I just went and got a teknetics alpha 2000. It was only 200 , it works better than my buddy's ace. You could buy a pro pointer with the left over money

Cibola! Hands down! I own an Ace 350 and a Cibola. You can super tune Cibola for really great depth compared to 350.

Cibola. Call Tom at Miller MDZ for a great price. He is one of our forum sponsors and sells Tesoro. Second choice would be the Tesoro Silver uMax.

The weight difference is a big deal after 2-3 hours in 90 deg heat at middle age. The cibola feels like a feather, almost toylike, but it's quite a machine for the money. I've been comparing it with my Vaquero and haven't seen an incredible difference in the good soil area I'm in. Will be beach testing Vaquero shortly along with Sand Shark!

Fletch88, I just purchased the Vaquero from Ground Pirate on t-Net and got a super deal. I too have a Sand Shark and would be interested in hearing how your beach tests went.

Swing what you can afford and enjoy the addiction. Use your treasure finds to upgrade later.
