New Tesoro model teribbly overdue !!!!

[finnfoto]

They can name one the "Coronado" as he searched for the cities of gold, or was that used already?? Maybe the "Quivira" which is a sister city of gold to Cibola. Maybe use the Cibola green on the Quivira, but include a simple display that just reads a vdi number and depth, that might be cool - hows that finnfoto? Gets you thinking.



This is EXACTLY WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT.

A multi toned vaquro, I don't see how you can top that. The problem if you start adding a tdi is all of your attention and efforts are based on watching the screen for certain number to show up and you can an awful lot of good treasures. Multi frequency would be great also, but I'd be careful for what I ask for or we'll be complaining about the price.

There ya go. The great thing about the Tesoros are they have great models without fancy displays, with far too much info. Be great if my Vaquero had just two important numbers on a small display, VDI and depth. I feel these would be ok because for the most part we lift the coil to check depth and most times turn up the disc to get an idea of conductivity. Seeing this info wouldn't really change the way we hunt now, but great to have at a glance. Certainly give us more time to hunt.

Guys, When the economy fails, and the price of gold goes up. Everybody wants a metal detector! Please remember this is a Mom and POP company. We have only 18 people working here and the owner is the only engineer. We are not like Minelab, Fisher or Garret who are extremly large companies. We do not play the " Mine is better than yours" game. Our focus is to provide a simple great machine at a reasonable price.

"It has become apparent to me over the past few years that there is a place for, even a need for, a metal detector manufacturer who is dedicated to the independent dealer market. The products should utilize the best of today's technology to provide maximum sensitivity. They should be rugged, but light enough that anyone can use them. They should do their job without "bells and whistles" that only increase the cost. And finally, the company should remain loyal to their dealers and be responsive to their needs and desires. It is with these principles in mind, that TESORO was founded in May of this year.

With just over 6 months as a Tesoro owner/operator, these are the things I would give attention to if I were directly involved in R&D.

#1 Higher quality, more comfortable hand grip.
#2 Rubber covered knobs for easier "thumbing" (or make add ons available)
#3 O rings under knobs to add resistance and keep out dirt.
#4 Audio sample of high low tones included with instructional DVD.
#5 Tesoro techs could make minor modifications to the PCB (future revisions) to allow addition of Tesoro provided, butt mounted, volume control mod kit.
#6 Something a little more timely and attractive for a sticker. (my Cibola looks WAY cooler without the cheesy green sticker)
#7 @Tesoro That's all the free advice you'll get from me...plenty more for a fee. LOL!

They've certainly done that. Had my Silver umax and Royal Sabre for over 10 years. Compadre for almost a year. Finds easily paid for them.

Mike Hillis,
The point I was making was not about the dealerships but what our company focus was on metal detectors. Simple to use with great output.

allcav,

Love the quality & weight of your Tesoro MDers + your line of detectors covers every base (in my opinion).

Just don't understand why people aren't happy with a great machine unless the switch colors or a few switchs/knobs around every few years.

I see people here switching machines every 2 months (which is'nt enough time to even learn a machine). We had a person posting on forums, the expert Tabdog using 2 Compadre's (1 large old coil machine & 1 small coil machine) & blowing their high dollar machines out of the water. 1 year he got over 1 gold ring a month for a year.

People need to get out & get about 200 hours under their belt swinging before whineing about anything. Maybe its NOT the tool that needs replacing, but the OPERATOR needs to stop being lazy & really learn his machine ! Star Trek sensers & beaming technology is here yet fools.

AS SAID ON A GOLD FORUM " 90% operator & 10% machine " !

Robert got a sore head yet ?

just stop making any Tesoro's and find out the reaction?

how many metal detector company's send you a slip back with the machine after a check up where the head technician's signed it and done the work? recon Bruce candy will work on your minelab?

just keep doing what you do guys for me i don't need nothing changed mine kick butt.

I love Tesoro detectors they kick butt and have proven to me that they will pay for theirselves in a short amount of time in the hands of someone who isn't affraid to get their knees dirty! I have tried all the brands of detectors and I always end back up with a Tesoro in hand! Also they stand behind their product with a lifetime warranty, which in twenty years of detecting I have had to use one time. As far as new design how bout a Tejon that has relic target id.
