Cortes or a different detector?

[DigDugNY]

As a few of you may know, I've been trying to trade my detector for another one, but that really isnt working so I came up with a new idea. Im getting financial aid money back from my college, and after I put some into my savings account and save some for next semester I will have enough to spend around $700 or $800 on a detector. I dont really want to try and save a little more for an E-Trac or a Vision because Im only 19 and I dont want to spend that kind of money. I was thinking about getting a Tesoro Cortes, but is that too old of a detector to buy at this point in time just in case they come out with a new one? Would buying like a used explorer II, or DFX, or MXT be a better decision? If anybody has some options for me that would be nice.

Tesoro Vaquero is a nice choice for your likes and very capable.

I agree with all the above. But, read your other post. The F-75 is an awesome machine. If it's out of your price range then get the Vaquero, it too is an awesome machine. And if you buy the Vaq. you can save some of that money for college. That my friend is the most important part of your life right now.

Good Luck
