Missing Tesoro Once Again!!!

[Dirtdigger33]

Man I miss Tesoro!!!! I was reading a field test for the Eldorado on their archived website link that Oldkoot shared with me in a post recently. Thank you for that trip down memory lane Oldkoot. I have visited that web page multiple times since and read field tests and looked up product information. I recently read a field study about a guy using an Eldorado Umax with a 4” Concentric coil on it in trashy areas. I have the Eldorado Umax which I will never part with but now I want a 4” coil. I don’t know if anyone has one to sell but I put it on the wish list on the accessories forum here on fonall as a want to buy. I am sure it will be crickets chirping and silence as everyone who has Tesoro coils is holding onto them but I figured it is worth a shot. It is at times like these that I wish Tesoro was still in business. I own 5 Tesoro detectors and various coils but I want more, especially a 4” or 5.75”. I mainly hunt with Tesoro’s and have had great success. I wish the company was still open because the wish list keeps on growing and the gear keeps on getting pricier since they closed doors. I guess the saying still holds true about you don’t really fully appreciate what you got till it is gone. I will say this too. I don’t know if any of the Jack Gifford family reads any of the Tesoro related posts but I want to thank them for making some darn fine detectors that in my humble opinion and in my mind will never be outdated. Hunting with my Tesoro detectors always brings a smile to my face with their quiet discrimination, powerful searching capabilities, easy pinpointing and overall performance. Also you know if the Tesoro says it is down there, it is and it is right under the coil, no pinpoint button needed on the detector. I love swinging my knobs and switches Tesoro analog detectors and wish Tesoro was still around. HH.

Have you ever used a 7” concentric on the Eldorado Umax? I have the 7” Concentric and 7” wide scan coils. They both are really nice coils to use in combination with the Eldorado and Bandido. Now I am on the hunt for a 4” or 5.75” coil to use on my Eldorado and Bandido. I always think I have enough gear to be satisfied and use what I have but it always seems like there is another detector or accessory that needs just needs to be purchased. Congratulations on your micro jewelry find with the Eldorado Umax. Tesoros hit hard on jewelry and definitely on small jewelry. My two Compadres have found me some really good stuff. Good luck and HH.

That 7" coil is one I don't own. Your right though, there's always
something us Detector is t want to add to the Arsenal. I had 2
4" coils and let one go last year. I have sellers remorse but oh well. Wish you the Best my friend!!!

That Eldorado is a great detector. I bought a used one somdd red years ago while the company was still in business, and really liked it.
I later sold it only because I had a Vaquero that which replaced it.
I really like the controls on both of these models… both very easy and fun to use.
Never had the 7” coils, but had the 9x8 and 5.75” coil… both were great coils.
Like you, I was sad when Tesoro closed down.

Man I also wish Tesoro was still around - I was out for years (after surgery) and unloading detectors but now I am slowly getting back into detecting.
Found Tesoro & Whites is no more.
I at least held onto my Compadre, Silver uMax & Cortes. Never did use the Cortes but a couple times. I can kick myself for letting the Cibola, Varquero & Tejon go...
Kept one of the Whites (V3i) - not sure why, maybe the occasional swing.
Still have others but always told myself I'd never let the Compadre go and still feel the same now.
