Not a problem. I think you and Chet would like each other and the post just got a little off course.Chet is a good person too.
It's sometimes hard to post a message and get your true meaning over to the other person.Thats all that happened here a little misunderstanding.
A thought from me."The best detector is the one in your hand". Metered non metered, their all detectors. Just a matter of what one likes.

Hmmmm I have a top of the line Metered detector (not Tesoro). I won't mention the name as this is a Tesoro Forum. Now having said that, I use my Tesoro Vaquero much more that the Metered unit. Hmmmm I guess I have a hole in my head. Noooo the V finds small pieces of jewelry (on land) much better than any other detector I have used and I have used a bunch. I have tested it time and time again and the metered unit won't even detect a lot of small pieces of jewelry that I have found with my Tesoros when they are buried. I have a close friend that has a different name top of the line metered machine than mine and is thinking about getting a Tesoro for this very reason. Now having said that, my metered machine is a great coin shooter and has a very accurate meter. Oh yes there is one more thing, my V will read a good target much closer to a nail, than my metered machine. (much faster response time) Bill in Texas 
Man, I can't set here and not dive into this debate!! I tell ya I've used quite a few TID machines. When I first started I really leaned on them and trusted them. And guess what I still like them! But something happened last summer that opened up a new reality for me. I purchased a Vaquero and it took me to school, this little machine goes detecting all the time. I can't find a good excuse not to take it to the field! It's that good! When it gives a solid repeatable I go for it and it delivers the goods. That being said I take my Cortez out quite a lot and enjoy coin shooting with it. Regardless of what is said I find the meter quite enjoyable. But one thing is for sure regardless of the meter if it's a good strong signal with tight defined borders I dig. That lesson has been instilled in me by my good ole Vaquero. But as all of you know there are portions of the meter that define a target and if you are used to the pattern it presents it can tell what the target is. The key is knowing the meter like the back of your hand. So what ever machine you have, get out there and make it happen!
