My wife & I had to run into town, she had to get some things for my Mom's birthday (she's 75 today) I only had about 20 minutes to try out my Eldorado, my wife had to be back to house clean for our neighbor, but 20 minutes is 20 minutes. The first thing my wife asked me when she came to pick me up was did you find any jewelry... I said no, you know them Tesoro's can't find jewelry. Reached into my pocket and put my 20 minutes worth of finds in her hand, she looked at me and smiled, hmm a ring, I think its silver she said. Cleaned it up and read them little numbers 925. I got the small silver ring another piece of gold colored jewelry & 5 or 6 clad coins. Two of the coins were are very respectable depths. Setting the ground balance on the Eldorado is a breeze, and it is a very very stable machine. Wish I would of had more time to use it today, we still have some decent looking weather for a bit. No to brag and I give all the credit to Tesoro, it seems more times than not I always find jewelry and most times it is at least two pieces per outing. I do really like the Eldorado (it is the plastic uMax type model). Steve.
