LASER TRIDENT 1
Comments Started life as a Tesoro Cibola then came over here and became the Laser Trident 1, The Tesoro Vaquero became the Trident 2 and had a manual ground balance option Pros Lightweight, Easy to use Cons Horrible 'low grunt' signal instead of the nice sharp signal on older Laser/Tesoros Not great depth, Terrible on low conductive targets unless they are on the surface, Average among iron, and not particularly low priced. |

|
DEPTH TESTS The depth tests are set up to gauge the power of the detector, all iron is removed from the hole. Various size items are buried at good depths |
