Tesoro/Laser metal detectors and genuine Tesoro/Laser 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 detecting in general.
See your Tesoro Authorized Dealer for more information and prices
on optional accessories.
Searchcoils
The 9x8 monolithic searchcoil provided with the Trident I is de-
signed for best all-around performance. Optional searchcoils may add to
your detector’s performance.
Smaller searchcoils give better “target separation”- that is, more
distinct target response for metal objects buried closely together-which
is very useful when hunting trashy sites. Very small searchcoils can de-
liver 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, covering more ground, and provide greater depth espe-
cially 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
concentric 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 search-
coil is better than all the rest. Several optional interchangeable search-
coils are available for the Trident I. They are all easy to mount and
require no special tools.
