comprehensive video!
I would say from experience the Alkalines are better. Would run longer. Shouldn't hurt performance though with rechargeables. Would just die faster. Once a battery drop below say 1.2 volts either kind the detector would quit or act up.
Hi from the U.K, Thank you for providing the U.K Tesoro owners with your excellent videos, they are the boss. Please, if possible will you make a short vid, or furnish us with your opinion of the practicalities of the Tejon with the 5x10" Elliptical (Lobo) coil fitted. There are literally no Proper video Testings of this combination, and I'm sure the dedicated U.K Tejon owners would find the information invaluable. Tejon kicks ass for sure, and I will never part with mine, it cuts through our ground like a hot-knife through butter. In fact, some of my buddies own more expensive, all-singing, all-dancing 'analoguers', and have remarked that in certain instances their machines are of as much use as teats on a boar pig in comparison!
Great video! I would like to see the a test of the new classic Teknetics T2 they are 50% cheaper than they used to be, might be one you want to try sometime.
Hmmm... you're not supposed to wind the wire all the way down around the plastic piece that connects to the coil. This creates a field that interferes with the coil itself! You are supposed to go straight down to the coil and only wind it around the gold-colored part! Hope that makes sense.
I personally contacted Tesoro about that, they said it doesn't matter if the wrap is on the gold or black bar. It makes no difference in the ability to detect
Pardon me, but the cable shouldn't be wrapped around the bottom tube. Bring it srtaight up to the gold post and coil it on from there up. You'll get even more action out of this fine machine.
@@gazakelly9266 Everyone? Doesn't that mean --- I don't count? Not just me ---- but, I don't think I have to point out your argumentative arrogance any more than you've already done yourself. 😊 P.S. Your inexperience is obvious. .
I'm trying to get into the hobby & have been doing my research before spending good money & not getting the right machine for what I need it for, (like I usually do). Your video's are helping with the decision process, my question is, have you tried a side by side test between the LST & the Nokta, or tried changing the coils on each machine, (putting a bigger coil on the LST, & putting a smaller coil on the Nokta) to see how this effects their overall performance? Also, have you been interested to see how the LST would test against the Fisher Gold Bug 2, which seems to be all the craze at the moment? Thanks for your time in creating your videos, there great!!!
Scott Wasik higher frequency machines will pick up gold easier: Tesoro machines are great been and dig machines with really good depth. I do like both Tesoro’s and Whites classic series for any scenario. For the money and performance and portability; Tesoro’s are best. Tesoro lobo: vaquero; bandido umax2; gold. Good machines all around.
I'm considering the lobo, local guy is selling one for decent. Might throw on that 10x12 coil, did you upload a video of the lobo using that coil?? Is it worth it? Does it improve the depth by a lot?? Thanks for the input..
+meals24u I didn't try it with the 10x12. I know I had the 10x12 for my vaq and didn't seem to do much for depth over the stock 9x8 though. My guess it will improve depth decent over the football coil though
Based on your reviews I'm down to the Fisher F75 and this Tesoro Lobo. Which do you think goes deeper and which would be better for salt water beaches? Thanks!
i am using lobo 8 years on the salt water sand......i have nel tornado coil and believe me i found jewlery about 1 gr at 35 cm which is 13 inches...when it is rainy days i have more depth at the salt sand which is very strange and don't forget lifetime warranty ....lobo in my opinion it is one of the best all around detectors ...respect from greece
scannerguy1968 thankyou for your response. planning on upgrading, so will go for the Lobo for my gold search and the f75 ltd for the general coin and relic.
I have both but i would take the Lobo in every situation where depth is not an issue. Very simple detector to use with a very short learning curve.The signals of the Lobo are much clearer then the ones of the Tejon. You know when to dig and not with the Lobo. In case of the Tejon i'm not always sure to dig or not, there is less information in the signals compared to the ones of the Lobo. The Lobo gives you much more information in his beeps.
+brad ford I'm going to pick one up in the spring then test it. I fell in love with the Vaq and the Tejon has the same and more. My guess it will be giving my Fors Core a run for the money if not beat it.
scannerguy1968 i bought a tejon from a guy who didnt know what he had and never used it...it came with stock and 5.75 conc. coils for $75.00!!!!inot a scratch on it..i bought it to make money on it..but i fell in love withh it!!! i never thought i would like a machine without a screen...boy was i wrong..i havent used my At Pro since! the tejon is one hell of a unit!!!! the depth and disc is just amazing!!
thanks for taking the time do all that work. very helpfull
I love how the vaquero is the benchmark

How can I get in touch with Dave. I really have many questions about the level of inaccuracy. Huge difference between what is said and actual s
Thanks for the video. Very in-depth.

That did alot better than the Hawkeye and other tesoros have. Pretty cool

My Tesoro Lobo SuperTraq found a BB 9 inches deep using the "football" coil.
holy crap I am sold on the lobo
Good stuff..... Thank you
Is this secretly Jessie Ventura’s hobby channel?

Hey guy, have you tested with the goldenask 1+ ? Rgds
great detector

O yea !! everyone wraps it round the bottom stem 🤸 does not waft about 🤸 some people talk shite 😭

Jmo but I find the GB2 requires constant ground balancing if you're searching for gold specks. Would be great with auto GB
I would really like to see you do a depth test of a Tesoro Tejon
Dimitri Petridis Me too. Waiting for a good enough buy on one. Thinking it will replace my Vaq when I do.
scannerguy1968 Do you think the tejon would be better than the lobo?
Have you done a review on the Tesoro Cortez?
So all Tesoro are great metal detector? In your opinion what is the best one ☝️Because I am going to buy one with your opinion

Can you still find larger coils for the Lobo?
Nice video, thanks for sharing. Question: How does this one compare to the old Golden Sabre II???
Great question as I have the GS 2 and love it
How did the supertrax do with bigger coils?
I'm considering the lobo, local guy is selling one for decent. Might throw on that 10x12 coil, did you upload a video of the lobo using that coil?? Is it worth it? Does it improve the depth by a lot?? Thanks for the input..

can you do a video on the Garrett sea hunter pulse induction and Whites pulse induction detectors
+Mike Smith Hopefully in the spring I'll be hitting a lot of detectors. Including it as well. Thanks 4 watching
Disc to high, no more than 2, disc kills the lst,
Good job. Have you tested the F75 yet?
Thanks for sharing
+Tim Dunk Not yet, just found out I may have one coming. Really hoping to run through the bed
Based on your reviews I'm down to the Fisher F75 and this Tesoro Lobo. Which do you think goes deeper and which would be better for salt water beaches? Thanks!
+Michael Proctor I would think the f75 would be better.

Lobo on the wet salt sand ??
Really ??
GB2 or lobo?
good joob
Hola camarada me gusta tu canal, échale un vistazo al mío BANDIDOS DE LA DETECCIÓN, saludos desde buenos Aires
Scannerguy, between the Lobo and Tejon what would you say are the diferencces?
Think the Lobo is better on gold. Otherwise the Tejon beats it in everything. But not saying the Lobo is bad in any way or form
scannerguy1968 thankyou for your response. planning on upgrading, so will go for the Lobo for my gold search and the f75 ltd for the general coin and relic.

tejon is for dry soil .....lobo is more all around machine and more sensitive also is coin killer
what did the tejon score on your test.?..i love my tejon it is an awesome machine!
+brad ford I'm going to pick one up in the spring then test it. I fell in love with the Vaq and the Tejon has the same and more. My guess it will be giving my Fors Core a run for the money if not beat it.

i bought a tejon from a guy who didnt know what he had and never used it...it came with stock and 5.75 conc. coils for $75.00!!!!inot a scratch on it..i bought it to make money on it..but i fell in love withh it!!! i never thought i would like a machine without a screen...boy was i wrong..i havent used my At Pro since! the tejon is one hell of a unit!!!! the depth and disc is just amazing!!
What's the best Tesoro FOR GOLD?
+Douglass Deremer Not sure. The higher the frequency ones will be though.
I want to see a whites V3I.
Coming up this spring. Have one and working on re learning it.
Looks as if it found the perimeter of theboxed nails
super! tank you (france)
anyone know witch larger coil he has?
Im looking to buy
Pretty sure its the stock coil these come with
@@scannerguy1968
He said he had a larger coil he might put on in the end of the video. But he didn't the one he is useing is stock yes.
A good one is the Detech Ultimate 13" is also use. Light coil with good performance.
