Cortes comparison

[findit]

if i already have a cibola and vaquero would a Cortes really help me out any? i know it has tid but i like to hunt with sound only as i like to generally dig just about everything. i don't know if i could get used to relying on the meter knowing in the back of my mind it could be fooled. but does the Cortes have any other advantages over the others that would help? also would like to here some experiences with tid if anybody seen where it was fooled.

As is true with all TID machines the Cortes's meter is often fooled. It is just the nature of MDing. Canslaw often comes up in the $1 coin range, gold can be almost anywhere from iron to zinc pennies. I will say this though, after a little practice you usually have a pretty good idea if a target is good or not. The machine sounds in combination with the meter give you very good idea.

I don't think form all I have read about the Tesoro "Hot" machines like the C and V that the Cortes will get you any extra depth. In fact the C and V may be a little deeper than the Cortes.

I love my Cortes, the only reason I have considered purchasing an additional machine is to get some extra depth. IMO the perfect machine would be a Cortes with manual GB in both modes and the depth of the Tejon and the multi-tone capability of the Golden.

Back to your question, If you find value in the information the display can give, the Cortes is an excellent addition to your arsenal.

that's actually my idea of a perfect machine also

I would buy a machine like that from Tesoro without question. There are rumors circulating that Tesoro is working on a new TID machine. I think it's probably safe to assume it would have the HOT technology, but whether it will be multi-tonal is anyones guess.
