Hay EJ,
The disc must be learned.
I have four different kinds of Tesoeoes and
each one has a different back ground.
I never look past the knob it self. I am unaware
of what is behind it. It is an estimation that is
of use only to a beginner.
There is only a single tone.
To me everyhings usually sounds as it should.
I can tell iron, large or small. I can tell a lot
just by listening.
The discriminator is used to determin conductivity.
When you can properly ID size and conductivity,
you will be well on your way.
I get more out of these single tone machines than
I ever did from a display.
That takes a lot of practice.
I learned tons when I tried to rid a playground
of tens of thousands of little pieces of shreaded
aluminum one winter.
For months I would go down the street to that
tot lot and recover one or two thousand targets
on each trip.
People do not want to put that kind of effort in
to the hobby.
It is up to you.
Tot lots yeld jewelry. I became good at finding
gold jewelry beginning two years ago when I
found these forums.
Pin pointing with a Tesoro is easier than most
machines. You can do it in all metal or the disc
mode.
It just takes a little paying attention to what
you are doing, over and over.
Good luck with it,
Tabdog
