Hey everyone in a few months I will be heading to Va beach for a week of beer, babes, and well beach hunting. I have a Tesoro Conquistidor thats about 10 years old now. My question is to anyone who has used one. How well does this machine do in the salt and black sand? Im hoping to be able to upgrade machines before then but cannot count on it. Any thoughts? Recommendations?

Thanks in advance

klava,
Check on the Tesoro forum here. There area few really knowledgable guys on it that can help you out. Right off the bat, you probably will be ok on dry sand. It is the wet sand and water where the problems occur for the land detectors. Good luck on the 3 B's in VA Beach.
