Using Zero Discrimination On My Tesoro Metal Detectors

Can I Use A Minimal Discrimination Setting On My Tesoro Machines When Hunting In Heavy Iron?

The simple answer to the question above is YES I can use a minimal discrimination setting on my Tesoro machines when I'm hunting in really heavy iron. This has been proven on my latest river Thames videos and will continue to be proven in the future. In the past when people have tried to debunk my claims about the performance of Tesoro's in iron they come up with the whole "edge of discrimination" bollocks. This term is used by the brainless to make out that I set my Tesoro machines up to pass an above ground 3D unmasking test with settings that can't be used in the wild.  

They claim I'm setting my detectors up to disc out one specific nail on the edge of discrimination which then enables the machines to 3D unmask. This argument is so incredibly boring to me and it's usually instigated by those that have no understanding of Tesoro detectors or any other analog machine for that matter. I've explained that if you understand what iron, both small and large sounds like with minimal discrimination then you can run the machine wide open. Operating a Tesoro like this enables it to unmask to the best of its abilities, this point appears to go completely over the heads of those that have come into the hobby using digital detectors. 


I've always hunted slowly and very rarely swing fast, this lends itself to running a machine on zero disc because you are analysing each target response as it comes up. I've explained in the past how I hear more than one tone on a 'one tone' machine, simply put, it's a language that needs to be mastered to get the most out of both the detector and the ground you're hunting on. If you have only ever used automated digital machines then the points I'm trying to make aren't going to make any sense to you whatsoever and this has been proven by the amount of complete cocks that come my way spouting their shit about machines they know nothing it. 

Again, despite what some people insist, the high tone that some large flat iron can produce isn't the same as the high tone of a nonferrous target. The iron has an overload distortion to it and when you rotate it starts to spit and crackle. Some flat iron you can rotate on and continue to get a high tone but the distortion is really obvious, people that claim they dug a ton of iron swinging Tesoro's never took the time to really listen and master what the machines were telling them. The principle I'm explaining applies to all of my analog metal detectors.


To conclude, the people claiming that minimal/zero discrimination isn't a useable setting are only displaying their inability and misunderstanding on how to run an analog machine effectively. It's the same old faces spouting the same old shit who have only ever used automated digital detectors. The art of hunting via audio alone is completely lost on these people because they're a product of the "new age" of metal detecting where the machine does everything for you, which in turn enables people to go and hunt with zero understanding on how to set a machine up correctly. It's usually these types of entities that look upon themselves as the experts.

  1. I've been trying this minimum discrimination thing recently on my Golden mask 1+ 18khz with 5 inch coil in my pretty large garden. I've been finding many non ferrous targets still. There is lots of iron contamination, so a perfect testing ground. I've been over my garden so many times with my other machines, which include. An old Minelab eTrac, an AKA Sorex pro, a Teknetics T2 original and a Golden Mask 4wd. It seems that the eTrac performs the crapest. The others are all very good.
    I've been detecting for about 15 years and have learnt a lot over this time. The main thing is to let your brain analyse the audio. Secondary is target ID if using a digital machine.
    Excellent YouTube channel by the way.
