Which Four Tesoro Machines?

Siver Sabre uMax

Sand Shark

Vaquero

Toltec 100 - This was a terribly heavy detector but very capable. The one I had had a smooth mellow sound on gold. No other detector I've owned had such a distinctive sound.
 

Which one is the most easy to learn how to use? I am asking about the detectors, and not ladies.

I've only used these to include the Golden Umax, Compradre and the Cortez but I didn't use these long enough to say.
I just traded for another Vaquero.

The Compadre only has one knob, but I've not seen any of the difficult although I couldn't adjust the Gold Umax correctly for some reason.
 

Let us stick to one subject. Which Tesoro model will go the deepest for buried treasures, but not deep enough for a 2 box detector?:occasion14:
 

Terry, do not ask me, since I cannot afford more then one detector. I hope that you visit me soon.

giving the choice in purchasing one detector, price is no problem, for single coins and buried treasures in Connecticut. Vaqiero, or Cortes. which one is the easiest one to learn and use?

Vaquero would be my choice. It is the most versatile and has a good am threshold. If you want a screened machine it would be a Tesoro I'd recommend.

Sam, get the Vaquero with 11" x 8" Coil.
 

I am total confused. I though the higher price, the better detector. Cortes cost from Tesoro, $849.00, and the price for Vaquero is $525.00. Therefore why is the Cortes in not the better detector for deep single coins and buried treasures? I got until April or May to make up my mind.
 

Sometimes you pay more for features but the performance isn't on par with lesser priced detectors such as the Vaquero. The Vaquero just happens to out perform a lot of detextors even twice it's price imo.
 

My friends, I believe and trust you. Vaquero is for me, next April or May. Thanks.

got the vaquero a few years back. i never even touched a detector before it. compared to other machines people run in a club i'm in, it works really well. only two of us use tesoros. another guy got a tejon this spring and that is all he uses now. i'd say about half use the at-pro. a lot of minelab e-tracs and a few ctx3030's. you know, they dont find anything more than i, or the tejon guy does. a few of the minelab guys even run these coils the size of a jumbo pizza with a bunch of gear hanging off of them. they look like their going to hit the beach for another invasion of France or something. its kinda funny...
