I live in Norfolk and detect mostly in SE Virginia. I use Whites but am looking for a good backup machine for my brother when he comes up. I am looking to buy either the Tesoro Cibola (no GB) or the Tesoro Vaquero. I am leaning towards the Cibola for its faster sweeping speed. Any input from owner as to which they like better would be apprieciated.

Hi there, I can't speak for eather of the 2 detectors but would like to say that I just bought a Minelab SE about 6 weeks ago and have had great success with it. Both with relics and coins. I use to use a Fisher detector 5 years ago and am amazed a the technical advances that have been made. I detected an area that has been done hundreds of times and pulled a 1773 VA 1/2 penny. It was pretty deep also. About 15 inches. I'm sure you will have great success with either choice. Happy hunting.

Found a great site near Fort Eustis last year and got to hunt it a couple of times,found a few three ringers and two buttons and had barely scratched the surface, then Newport News parks and recreation bought the land and gave us a nice warning(still got the citation) that metal detecting on park property is not allowed. >:(
