I do not know much about it other than it was introduced in 1988.
There is also a Toltec 100 and a Toltech Ii.
The Toltec II had the control box under the armcuff and a separate meter in front of the hand grip.

The Toltec 80 is a high performance VLF/TR discriminator which features a Target Identifier circuit which reads the phase angel of the target and displays the probable Target Identity on the front mounted meter. The Toltec also features a meter reading of Coin Depth when in the All Metal mode of operation.
The Toltec 80 has two basic search modes. 1) Normal Discriminate mode, and 2) The All Metal mode. The Discriminate mode is based on ultra slow motion, and requires that just a very slight motion be present to operate properly. The Target ID features is very handy to help you identify pulltabs prior to digging them, and learning how to use the meter ID will keep you from digging many of these tabs, while you can still find nickels and small gold rings.
The All Metal mode is not motion based, and has been adjusted at the factory for use in even the worst kind of minerals. Normal ground will have a slight positive reaction as the searchcoil is lowered.
A separate optional Body Mounting kit is available for rapidly converting the detector to the body mount configuration. The detector is furnished with an 8 1/2" concentric searchcoil, but any of the Tesoro searchcoils will operate properly, except that the coin depth reading may be in error if used with other coils.

@fwcrawford and @JimmyCT Thank both of you for the response I did contact the person that supposedly had the Toltec 80 he was a SCAMMER even went as far as giving me a phone number which did not even match up with his location could, when I called him I could literally hear a bunch of other people in the background talking, I went in to Facebook and informed the Admins the person is a SCAMMER apparently I am not the only one that reported the person because shortly after I reported it the post was removed

I was not intending to purchase it anyways so no fear of getting taken LOL I just wanted to get a feel for the person that listed it so I could warn others if it turned out to be a scam which it was.
