"The Name That Means Treasure"

CONGRATULATIONS!

Your new Tesoro DeLeón metal detector is part of a new series of

detectors designed to provide you with many happy hours of enjoyment

in the most rewarding hobby I can think of—treasure hunting. Ahead of

you lie fascinating and exciting experiences as you step into the past—

uncovering artifacts lost by past generations, or as you take pleasure in the

great outdoors with family and friends searching for precious metals. I

wish we could share these experiences with you, and all of us at Tesoro

wish you the best of success.

Your Tesoro detector is capable of meeting your needs in a wide range

of treasure hunting situations. As with any other metal detector, familiar-

ity with this instrument is probably the limiting factor in determining how

successful you can be. I recommend that you read this manual and fully

understand how to operate this detector before attempting to use it in the

field. As you become more familiar with your detector through practice,

your rate of success will increase dramatically.

The DeLeón is a precision electronic instrument that will last for

years if properly cared for. Treat it right and it won’t let you down.

Good Hunting!

bly, connect the pole assemblies together, wrap the excess cable around

the pole and plug the cable into the control housing. Finally, adjust the

pole length and searchcoil angle and you're ready!

INSTALLING THE BATTERY

The DeLeón is powered by 8 AA batteries divided into 2 compart-

ments, which are located in the armrest housing.

Open the battery compartment under the armrest by gently grasping

the bottom edge of the door and pulling outward and upward. (The door

is hinged at the top.)

Remove the batteries by pressing down on the right side of the 4-pack

battery holder so that the left side of the holder will pop up. Pull out the

holder and replace the batteries as needed.

When returning the holder, note the position of the spring clips inside

the armrest housing and make sure that the battery pack contacts fit snug-

ly against the springs. Insert the side with the contacts first and then press

down on the left edge of the battery holder to reseat the holder.

Snap compartment cover to close.

GETTING STARTED 4

1) On the lower pole assembly, remove the mounting screw and thumb

nut from the pole tip.

2) Insert the pole tip between the mounting ears of the searchcoil and

align the holes of the pole tip and washers with those of the mounting ears.

Note: The pole tip should fit very snugly into the mounting ears.

3) Insert the mounting screw through the holes in the mounting ears and

pole tip—entering from the side opposite the cable connection.

4) Install the thumb nut on the mounting screw and tighten by hand.

Note: Do not overtighten the thumb nut. It should be snug but not too dif-

ficult to loosen.

5) On the middle pole assembly, depress the two spring buttons and slide

the middle pole assembly into the upper pole assembly until the spring but-

tons click into the holes, thus locking the two assemblies into place.

Tighten the pole lock to secure the two assemblies together.

6) Slide lower pole into middle pole until the spring buttons click into

the first set of adjustment holes. Turn pole lock to tighten the assembly

into place.

7) Wrap the cable around the pole leaving enough slack near the search-

coil to permit searchcoil adjustment.

Note: Do not allow the cable to flop loosely over the searchcoil. Since

the detector is sensitive enough to "see"the tiny wires in the cable, a

floppy cable can cause false signals as the searchcoil senses the moving

wires.

8) Plug the male cable end into the female connector on the control

housing and tighten the cable thumb nut. You are finished!

Note: You will want to adjust the pole length and the searchcoil angle to

your preference.

Note: We have included an optional Velcro arm strap with your DeLeón

detector. To install, remove the backing on the two smaller hook patch-

es and press firmly to sides of arm cup. Adjust strap to provide snug

comfortable fit.

GETTING STARTED 6

The pole length should be adjusted so that the detector does not

become uncomfortable or tiring after long periods of use. The detector

grip should rest in your hand with your arm relaxed, your elbow straight

but not locked, with the pole extending out in front of you at the approx-

imate angle shown in the

photo.

You should be able to

swing the detector back and

forth in front of you—using

relaxed shoulder movement—

while keeping the searchcoil as

close to the ground as possible.

This swinging movement is

often called a "sweep."

The searchcoil should not

touch the ground during your

sweep. The pole length should

be adjusted to allow this with-

out having to lift the detector

with your elbow or shoulder.

The searchcoil should rest

about one inch above the

ground while you are standing

erect. The angle of the search-

coil should allow the bottom to

be parallel to the ground.

The pole length is adjusted

by loosening the pole lock,

then depressing the spring but-

tons and extending or shortening the pole until the spring buttons click

into the set of holes that give you the most comfortable pole length.

To adjust the searchcoil angle, simply loosen the searchcoil thumb nut

slightly and move the searchcoil into the desired position. Tighten the

searchcoil thumb nut by hand so that the searchcoil will hold in place.

GETTING STARTED 8

The Quickstart is designed to teach you how to use your new

DeLeón. It provides a quick and easy means of learning your detector and

the concepts behind all the functions.

You will need the following items:

1) Your fully assembled DeLeón.

2) An Iron target (a small nail or screw will do), an iron wash-

er, a nickel, a zinc penny (1982 or later), a quarter and a cou-

ple of different pull tabs.

3) A nonmetal table top or counter.

Here's what you will do:

1) Check Display Readings in DISC Mode

2) Adjust SENSITIVITY

3) Perform Air Test in DISC Mode

4) Adjust THRESHOLD

5) Perform Air Test in ALL METAL Mode

6) Perform BATT TEST

Prepare for the Quickstart

Place your assembled DeLeón on the nonmetal surface. Make sure

that there are no metal objects near the coil and remove any jewelry from

your hands and wrists.

9 DELEÓN OPERATOR INSTRUCTION MANUAL

Start with the controls as shown in the photo below:

1) THRESHOLD, SENSITIVITY and DISCRIMINATE LEV-

EL knobs turned completely counterclockwise.

2) MODE switch in the DISC setting.

Check Display Readings in DISC Mode

Turn the SENSITIVITY knob from OFF to about 2-3. In the first

couple of seconds, you may or may not hear a slight hum that will fade

away and the display will read TESORO, DELEON and DISC. As long

as these three screens show up, you can be assured that your DeLeón has

started up properly.
