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 and 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.
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.
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, we also
manufacture a 7" and a 10 1/2" coil.
