If you could own Four Tesoro metal detectors, which Four, would you choose? If you want to say why, great! If not, just list the Four machines you would pick in the order of MOST wanted, to less.

I'll kick it off:

1) Lobo SuperTRAQ
2) Sand Shark
3) Cortes
4) Vaquero

Had to slightly change my original list.

1. Compadre: Best all around shallow hunter that is also the best gold jewlery finder out there.

2. Sand Shark: Only PI detector backed by a lifetime warranty, greats great depth, and offers an easily accessable volume control.

3. Vaquero: fro deeper coin and jewlelry hunting.

That's it. I think my arsenal would be complete. If I ever moved to gold country, I'd probably get a Lobo too.

I have a tried a bunch of detectors over the years. I always came back to Tesoro. I'm pretty brand loyal now, I guess.
