Tesoro ............is soooooooo overdue for a new machine!!!!

[Ivan]

They have the "beep and dig units" well represented. but what they really need is a new Target ID machine!!!! I will be buying one this summer in June......and I hope Tesoro will have a new one out by then. Garrett has their At Pro, Fisher and Teknetics all have multiple new units out. Whites has a very effective M6 and then there's Tesoro!!! The Cortes and Deleon are long overdue for an upgrade. I like Tesoro and that's where I want to put my money..............but offer me something new, effective and updated!!!!! Come on Tesoro, give those other guys a challenge. Anybody agree with me???

mr gifford sr. was a strong believer in audio nuances in a detector
as an engineer,he knew that target id was/is not as accurate
as audio,especially at depth!..yes they have produced them in the past
to answer the competition,but i believe their heart is really not in it,because of the
company's design philosophy!.."beep and dig!"..just sayin'

Still, for everyday hunting-what's wrong with the Golden?

nothing! i hear it is accurate enough for everyday hunting!
i do not own one,but i have read it doesn't go very deep,
but again,i have read this in the past,and have NOT PERSONALLY
used one!

I agree. BUT, tesoro is known for it's beep and dig detectors, they are the best of the best. What I would like is as written above - some 'audio nuances' in the HOT machines. I have finally come to understand what the Vaq is telling me for the most part, but the signatures in the audio play a small part as compared to the silver umax I had, I could read the audio feedback like a book on that machine.
I read on another thread something about a Tejon 2. I think it's a great idea. Take the Tejon integrate the Vaquero's smooth/stable threshold, along with a user adjustable low tone like the old pantera/golden sabre had. Maybe even a toggle for a 5khz, 12khz and 17khz. I could go on and on about a new dream machine.

I started with beep and dig, then was attracted to tones then meter ID. Now I have went full circle, beep in dig just seems to get the job done for me.

I also think Tesoro has already figured that out.

I have 3 machines one high end ID meter, tones the works, and 2 beep and dig machines. If the IRS said I had to give up 2 of my machines for taxes, I would keep the Tejon.

Just give me 3 tones on my Vaquero and I would be a happy camper. I don't need or want a digital detector. For the beep and dig crowd Tesoro pretty well has the bases covered already.....just a few little tweaks here and there and they would be perfect......just my 2 zinc's worth.

Got a Vaquero & a Compadre..................Think I got the bases covered. Don't need no stinken ID (GUESSING) machine.

dont be too hard on the company as they do make quality machines,look inside at the circuit boards and no rubbish PCBs .
however they could do with a few updated products as the state of the art moves forward they need to take note of the competition .
no doubt they are working on it.
wireless headphones to suit their machines would be advantageous for a start
