Will Tesoro Release A New Machine in 2016?

[Hobojo]

I don't need a "new" machine V44, I am very happy with the detectors I have. I went through a lot of brands and models over the last 40-years, and I have discovered that since 1995 or so, no "REAL" improvements have been made in VLF tech. I have a gold nugget VLF and PI, I have a saltwater PI, I have a relic machine and a coin and jewelry machine. The key is learning the machine you have. New finds in old places don't always mean a new machine is better or deeper. It usually just means you missed it the first, second, and 50th time you detected there.

How true Terry. And by the way let me know when they change radio frequencies into some other kind of frequency. VFL will always be what it is. The MBS machine my wife has still use's VFL to get the job done. You can only process a signal X amount of times, the info will always be what it is. Im glad I started with the Tesoro brand it has given me a much better grasp on what to expect from a metal detector.
As for me I love my Outlaw and tolerate my Xterra 705. Tesoros really do keep it fun and exciting, there is so much friggin information overload in my life its nice to pick up a tool that I can trust to tell me the way it really is, "hey Mr bonehead dig here" and what do you know it's usually something good!

Do any of you ever consider that Tesoro may be exactly where they WANT to be? Maybe they don't care to be the "latest/greatest" or biggest?

I was self-employed for half my life. Had half a dozen employees at one time. Know what it got me? Headache. Know how much gross profit I lost after getting rid of them all? None. I made the same working alone, as I did with the added expense/hassles of employees.

Here, I'll settle this. Tesoro will never release a new MD, ever. There, now that's settles, let start complaining about something else. Hangnail anyone?

I find it laughable, as many times as I've mentioned it, that NOT ONE SINGLE PERSON has addressed why they just don't start their own company and show Tesoro how it's done. You no like capitalism Bro?

Sounds like you did not do something right. I always made more with a few extra guys. Some just are not cut out to be in business for themselves I guess...

Not that it has anything to do with the thread, but I'm retired, and not yet 60. Sorry to disappoint, I must have done something right.

I agree with this. I also was self employed most of my life and had employees. I experienced the same thing when I went to a business that required NO employees. My profits went up and the surprises when I got to work were gone!

The only reason people are discussing this is due to Nathan Jaeger (spelling?) 2 years ago, posting to ask people for names, & features they would like relating to a new detector. Then posting again saying it will be named Cazador, leading people to believe that a new model was indeed in the works. Nobody expressed a desire to start their own company to compete with Tesoro. People are just wondering why Tesoro would say something and not go through with it & not offer any info as to whether the "Hunter" will ever be produced.

Don't be surprised to see the new Tesoro machine with a 'Whites' decal on it.

yeah, i know. the first reply since from this Nathan on the other forum was when the rumors were going around that tesoro was going to sell. the second was that drunkin rant sounding one that was off the wall and quite pathetic. yet, not one thing about the detector other than, it's still in the works. seems odd that right after the name vote, tesoro completely shut down on social media. thats what i think the discontent is about. not about how long its taking. just going on their facebook page, on the forums now and then, to keep the majority of people interested. the guy on here that coined it "vaporware" is the only realistic thing that i have heard about it. look up the definition and then can you honestly say that is not what this whole thing sounds like.

 

[Keppy]

I am sure that TESORO will release a new detecter some time........

 

[Terry Soloman]

Well, Tesoro did not release the "Cazador" for Christmas, so I was forced to take my old Silver uMax (equipped with the new 11" x 8" Widescan coil) out once again. Tesoro's old technology didn't even enter my mind as I set the discrimination to near Max, and started sweeping for silver and clad. Nothing but modern clad on the ball field after 30-minutes, two-quarters and a couple of pennies, so I turned my attention to the woods that surround it.

BINGO! A 1937 Washington, and a Standing Liberty with no date among the leaves and tree roots! Darn that old Tesoro technology and poor engineering!

 

[tabman]

Terry, nice going on the silver! I just can't put my Tesoro detectors down long enough to use my so called high-tech detectors. Tesoros are so much fun to use!

Nope, they should go buy what they like, and stop whining because a manufacturer didn't build something specifically suited to their special snowflake entitlements.

LOL, since you edited while I was typing:

Then go buy something manufactured by one of those other companies. Whining isn't going to force Tesoro to push a new model out of their rear ends. I swear, I think some people like to hear themselves complain.

I like to hear people try to defend Tesoro. It interests me why they feel the need to do so. I don't really care if Tesoro ever does squat. I am not a brand fan boy. My point has always been people will buy other products. I added two different machines to the fray this Xmass. The whole subject matter wasn't about if Tesoro made machines that people liked. It was about will they come out with something new. Two years ago, Tesoro asked for a name for their new detector. So Tesoro, What happened? Did you run into patent problems? Finances went South? Just wanted to pull everybody's leg? Fess up already. If I led someone to believe that I was going to do something, after two years people would want to know what happened to the plan.
I often do edit my posts. Sometimes I have to reconsider if I am talking a point of interest or just trying to repay insults with more of the same. Fighting fire with fire is OK I guess if you really want to burn.
I retired at 55, (6 years ago).

 

[Hobojo]

Sweet finds Terry.

 

[DannyB1954]

There are a lot of people that still swear by Compass metal detectors. Who needs anything more? Lots of them on Ebay still in circulation.
Somebody may even still be repairing them. That doesn't mean they are still in business.

 

[Billinoregon]

Wow, I had a Compass X-70, I think it was, many years ago. Had forgotten about it. Think they were made in Portland, OR.

 

[Davers]

Only Time will tell.

 

[Crappies-n-Coins]

Not "defending" Tesoro, not my place to. My point was, all this whining is pointless. Tesoro isn't here, so it's not like you or anyone else is going to get a reply from them in one of these threads about it.

Soloman mention to go call them, ask them when they're going to release a new detector. If you do, come back and post what they said. The best way to get a straight answer is straight from the source.

I retired over 10 years ago.

i just am not seeing the legend grows part. that must be an old banner or something.

Not true...a new Tesoro machine is most definitely stuff of legend.

Terry Solman should ask Vince Gilford to read and response to questions and comments on Tesoro forums.

I believe Vince passed away over a year ago (God rest his soul). Please correct me if I am mistaken.
