The Tesoro Lobo SuperTRAQ is simply one of the finest gold nugget metal detectors you can buy. Tesoro's SuperTRAQ Computerized Ground Tracking System solves the detectorist's greatest problem - ground balancing.  No matter where you hunt, the Tesoro Lobo Super TRAQ will quickly self-adjust to eliminate minerals letting you find more gold with ease. Many people have trouble learning how to properly ground balance their nugget detector. In ground that varies in mineralization, constant ground balancing can be a chore. If not done properly, gold nuggets can be missed. You will never have to worry about this with the Lobo's superior automatic ground balancing circuitry.

Discrimination circuitry with instant pinpointing at your fingertips takes the awesome power of the Tesoro Lobo SuperTRAQ into every type of metal detecting you do. Most gold nugget detectors do not feature fully adjustable discrimination circuitry, limiting their versatility. The Tesoro Lobo ST is not only a great gold nugget detector, but also a very capable coin and jewelry detector. If you are looking for a detector that can handle almost any type of detecting, then look no further. The Tesoro Lobo SuperTRAQ is truly one of the most versatile detectors made today.

Steve's Notes - This is a great little detector! I like it so much I purchased one for my father for his birthday. If a person is interested in owning one detector primarily for locating gold nuggets, but also to do some coin and jewelry detecting, then the Tesoro Lobo is an excellent choice.
My own use of the Lobo surprised me. In theory, as a 17.5 kHz detector, it should only have moderate sensitivity to small gold nuggets. The fact is, that the Lobo's MAXBoost sensitivity setting allows it to detect smaller gold nuggets than I expected. This allows the machine to set for higher sensitivity than would be the norm in most detectors. This can result in erratic operation and more false signals in some cases. In my local area (Anchorage, Alaska) however, the ground iron content is low and hot rocks are not a problem. The Lobo functioned smoothly at it's highest sensitivity settings.
