Okay, I think I covered all the post, a general scan anyway and I didn't see any mention of a "Low Battery Warning" here are some ideas for that. (not all of the below, just select one)

1- A single red LED that would lite up when the batteries reach the regulated voltage.

2- My cordless drill has a set of three tiny LED's, Green, Yellow, and Red, Green is full power, Yellow the power is dropping but operation is good, Red is low and batteries need to be replaced.

3- An audio alert when the batteries get low, like an alarm (My Coinstrike rings something like a telephone)

4- Or a simple four bar LCD.

Okay, moving on.
No Detector should have a thumb button on the front panel for Pin-Pointing!! this just a Bad Idea! give it a finger toggle below the control housing and in front of the grip. The thumb button takes away to much of your grip. Change it to a toggle and in the old location you can install the "Low Battery" alert system.

Next, is the ground balance problem some seem to have, I'm okay with what's on my Tejon, but I had a detector one time that had some type of geared ground balance knob (Factory). It worked like this,
It had two knobs, one larger knob at the base, then up through the center of its shaft was a smaller knob, the larger knob made rough adjustments, the little knob was the "Fine Adjust". The fine adjust actually turned the larger knob but MUCH more controlled. You could turn the fine adjust a BUNCH before you could really see the larger knob turn.

Bring back the CleanSweep coils for at least the Tejon!

Another thing I think would be good and both my brother and I would buy is a "Sharp Shooter Coil" keep as much depth as you can and make it somewhere around the 3.5" to 4" range. These are wonderful in smaller areas or in High Trash areas. Or make a double loop coil that has a "Sharp Shooter Center" and a toggle to select the Outer Loop/Sharp Shooter loop.

How about a good volume control system for the headphone out jack?

I don't really care about color near as much as function!!!, but if color options would increase market sales, then how about control housing "Skins" somewhat like cellphones use? or those vinyl static clean skins?

That's all I got.

Lots of good ideas for features, I agree with Mark a battery status led would be nice. In addition, what about a alkaline/rechargeable switch operating a usb port, so folks that use rechargeable AA's would have the option of not having to remove the batteries to recharge. This would allow a hunter in the field to charge or top off batteries with a universal cell phone charger that everyone has now. The USB port could probably also be used to power a bluetooth transmitter for wireless headphone use and also power a cellphone in an emergency. Also if not already mentioned, I prefer the darker brown and black coil colors over the white.

Mark,

Tesoro has the 18x3 cleansweep coil for the Tejon on their site.

For awhile it was mark as unavailible, because they had to make a coil winding form for their coil machine (I was told by Tesoro).

1. On the Vaquero swap out the freq toggle control for an all metal/disc control and eliminate the all metal feature off the disc dial.
 
Not an owner yet, but will buy a Compadre when the time comes but my first impression on it when someone suggested it and I looked at a picture of it I was not impressed so I did not look into one, probably because I had been looking at machines that had screens, meter and all kinds of bells and whistles. Not until I found the Tesoro forum and stared to read about them was I impressed with them, also you hardly ever hear about them as you do Fisher, Garret, White and some of the high end stuff so maybe a little more product information out is the world is what is needed. As far as I can tell right now I think the Compadre that has interchangeable disks instead of being hardwired and also be able to wade in shallow water also would be nice. Now this is coming from someone who does not even own one yet but is my observation on the subject.
 
1. 2 tones for analogs for ...(NO)
2. 3.tones for analogs for...(NO)

VCO "birds songs! for Tejon first!!!!

I might as well throw my two centavos in while I'm lurking here and catching up on the Tesoro chat. First of all, I really dig the European model colors and decals; black looks much nicer than brown or purple if you ask me, so that would be great. As far as a new machine goes; well I would like to see what you get when you cross/breed a Golden umax to a Vaquero then cross that offspring to a Cortes or Deleon then also somehow come out with a machine that is also waterproof and multiple frequencies running at the same time. In otherwords: multi-tones from the Golden, Deep HOT technology from the vaquero, manual or auto trac GB, I nice large VDI screen with confidence meters to assist the tones your ears are receiving, a trigger toggle switch would also be nice for pin pointing or a coin check switch like some of the Troy machines had, waterproof if possible, multiple frequencies running at the same time (great in salt), fast recovery speed along with those frequencies and all of it in a package that runs off of a single 9 volt battery as I don't really care for the Cortes/Deleon set up of 8 AA's under the arm. Keeping the best warranty in the business is a must as well. I know it's a tall order that seems an all in one machine but that is what the market is gearing towards with some of the competition. If I could just have a few of my favorite things then I would say tones, digital readout and ground balance.

I just send a deposit in so I would be the first to get one. It really looks like it will work for me. Looks lightweight unlike my older model.
 
Bring back the eldorado Umax with three tones, you should be able to do that rather quickly, looking at the used market for the eldo umax, this should be a good seller. By simpley adding the three tones to an excellent, well liked detector, that allready has manual ground ballance in both modes this should buy time to develop other detectors. My simple fast 2 cents worth.
 
You have now bewlidered the minds of Tesoro company owners & employees................
They are confused as to what step to take next, they have delayed the deployment date of the two new detectors that were to come out.
You'll have to wait some more. In the mean time Tesoro started up a Volleyball Team http://www.tesorovolleyball.com/

New names of the detectors that will be made were accepted from the Volleyball Team members:
Tesoro Frosh
Tesoro JV1
Tesoro Dig
Tesoro PassSet
Tesoro Titan

Gives me time to save up some more coinage. Going to spend some of the saved money on a new oscilloscope
which will reveal some curvy wave forms........................

A simple dual-mode Tesoro, like the Nautilus DMC2B. All metal (constant threshold tone) with beeps for non-ferrous targets. Cibola would be a good platform.

I might add, well balanced too.
 
Okay, I stated that I would like to see a smaller coil option for the Tejon (or the delta Group of detectors) then I find this coil that I believe to be for the earlier Lobo/Diablo and I'm thinking "PERFECT" for the Tejon, its 3.5"x 7". I want one! this thing would be wonderful for working smaller trashier areas.
I would even settle for an adapter or filter to adapt it to the Delta Group.

HELP!

Mark
 
There was a 7" elliptical concentric for the Lobo Super Trac, but only a few were made. I'm told by a reliable source that it was hard to fabricate and that they had a lot of failures in the field. I don,t think they will go,down that road again.
 
Well, then the Delta Series needs a 3.75" sniper coil!

Totally agree. The eldo is a producing monster.:twodetecting: :canadaflag:

Read your responce to the request for some new things in a flagship detector, and agree totally. I would love to see a multiple tone machine like a ML Sovereign, but at 2.;2 lbs and with a screen. Any further thoughts?
