Is it OK with you if I use your pic of the inside of the sand shark on my desktop.
Permission Granted

Kind of confused. You said tesoro took care of the problems each time and you are still using the machine. Even when tesoro asked you to send it in, you still kept it and used it instead of sending it in. They gave you scuffs batteries replaced the coil 2x and you are still saying it does great with small metals.
I see Nothing but good reviews of Tesoro. You are the only person I can find that wrote something bad about Tesoro and you still say the machine is finding the small metals.
It seems to me that not everybody in the world can be satisfied and you are in the .01% of them that can never be satisfied.
Why don't you sell your Sand Shark and get the metal detector that you like.
I have heard of some companies who have asked their customers not to be their customer anymore and pawn their problem customers on other companies!
Personally I've never liked Tesoro's PI (Pulse Induction) machines. In tests I've conducted I've found them to be lacking in the depth department. Actually on dry ground they didn't go deeper than the Silver uMax VLF machine.
I understand that diving is a different thing but the dry ground tests told me enough to sell my PI units.
While they have their place, I generally don't like any PI unit. If possible I'll take a VLF any day.
If you don’t know the advantages that the micro-processor and advanced micro-circuitry provide, and you think it “looks” cheap – that is on you.
Microprocessors and Microcontrollers are common place in detectors nowadays. That is all marketing hype from 20 years ago...
WOW Terry showed you 10lbs of finds, a butt load more rings. you crumbled with a crappy 3 items and a dime.
Dude the boat left a while ago! see if you cant start swimming for it. Use the dime to call someone to stop it even.
WOW really? these people!
My picture was one day of hunting, his pictures are all his finds from 2 years of using the Sand Shark...
The point of the picture is that they are items that the Sand Shark will never see...
Why god, did I post in a Sand Shark thread...
I'll take the OP's word about half way, but I won't let the Sand Shark be bashed just because one guy had a bad experience. There is a lot of smack being talked about depth and pulse delay, by folks that are - well, this is the Friendly forum, so I will say that their opinions differ greatly from 99-percent of Sand Shark owners.
I own machines that make money for me. If the Sand Shark was inferior - in ANY way, I would not be using it. I own a Minelab GPX 5000, and I know how to use PI machines. If you don’t know the advantages that the micro-processor and advanced micro-circuitry provide, and you think it “looks” cheap – that is on you. A lifetime warranty says it is the best on the market in its price range, and several others.
Talk up your machine, and stop bashing mine, one of the best you can buy – period.
Just a little Sand Shark Booty from last season..
Show me your gold or take a bus.. What was your forum name before you changed it again? I keep forgetting..
WHAT!!!!! did I hear someone saying something bad about a Tesoro , send that person to my office immediately, I will deal with him . I am so upset hearing the good Tesoro name getting slammed that I need a drink .You should know by now never to down play a Tesoro product! The Tesoro fanatics will have you tarred and feathered... I have even heard of people going missing after bashing a Tesoro product.......
Some of our ground over here on the Right Coast (oops I meant East Coast ) isn't so mild.I know the way I talk about the Sand Shark I make it sound like a bad machine, Terry just gets me worked up with his exaggerations...
The Sand Shark does get good depth, I dug copper pennies and quarters at 15" or so, dimes at roughly 12"... and this is in harsh Southern CA ground, so it does beat VLF depth in this bad ground, which a PI should.
It's when you start comparing it to the other waterproof PIs, that you start to see that the Sand Shark isn't at the top of the pack... granted the PIs I'm referring to cost nearly twice as much.
I have a feeling the Sand Shark is a completely different animal on the east coast, with the mild ground over there. It just doesn't perform like Terry claims over here on the west coast.
