I Have A Question

How deep are you boys getting with either the cortes or the vacareo.

I think max 7" on a dime in the ground, Cortes. But all the features on the Cortes make it a nice detector to use.

I am getting some pretty deep stuff with the Vaquero, even with the small 5.5" coil. I have gotten coins at 7" with not much problem in dirt, of course, more than that in sand at the beaches, kiddie parks, etc. I would imagine with the stock 8x9" coil, or the 8" concentric, I could go deeper than that. I find that this machine hits very hard on nickels, tabs, and gold, which is pretty much to be expected from any Tesoro machine. Unfortunately, it loves crusty zinkers too, I got a bucket full of non-spendable, holey, or bent ones already, and I've had this machine for about 1 year now. Even as high as nickel discriminate level or even at pulltab level, this machine can still deliver the goods on deep coins - which is pretty impressive to me. I've gotten some deep silvers from worked out places using it, and I'm quite happy with it so far.

The Vaquero has the HOT circuitry so it's higher in sensitivity, thus usually going to give better depth.

Never used a Vaquero but a 9" dime should be easier than the Cortes. Used Cortes a lot and I think with boost cranked and center coil a 9" dime is possible to sound off on. 7" dime ID easily. Why they don't make an H.O.T with T.I.D. and G.B. is beyond me...
