| The Tiger Shark uses microprocessor technology to create a true dual function machine. In Normal Mode, the Tiger Shark works like any other Tesoro detector. It uses the same great ground balance and discrimination features that made the Bandido series so successful. On land, the Tiger Shark can be used for coin, jewelry, relic hunting and even gold prospecting. By using the four controls on the outside, you can fine tune your detector to handle whatever conditions you are working in. Internal adjustments extend the functionality of the Tesoro Working in the wet salt areas is where the Tiger Shark outshines the land detectors. In land conditions, the most crucial adjustment is using the ground balance to tune out mineralization. In wet salt conditions, changes in the conductivity in the sand cause most of the problems. The Tiger Shark uses a completely different set of internal settings in the SALT Mode than in the NORM Mode. There are no special controls or techniques to remember.

At 12.5 kHz and featuring a ground balance adjustment the Tiger Shark has exceptional small gold capability and for freshwater use you will not find an underwater detector betting at detecting earrings and chains. The Tiger Shark continues in the tradition of other great Tesoro underwater machines by having interchangeable coils available. Along with the 8" coil that comes standard with the detector, there are 7" and a 10 1/2" accessory coils available. Owners Manual Field Test  Tesoro Tiger Shark & Control Panel
