like the Inca, Pantera, the Golden Sabre series, Bandido and Bandido II, Silver Sabre and Silver Sabre II, and higher-frequency Lost ST, Vaquero and Tejón, can all provide performance in dense iron littered sites that is almost indescribable, there is something about my personal favorite Tesoro models that has made them such favorites. That is a continued ability to be 'simple' to operate with 'functional' settings that eliminate complexity and tweaking, yet continue to produce the level of performance that is really hard for the competitors to try and match in nasty trash.

Dang nice machine, i need one of those micro max machines myself hard to find anymore
And while my very loyal Bandido II w/6" Concentric coil mounted is always in my vehicle should I have to use space and trim to only one travel detector, it is the very light weight and handy [size=small]micro[/size]MAX favorites that I think everyone ought to experience and, certainly, own at least one of.
Those are the "turn-on-and-go" Silver Sabre µMAX and manually GB'ed Bandido II µMAX models with their ED-120 Discrimination, or the [size=small]micro[/size]-housed Eldorado that provides the added benefit of the ED-180 or all metal accept Zero Disc. adjustment. All three of these models are getting more and more difficult to find in good working order and very clean condition. Why, even you could have owned that showroom-condition Eldorado OregonGregg now possesses, and we just have to be ready to snap up a choice condition unit at any time.
From one fellow who listed a Silver Sabre µMAX on Craigslist, I snapped it up as well as a Bandido II µMAX ...
at very reasonable prices considering they are also in the same minty condition as Gregg's Eldorado. Both sport their own clean 6" Concentric search coils, and the only problem is they look so nice I hesitate to put them to use in some dirty and trash-filled old ghost towns I enjoy hunting. I guess that's why I grab my older Bandido II first, even though it is in very close to perfect condition as well.
I frequently get e-mails from people asking if I have an extra SS µMAX or B-II µMAX or Eldorado for sale, or want me to let them know when I find a clean specimen. These highly-desired and excellent micro-sized performers are definitely in demand, even today.
