When I was looking for information on the Cortes before buying it, I did not find really good information about the detector. I decided to buy it and I'm glad I did. I love it. I haven't had it long but am getting as much time as I can on it. Many of the Videos I found on You Tube were in a foreign language. They look like good videos but not useful to me so I've decided to make some videos myself. As I learn more, the information should get better, but for now I'll do what I can with what I've learned.

Here are two videos that I just posted that contains some info about the Cortes and I plan on making more videos soon. If you have any ideas on what I should put in the videos, please let me know. Thanks.

Part 1

Part 2

Super video! Thanks for sharing.

You might want to give this orange duct tape a try. It's easy to tell what is what at a quick glance.

That's a cool idea. I saw this on the web or in a video somewhere so I've used it on my detector already. If this was your idea, great one! Thanks for the comment.

For what it's worth, I've found that bouncing coin indications that don't lock on to one denomination on the Cortes and the DeLeon are always worth digging as 75 - 80% of the time it will turn out to be a coin spill and on either machine NEVER pass up a "95" reading.

For some reason you don't hear of many swinging a Cortes...Many don't like the small screen and the id does not seem to break down the numbers well....I have one because it was selling for a deal that I could not pass up. Got to try it one day...May even like it..

I find that having the coin number mostly 95 is fine with me because I really don't care if it a dime, quarter etc. I'm going to dig it and know what it is in about one min. I like that other metals are spread out more in the lower numbers cause I can get an idea then what it could b. It's all just more information for me. The display is small but I really don't have a problem with it, I can tell what is on it ok. The only solution for Tesoro would b to use a bigger box jus for a larger display an I like the small control box. But that's just me... LOL I'm loving it so far.

The '95' ID number could be either be a silver dime, quarter or half dollar. I'm digging.

If someone didn't want to dig silver dimes they look at the bar graph and it will correctly ID a silver dime from a silver quarter.

Like you say, "I really don't care if it a dime, quarter etc".
