Looking for some help in deciding on a detector. Have spent quite a lot of time researching various brands and watching YouTube vids and am leaning towards a Tesoro. I was thinking about the AT Pro or the F5 for a long time but I like the "nobs" and the fine tuning adjustments that analog provides. From what I have read and seen, Tesoro seems to be very good at this.
Having said that, I was thinking about either the Vaquero or the Golden Umax. I like the reported depth and manual GB on the V. I also like the Notching feature on the Max. I have watched 53silver's vids and I think it is amazing how the Umax can discriminate and notch out the foil, and make the alum tabs "churpy" without losing the gold rings (or at least some of them). But the Umax seems to not have the depth of some of the other Tesoros (probably because of the factory set GB).
Or perhaps I should wait for Tesoro's new detector this spring? By the way, the feedback forum for ideas on the new machine has closed but I wanted to suggest something, just in case Tesoro is still listening...
why not take the Golden Umax, give it manual GB (maybe give it a "click" stop at the counter-clock wise turn, which would turn manual GB off and the factory set GB on?). Also give it the long trigger/toggle under the control box that the Tejon has, but utilize the toggle to activate pin-pointing (instead of the red button on the front, you could put the GB nob in its place). In the forward direction, the toggle could activate the "iron audio feature" (so that you could hear discriminated iron and better ID those steel bottle caps), you know what I mean... that feature "the other brand" offers but which I think you have in the lobo and your Europe models. Give it the power of the V or the Tejon and you would have one killer machine.
Back to reality, I would appreciate some insight and feedback on my original question.... should I go with the golden umax, the vaquero, or wait for the new machine?
