Good to hear. I had checked a few times since Steve’s post and it wouldn’t load for some reason???

EDIT... never mind my comment on the website as it is still up. Still would be nice if they would give us some info though! The website appears to have vanished?(ooops) Kind of a bummer, would of been nice if they released some info. A closeout garage sale would have been sweet! I want a backup cleansweep!!!

Hoping Dilek is listening ........... Is there a timeframe for availability of the new coils???? Want to give the 13" a try

Definitely looking forward to a pinpointer that syncs with the headphones!

The last two times I spoke with Rusty before he retired seemed to hint at the end being near. Without a true multi tone target ID model its hard to compete. With all the tech in our hands these days from cell phones to streaming TV and all the in home google toys its hard to get people to buy an analog product with knobs and switches. Even our vacuum cleaners are going robotic. Guess I better grab a brace of 5.75 Compadres to keep in the closet. Definitely won’t ever be caught without one for hoovering jewelry out of the wood chips!!!!!! Best wishes and thanks to the Tesoro family!!!!!

Thanks for the link Steve There is another url without the hyphen and it doesn’t show them

Just saw a Facebook post on a Kruzer group. Says NEL coils will be available soon. Anybody hear anything about this??!

Looks good. I use a 12’ canoe with a trolling motor to get to some of the old ferry crossings and steamboat landings I hunt. Just dont forget an m80 or two for alligator repellent 🤠

The 19 is intriguing. It will be interesting to see what the “cache” mode entails. Any news on a user manual yet?

The MK is my first experience with any of your products and I am 300% loving its abilities. I am convinced that whatever your engineers and techs come up with for the simultaneous multi freak detector will be a success. That being said, my MK keeps me too busy digging goodies to think about a new detector for many more years hopefully! Cant wait to see what the future holds!!! Thanks for making great products EDIT......the only thing I would change on MK or add to future models would be to have the backlight be Red. I do some night hunting when it’s hot in the summer and the stock back light really hampers nighttime vision. I usualyy keep a red lighting gel over the screen at night.

Thats the unfortunate reality of the internet. It’s soeasy for people to post vids and forum posts of things they perceive as problematic before they have taken the time to really learn the machine’s character and capabilities.

No more puzzling than a parachute delivery.............. Lets hope it won't take that long to hit the market!

It will be interesting to see what the pulse delay/timing capabilities of the final production Manta will be. It's been discussed by quite a few folks that the big hurdle is factory production of a coil that can reliably operate below 10uS. Time will tell and at least now,White's may have given them a reason to hurry it along!

I have a 5x9 for the Makro, but I almost always have my Mojave when I travel. It's so easy to pack the control box and coil in a carry on and the rods and a trowel in the checked bag! I work with touring bands so get a lot of opportunities to jewelry hunt at festival sites and amphitheaters with lawn seating, and a lot of theaters and arenas seem to be cozied up to old parks/ green spaces in down town areas that surprisingly must not see that many detectorists! Thanks for the video link. I've watched a few of his talking videos. Very knowledgable guy, it was a seminar/talk of his that finally made me understand the whole threshold versus sensitivity concept.

Thanks for the advice! I have been doing some land research based on the links Steve has in his wonderful beginners articles on the website. I guess I'll focus on the Phoenix area since that will maximize family visiting time as well, and I'll be able to borrow my uncles truck instead of getting a rental stuck in a cactus. Probably just give it a shot with my MakroMK or Tesoro Mojave. I know they aren't ideal specialized nugget machines, but both are capable of detecting tiny bits and at this point I'm in it more for the adventure. When it happens I'll pack plenty of H2O and stick to the morning and evening shifts!
