LOBO SUPER TRAQ

OPERATOR INSTRUCTION MANUAL

CONGRATULATIONS!

Your new Tesoro LOBO SuperTRAQ Metal Detector is designed to provide you with many happy hours
of gold nugget prospecting and metal detecting. Ahead of you lie fascinating and exciting experiences as
you take pleasure in the great outdoors searching for the most beautiful of all precious metals. I wish we
could share these experiences with you, and all of us at Tesoro wish you the best of success. Your LOBO
SuperTRAQ is capable of meeting your needs in a wide range of gold prospecting and metal detecting
situations. As with any other metal detector, familiarity with this instrument is probably the limiting
factor in determining how successful you can be. I recommend that you read this manual and understand
fully how to operate this metal detector before attempting to use it in the field. As you become more
familiar with your metal detector through practice, your rate of success will increase dramatically. The
LOBO SuperTRAQ 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! Jack Gifford

INTRODUCTION

To be successful in gold nugget prospecting with a detector you must:

Use a high-performance metal detector designed specifically for gold prospecting.
Learn how to use your metal detector properly.
Search where there is gold to be found. 
Be persistent. 

The LOBO SuperTRAQ metal detector is designed for gold prospecting. It will find both large and small
gold nuggets. It will find nuggets smaller than a BB under good conditions. It will not find gold dust.
Because the LOBO SuperTRAQ is sensitive to all kinds of metals and has Discrimination circuitry, it is
also an excellent machine for finding all types of buried metal objects such as coins, relics, jewelry, etc.

This OPERATOR Instruction Manual is designed to help you learn to operate the detector properly for
maximum performance in various search conditions. Complete instructions on how to properly operate
the LOBO SuperTRAQ are found in the two main sections: PART 1 - GETTING STARTED and PART
2 - OPERATING TECHNIQUES.

If you are new to electronic gold prospecting and operating metal detectors, we highly recommend
reading and following the entire GETTING STARTED section to develop the “feel” of your detector.
Then, study and practice the OPERATING TECHNIQUES section to get the best performance from your
detector.

If you are an experienced detectorist and are familiar with the concepts of metal detecting, you may want
to go directly to the Operating Techniques section. Whatever your prior detecting experience is, the more
skilled you become at operating this detector, the more rewarding your results will be.
