. Here is a good read on the Troy SHADOW X2 http://www.troycustomdetectors.com/reviews/x2_sickler_review.html Here is some more info on the X5 & the X3 http://www.troycustomdetectors.com/shadowtips/competition2.html Steve.
Tesoro has their hand in Troy detectors so they have to be good
the X2 is nothing more than a over priced silver U max, that is only because no one has told Tesoro that the Silver uMax should cost about twice as much as it does, yup it is that good. Steve.the X2 is nothing more than a over priced silver U max..the X2 is kinda like troys redheaded step child
the X3 and X5 where made by fisher.

Hope Tesoro isn't listening I don't want to be to blame for a price increase

Because I want to try every model that Tesoro has made & in order to do so I have to sell the one I have in order to be able to afford a different one. Every Tesoro that I have had is a good one, but the simplicity/efectiveness/etc. keeps me going back to the Silver uMax if I wander out of the Tesoro brand. Example I bought a Garrett Ace twice to see what all the hype is about & to try and like it, it just isn't going to happen so I sell it go back to the Silver - try the F2, like it very good detector but still isn't a Silver uMax. I get emails/pm's very often about the Silver uMax & wanting to try one I end up selling mine to them just so they can try one & it gives me some $$$ to find another older Tesoro. Some people buy/collect cars & other things I would like to collect Tesoro detectors but unfortunatly I can only afford one at a time. For any of you doubting the Silver try one, or ask any member on this forum or any other one that has bought a Silver or other model Tesoro from me how good they are. Happy Holidays! Steve.
I don't like to say how deep I have dug things as the actual depth of an item I have dug could be clouded by the excitement of the find. but I have dug things with my troys that have been pretty impressive depth wise. just yesterday I got a faint but audible and repeatable signal in a field I have been hunting..It took me 6 scoops with my shovel which is an estimate 15-16" when you take in account that I wasn't digging straight down. The target turned out to be a large copper,most likely a large cent but due to the awful condition of the coin I am unable to determine its true identity. take it for whats it worth but the troys really do amaze me and nothing can convince me there is a better machine on the market for my type of hunting.
I own quit a few machines and over the years I have built a rather large and very thought out test garden,I like to think I have come up with most every variable possible in my "garden" to put any machine to the test. out of all my machine I have 3 that are able to detect most every target I have the best of the 3 is the shadow X5 next is the tesoro tejon and the 3rd is the shadow x3. like I said my garden will test the power of any machine but there are some things I am not able to duplicate that happen in the field such as HEAVY mineralization,electrical interferences and what could happen to a targets composition when said target is in the ground for a very long time...my garden is only about 10yrs old and every year targets I have planted change the way a machine picks it up but it will give you an idea of the power of said machine and is great for learning a machine or at least off setting the learning curve. like I said take it for what it worth...experiences may vary....void where prohibited...only one entry per person and if you live in Rhode Island don't even bother
