Optional Accessories Searchcoils - Tesoro Cibola Operator's Instruction Manual

OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES
Tesoro metal detectors and genuine Tesoro accessories are sold only
through independent Tesoro Authorized Dealers, who are almost always
metal detectorists themselves. They can answer your questions about your
Tesoro detector, what accessories may be helpful, and about metal detect-
ing in general.
See your Tesoro Authorized Dealer for more information and prices on
optional accessories.
Searchcoils
The 9 x 8 monolithic searchcoil provided with the Cibola is designed
for best all-around performance. Optional searchcoils may add to your
detector's performance.
Smaller searchcoils give better "target separation"—that is, more dis-
tinct target response for metal objects buried closely together—which is
very useful when hunting trashy sites. Very small searchcoils can deliver
the best response and depth to small targets such as fine gold chains with
some sacrifice in depth on larger objects. Larger searchcoils give a wider
sweep, cover more ground, and provide greater depth especially on larger
objects; however, they may not detect some very small objects such as half
dimes and will have difficulty in very trashy areas.
Widescan searchcoils ignore ground mineralization better than concen-
tric searchcoils and may offer improved performance in extreme ground
conditions.
Selecting the right optional searchcoil depends on factors such as what
you are searching for and search site conditions. No one searchcoil is bet-
ter than all the rest. Several optional interchangeable searchcoils are avail-
able for the Cibola. They are all easy to mount and require no special tools.
See the next page for a list of these searchcoils with the Tesoro part # and
description.
