The searchcoil is waterproof and may be submerged in either fresh or salt water. Caution should be
exercised to prevent water from entering the chassis, where it could damage the electronic circuitry. After
the coil is used in salt water, the coil and lower stem assembly should be rinsed well with fresh water to
prevent corrosion of the metal parts.

There are several good books to help the beginner learn how to use the detector, where to search and how
to recover a target without damaging the environment. A good detectorist can recover a lot of finds and
leave the area looking as though he had never been there. Above all, always fill your holes when you
have recovered the target.

TESORO Metal Detectors are sold through independent dealers, who are almost always treasure hunters
themselves. They can provide you with much needed information about how to use your detector, how to
probe, plug and dig in your locale, and answer most of your questions about treasure hunting in general.

The use of earphones will benefit you in two ways. Most earphones will very effectively block out most
of the ambient noise, such as traffic noise and wind noise, which will enable you to better hear the fainter
signals caused by the deeper targets. Obviously, the older, more valuable coins will probably be deeper
than the ones which were lost last week, so you should take advantage of anything that will help you hear
the weaker signals. Secondly, using earphones will greatly extend the battery life, since it takes much
less power to operate them. The LOBO SuperTRAQ is not equipped with a volume control, but does
have a limited circuit in the earphone jack. If less volume is desired with earphones, you may want to use
earphones with a built-in volume control. Any good 8 to 16 ohm set with ¼ inch stereo jack will do.

HAPPY HUNTING, and thank you for purchasing a TESORO.

METAL DETECTORIST'S CODE OF ETHICS

Always check federal, state, county and local laws before searching. It is your responsibility to “know
the law.”
