I would like to say hello to everyone on this forum and other forums. I been watching this forum for a couple of years, and its been a good place for my questions. I did not ask any question over the years because all the info is wright here just by searching for it. I want to say "THANK YOU" for all that take there time to answer the questions and take time out of there day to do so. When I first found this forum, the best answer that someone said was "The detector is only as good as the person using it". I agree 100% by this.
Here's a little about me. I have been detecting since 2006 and I can't get enough of this hobby. I have used only one brand of detector over the years and sold them all (three of them) . Yes, I regret this, but it was hard times. So this year I wanted to start new and have a fresh start with a different company of metal detector . After reading all about this company I felt at home and it felt wright. So with that said, here we go.
I purchased a Tesoro Cortes on Wednesday and it arrived on Friday. My first impression when the UPS driver handed me the box (as i almost dropped it) was this box is light, like there's nothing in there. Well I got the box inside and before I new it it was open, I was so excited. I didn't need to read the manual because I read it a hundred time on the Internet. I put it together and spent the night testing this baby out. I did some air test and checked it in my test garden that I planted three years ago. All I could say Is WOW!
My air test were very close to my past detectors and that made me feel good. I also had the same results in my test garden if not better with the Cortes.
I could go on but this is not my place and don't want to step out of bounds. THANK YOU ALL
