I put my new Tesoro Vaquero together this morning, and took it for its maiden hunt at a sports field here in town where I have found gold and silver in the past. I found it to be very easy to ground balance, and super sensitive in All Metal - almost exactly like the Lobo Super Traq. I have over 3,000-hours on the Lobo Super Traq, and just over 400-hours on the Cibola, so the transition to the Vaquero was very easy.
Once I was comfortable that I had it set up properly, I turned on the discrimination, and set it just below Nickel. My first target with the new machine was a key at 3" and I was so happy it was not a pulltab! Soon after, I hit a mellow mid-tone that turned out to be 1965 (so close) Quarter at about 7" For the next hour-and-twenty-minutes I gridded a 50’x 25’ area of the field and got a feel for the Vaquero, and how to “Supertune” it.
I had a couple of cool finds, a 1992 English 10-Pence coin, a small Sterling silver ring, an old arcade token, and $3.57 in clad. I am a very happy new Vaquero owner.
