    Advice on AT pro purchase for a Tesoro guy

    Hey all, I am primarily a Tesoro guy who is considering an AT Pro as a complimentary addition to my Vaquero.

    anyone use the 12x10 widescan coil on a Vaquero or Cutlass II?

    Just wondering if provides a noticeable increase in performance (depth) over the stock coil. With the stock coil so far it seems my Vaq can hit a silver dime at a max of about 7-8". The deepest ones I have found at those depths are mostly repeatable but slightly broken. I can tell that the...

    Vaquero or Tejon?

    deep hunting in bad ground with XLT

    Hello all, I am a Tesoro guy that bought an XLT about 6 weeks ago. Like many of you, I mainly hunt for silver coins.

    Problem with all metal/pinpointing mode on my XLT

    The last 2 times out my XLT would work fine for 1/2 hour to an hour then the pinpointing/all metal mode (single tone pinpoint) would quit working. I would pull the trigger and nothing would happen. After that, the mode would sound only occasionally after several tries. I know there was a target...

    Anyone have experience with a Cutlass II?

    I am looking for an inexpensive tesoro for a backup and found someone selling a Cutlass II. Don't know much about the Cutlass but it looks similar to the Bandito or Compadre. It also looks to be compatible with my Golden Sabre II and can share coils with it. What I don't know is how it performs...
