If your ground is mineralized then you will want to stick to the models with manual ground balancing.
The Lobo is designed for gold prospecting, the Cibola and Golden are both preset ground balance which, like Monkeywrangler said, you don't want if you have highly mineralized soil. That leaves the Vaquero.
The Vaquero is easy to learn and use and it should get you decent depth compared to other detectors in its price range.
Welcome to the forum and good luck with your decision.

You will get all the depth that you need with the Vaquero or Cibola, just choose the right one for your soil conditions.

the vaquero is like an eldorado on steroids. Either would serve you well but the vaquero should get a bit more depth since it uses H.O.T. coil and circuitry....The tejon, vaquero and cibola all use H.O.T circuits and are supposedly able to get a bit more depth than previous models. H.O.T.=high output technology
