My son and I both have Eldorado's. They are great all purpose detectors and work great for coin shooting. Once you get the hang of the disc. it works great. I haven't used the bandido but have heard great things about it. Both detectors hold their value well and sell fast on E-bay.
The most obvious difference between tha Eldorado and tha Bandido II uMax
is that the Eldorado has a true ED-180 discriminator and tha Bandido II uMax
has an ED-120 discriminator.
I have not used a Bandido, but I like tha Eldorado a lot. I just guess that I
would perfer tha ED-180 over tha ED-120.
I had an Eldorado and later I opted for tha Euro Sabre because of tha
" Iron ID " feature. I have 4 other Tesoro'es at this time.
Thay say that tha older Bandido'es were smoother than tha Bandido II uMax
in iron.
