Key Features

Pulse-Induction Technology

Pairing the legendary Pulse induction technology with latest digital detection, Tesoro Sand Shark metal detectors lets you discover lost treasure on dry land and in water. When it comes to searching for treasures in salt-water beaches, the PI metal detectors stand out amongst the completion. Dissimilar to other models, these detectors this model also as works well in salty water. Generally, conductivity in salt water is different. This change causes erratic behavior in the VLF metal detector, making it hard for them to identify metal from sand and other materials.

Two Distinct Operating Modes

The Sand Shark detector lets the user choose from two distinct working modes, which includes the Normal and VCO mode. When it comes to VCO mode, the detector creates a louder and high-pitched tone when it comes closer to the target. This makes it easy to pinpoint the target in water. On the other hand, the usual mode has a single tone. It is useful for beachcombing as well as other prolonged searches.

Improved Sensitivity

Interestingly, this unit comes with an advanced microprocessor that helps in customizing the detector so that it suits your specific demands. The processor has a pulse width control that lets you fine-tune it to balance the sensitivity, depth as well as the battery life. Using the intuitive controls, users can also toggle between the settings by turning the adjustment knob. Another great feature that comes with this unit is a decent battery life of between 10 to 20 hours depending on the settings you are using.

Top Mounted Control Box

For enhanced performance, this unit comes with a top mounted control box that is easy to control. This control box is strategically positioned for easy access to all necessary buttons while diving. The set also comes with waterproof stereo headphones that let you identify your targets quickly. This is not all; we love the unique coil setup that offers you better efficiency. It is interesting to learn that you can choose between either the 5.75-inch or 8 inches. The larger coils are more sensitive and cover a large area, helping you save time. On the other hand, the smaller coil does a great job when it comes to treasure hunting on junk areas as it offers more focused discrimination.

Our Verdict

Overall, the Tesoro Sand Shark metal detector is a great choice for underwater enthusiasts. It also makes a perfect solution for salty water beaches as it eliminates interference that is caused by changes in conductivity. In our opinion, we find this model best for underwater or search on wet sand. However, it has a limitation when it comes to dry land. While it has discrimination features, it doesn’t do a great job on dry land. Overall, this is model is hard to beat when it comes to submerged metal detection especially when considering its price.

Find the right metal detector, then find your treasure!
