Opinion: What is the best Tesoro coinshooter?

[Coinstriking Michigan]

I think I have settled on a Tesoro as my next detector and I'm actually considering all Tesoro detectors. I've heard that the Tejon is deep but better for relic hunting as opposed to coinshooting. I am strictly a coinshooter and was curious which one would be the best for that.

Thanks

All the Tesoro's are good coin shooters. The Tejon and those above it just have more features than the lower priced ones. The Cibola and those below it just don't have any ground balance which only limits their ability if you have bad ground. I especially like the Tejon for its notch feature which I set to disc out pull tabs and accept everything else. This way I can only disc out Iron with first disc knob and if I get a beep, I can pull the trigger to use the 2nd. disc knob. If the target is silent I can choose to either pass up a possible pull tab/gold ring or dig it. If you don't use the 2nd disc setting all targets beyond your first disc setting call out as good or ( more conductive).

Thanks for the info and opinions guys. I have determined it will either be a Golden Umax or a Vaquero....I like the lifetime warranty of Tesoro's and the ability to quickly change descrimination.

I used to have a Vaquero and it was very good.I have nothing but good about the Golden UMAX.

I've read good things about the golden umax as well, I would imagine you could really fine tune it with the notch width.
