Loving This Cortes

Just a quick post to say that I am loving this Cortes! I cant see any reason why I would ever even try another detector. I also learn many things from all the post here on Tnet. If your considering getting a Cortes my advice is go for it! Do what ever it takes. You wont be disappointed! Keep posting all the good info everybody. Tesoro simply rocks!

Can't beat Tesoro's lifetime guarantee and they do make really good products. I know a lot of folks very happy with their Tesoros. Glad you are enjoying yours!

I am just waiting for my dealer to get a used Cortes back from the factory so I can purchase it. I can't wait to get it, and when I do, and if spring ever gets here I will give a first impression. Not that I am an expert ,but Ive owned a few detectors, but never a Tesoro.
Think spring,

Hey Shane, I know that you graduated from the school of Deleon, what is the biggest advantage for you, that the Cortez has over the Deleon?

Manual GB, and I love the sum feature. When I get what I think is a good target I thumb the spring loaded switch over into sum and it's then a multi tone. I'm getting really accustomed to the different tones and what they are confirming. I pay attention more to the sounds than the numbers. I have found many more nickels with the Cortes, not so much because of the detector as I am digging more in the nickel range. It can say it's a nickel on the number but in sum it will give a distinct tone for nickel vs pull tab. On the Deleon I had 44 was always a nickel, on this machine it's almost always a 39. Makes me wonder if each were just tuned a bit different?

Keep posting your discoveries and what you learn about the Cortes, Shane. I can only practice with mine in the basement until the snow is gone here. I did try yesterday to figure out where Indian Head pennies fell because there's a lot where I hunted last fall, looks like upper 60's, between 64 and 68 mostly.

My very 1st metal detector was a Tesoro Golden Sabre plus with the metal box. Bought that in 1989 and used that baby to find MANY great things. Although i do use a Minelab most of the time i still go back to "Ole Trusty" every now and then.

I did buy my dad a Cortes' and he loves it also. His first detector was also a Tesoro Golden Sabre II. Which is also still kicking today..

You really cant beat Tesoro's warranty program. Even after 20 years with my GS+ they still tune it, calibrate it and send it back within weeks. Love that Tesoro...
