An amazing detector...the height of simplicity. You will be detecting....not fiddling with controls.Really unusual in it's abilities to handle tough ground with no manual ground balance........................a detector that is not properly marketed. It hits our tough to detect Canadian clad ......with ease at depths that approach the MXT Whites.Yet in an air test it seems just "ok". Give it time and you will be pleasantly surprised. But change the coil..............standard coil sucks wind................get the brown 8" concentric coil .......that's the ticket!!!
 
It's deep. Very deep. I have bad red soil, and it was clearly deeper than my Vaquero, Bandido II, and Eldorado. Also deeper than my Teknetics Omega.

Yes, even with a fixed Ground Balance.

Great machines for coins. Wish I would have kept mine.
 
Definitely my coin hunter in my stable :)
 
In the UK they are called the 'Laser Hawkeye' a good reliable machine that constantly fills your finds pouch with decent find and that is basically all you want,not overly complicated,basically a switch on and go machine.
 
The perfect blend of digital and analog. In my opinion. This is the best Tesoro that I have used to date. Fast to set up and hunt with. And, still has a good analogy audio sound. Wish it had a no motion all metal that's about it.
 
You won't find a better detector to find coins and jewelry. I own one and wouldn't sell it for what I paid.
I love mine. It's deep enough, quiet, and doesn't lie. Once you spend around 40 hours with this machine you will find it amazing.

Easy operation. A Tesoro factory rep stated to me that the DeLeon might not be the best choice for the western states.
 
If you are in Western Canada our ground conditions are "tough" .......and our common clad coins are "tough" to detect................ it's "tough" to find the correct ground balance......................but the great equalizer is the DeLeon!!! And no ........I'm not a Tesoro dealer I simply love this detector and am trying to spread the word. A good product deserves credit !!! Wish Tesoro would give it more respect. But then again we know Tesoro has a bias against target id machines!

Every Tesoro dealer does... :poke:
 
I've found the DeLeon to be a blast to use and have done well with it. Depth is good, the display is good and I'm glad I traded for it several years back. I've never had ground problems with mine, but I do have several detectors with manual ground balance if I do. I originally wanted a Cortez thinking the DeLeon was a a "little sister" to it, but ran into a good trade. Have since added a Cortez to the stable and I like it well enough, but if I had to let one go it would probably be the Cortez.

Bill, why would you choose the DeLeon over the Cortes?
I really really like my DeLeon. Wouldn't sell it for what I paid. For this reason alone, I've thought: "Since the Cortes cost more, more bells and whistles, Inc GB, then it must be a super dooper machine."

So, I've thought about purchasing one in the near future.
Just wondering.
 
GB only affects all metal so disc would be preset just like Deleon
 
So really, no reason to spend upwards of $700.
 
Well it does have sum mode with many tones and notching, but being that I've never used it, I saw no reason.
I'd still like one. And I'll probably keep my eye out for one on the bay. They pop up fairly often. And usually for around $400
 
I'm with you Stefan, I'd like to have one, mostly because I like the D so much.
 
The display is larger and easier to read on the D and they both run in factory preset in disc mode so no advantage one over the other there. The Cortez does indicate dimes and pennies under their own marking, but any target that hits "95" on the D should be retrieved, regardless and that's where dimes end up. The Cortez does have manual ground balance in all metal, but most of us don't spend much time hunting in all metal so that's a moot point, as well.
