Eldorado vs. Vaquero

[HighPlainsHunter]

Is the Vaquero that much better than the Eldorado to justify an upgrade? I'm a relic/coin hunter in pasture/field conditions.

Thanks for any discussion, or opinions.

Anybody? What about the Tejon vs. Eldorado?

HighPlainsHunter,

O.K., I'll give you my "two cents". The Eldorado is an O.K. detector but in my opinion it's not a classic. By that I mean it does not really have any outstanding qualities that do or will make it a preferred machine now or in the future. I see that you are wanting to compare both the Vaquero and the Tejon to the Eldorado. Tesoro has two "families " in their detector line up. The uMax models and the "Hot technology" machines. for the kind of hunting you say you are doing I think the HT machines would work for you. Probably your best bet would be the Tejon. It's a super relic machine and crosses over nicely to a coin hunter. I'm a Tesoro dealer so if you need any help with your purchase let me know. If you have any other questions I would be glad to help.

Listen to Joe The HT detectors are super relic finders and they have a lot of accessory coils for all types of hunting.

Joe, how does the Vaquero stack up in that mix?

dogcaught & HighPlainsHunter,

O.K., I got a little off track with what the original question was. No, I would not suggest an upgrade from the Eldorado to the Vaquero. The Vaquero will have a slight edge in depth in some situations but the two detectors are so similar in features that I don't think I would suggest an upgrade unless you are in love with the Eldorado and want a backup detector that is similar to it. The only upgrade in the Tesoro line that would make sense is the Tejon. Joe
