First off Tesoro makes fine detectors and the build quality and warranty are tops. Ideas on a new detector well here it goes with a little lead in to my point.
With most Tesoro detectors one must thumb the disk knob to help assist in telling maybe the type of item you are detecting this is cool and works the draw back in heavy trash that is so common now days is it takes a lot of time and you work the knob to death or spend all your time on your knees digging trash. Another issue is most Tesoro detectors are fixed ground balance other than the Outlaw, Vagero, and the Tejon. I do not care for fixed ground balance myself in the disk mode or the all metal.
With all this said in my opinion Tesoro needs build a light as possible detector with an adjustable ground balance with multi tone low for iron, mid and high tones. A detector that does well in iron trash with a fast recovery speed for working in trash with all the coil options. Now here is the big one for you guys VDI numbers, yes I know they are not always accurate but in a high trash situation on shallow tabs one can dig a bunch and realize most are coming in at say a 58 constantly on the VDI screen. After this a guy can glance at the VDI numbers because shallow targets lock good and move on past say the 58 number. This is faster and better than thumbing the knob to do the same thing in my humble opinion. A Tesoro detector like this would allow Tesoro to now compete with detectors like the Garrett AT Pro & Gold, Fisher, Technetics and the White's ID detectors and more than likely the Tesoro would keep up or maybe kick there butt or for sure compete toe to toe with them. ( a good thing yes??)
In summery
A solid light weight simple accurate VDI detector with ground balance capability's in disk and all metal modes that's good in iron, fast recovery speed with multi tone low, mid and high tones (water proof for shallow water here could be a big plus) Again I think this would open a hole new market for Tesoro but again this concept may run against what Tesoro has done well for years witch is build high quality light simple affective detectors.
Personally.
I loved my Vagero and my Tejon but in high trash they worked me to death and my Cortez was a fixed ground balance in disk mode (did not like that at all it should have been adjustable in disk mode) I do wish though I still had them all after the fact. My Garrett AT Pro does all the above well over all. Like I said above I wish Tesoro had a detector to compete here in this arena. The AT Pro is light and has all the features listed above and gives me the choices I need and like. I still dig most everything any way but the VDI and tone help in high trash just a little more info to help a guy along the way.
This is what I would like to see Tesoro do.
