New to tesoro. What took me so long?

[Deftone]

Hi all! I recently made a purchase of a used vaq for $360. I was so worried what shape it would be in and if I would even like it at all. Man, I studied long and hard at what to get cause I knew my bh's just were leaving me with a feeling that I was not getting what I should outta the ground.

See the thing is today was my first day out with my new vaq. Of course I goofed around with it the night before. Today I got out and pretended I actually knew how to gb it. Ive watched all the vids and looked here way before my purchase. But it was picking up signals that came in loud and clear. I really like the tones it gives. Not the annoying eer err errr my bh gave off.

My first dig was an experience. The hole was at least 8 inches deep. From what I have read here I was like... Ok It's deep....Then at about a foot deep I found an old safety pin. I'm hooked on the deepness of this machine. Even if I didn't have it gb'd right it is a killer at depth.

I don't know if you can relate. But, I detected around my yard and I found stuff my other tectors missed. I guess what has me stoked is all the stuff I had missed with my 505. My 1st best dig was a penny pocket spill. 2 '64's n a '67. Not old but missed by about a million times by my bh.

Here is where it gets good. On my wish list is anything guns. Later in the evening I found a gun butt plate. I also found another piece that looks gun related. I know there has to be more cause it seems to be a trash pit I found. Gotta be a barrel in there. Then it was getting dark and the bugs r bad here at night. I don't have a camera yet but I'll borrow one soon.

Tesoro rocks

I agree they can go deep. After deep soaking rains I have gotten the halos off iron and dug almost 2 feet after old metal. Learn the broken chatter but some big iron is to hard to resist on the signal. Have fun and happy hunting.

I have never heard an Vaq owner say this.

"VAQUERO'S STINK!"

I have never heard an Vaq owner say this.

I like that.

Can't say anything bad about the vaq.
The more u use it, the better it gets.

I think that they get smarter!!!!! a few goodies taken with mine.

I hunted out my old yard with my cibola and found tons of stuff. I then bought a vaquero not thinking that their would be much left and it was like a virgin yard again. Ground balance is nice to have in tough soil.

Tesoro gets the job done without all the bells and whistles and I like that. I'm not one who likes spending 30 minutes setting up my detector when I get to a site.
The only problem with owning your first Tesoro is you are going to want more of them.....not that it is a problem, but it can get you in trouble with the better half....lol
Enjoy your Tesoro..... you made a great choice.
