Tesoro's are one of the best brands in the area of target separation and rapid recovery.
The 3300 is a good machine, it is a cousin to my F2, but it is well known that the recovery speed is not one of the features that anyone ever brags about.
The Tesoro's are way, way faster.
When I wanted to pick out a brand with a screen to also use the most important thing for me was to find a brand that matches the Tesoro's in this area and these 2 areas are still the most important features I look for on any detector I purchase.
Many that hunt pounded fields with much higher end machines have gone back with even the bottom line Compadre and find more targets that all others missed because they can pick through trash and iron.
They don't chatter on targets like yours or even my Fishers, but if your disc is set right you will pick up all targets no matter how many or how close.
The audio is a wonder in itself and those that never used them or did but never learned to understand the language keep saying these are beep and dig machines but that is far from the truth.
The language is full and rich and you might not believe how much information you can get from just that one tone, and by manipulating the disc knob on the 2 that I own, a Compadre and a Vaquero, I can tell much about most targets, whether they could be good or probably trash, and I have learned to do it to a degree that comes close if not matches the guesses that my Fishers give me with the information on the screen and in the audio clues.
There is indeed a difference in the sound between shallow and deep targets when at certain and normal settings, but on my Vaq if I supertune that thing will not have so much of that volume modulation but will reach depths close to the center of the earth.
Like any brand some "get" what the Tesoro language is and learn to understand it, some never do and knock them.
As much as that happens there is a huge amount of hunters that use these, love them and learned to use them well and go on to find just as much as the other units with meters and screens.
Learning to hunt with sound only can only be an asset to you no matter what types you choose to swing now or in the future.
Also, I think they are just a blast and so much fun to use it should be outlawed.
The vid is a short vid showing the target separation of my F2 and my 7" coil Compadre in a very trashy site.
There is some falsing going on with the F2, that is just the nature of the beast.
All the signals you hear using the Compadre are actual, real targets under the coil.
All Tesoros will work in a similar manner.
