comparing brands

[101numlock]

I bought a whites dfx when they first hit the market, before that i owned a QXT and i loved them bother esp. the DFX until my dad bought a tesoro Vaquero detector and i used it while he was driving an eighteen wheeler. I find the tesoro is way more stable and much deeper than my dfx to the point that i don't even use it anymore. Do i have a bad unit or is this par. Like i said i have owned whites machines for approx 6 years, but until now i didn't have anything else to compare to. I would like to hear others opinions on there experiences with other brands. Please everyone be nice i am not here to start a brand war. Thanks for your time

Not much to compare between a DFX and a Vaquero. Totally different detectors. I have a friend that has a DFX and likes it. I just have tesoros and like them. We both find good things. I say, use what you like, and dont worry about whether someone elses detector is better than yours. I may try some other detectors someday, but not because they are better, just because I want to try something new. That just my 2 cents.

best wishes,

J.

Hello 101numlock.....without a doubt, the Vaquero is one of the quickest in recovery time, thus one of the best at target separation. Much like the original ElDorado, it is hard to beat in that category. Iron rejection is good, but if you are hunting old indian wars battle sites like I do, I don't want to miss any of the iron trade points, so I keep the discrim very low. I have dug eagle buttons as deep as 10", an 1852 Colt Revolver at 16", and coins regularly down in the 8" to 12" range. The Vaquero is one hot machine, and unlike the old ElDorado, it doesn't wear your arm out in a day of hunting. I also have owned the DFX, and I don't believe there is any comparison with Vaquero's ability to see deeper, be more stable, and respond quicker.
