Tesoro Mojave?

Looks good. Seems to be a compadre with sensitivity and cable disconnect.
The ground switch is intriguing.
With the black sand demo in that video, i hope it
Will make it usable in the wet salt sand.

I agree, that's all Tesoro has come up with after all this time. That's pretty darn pathetic after what they have put their customers through these past years. But, let's coddle them and rave about what a great job they have done. That seems to be the way now days. It's not even weather resistant, let alone waterproof to 10 feet. That is not going to compete at all with the AT-pro in any way, shape, or form and the AT is not even that great. Very disappointing, guess with the old man gone, with respect to him, they can't do anything. After all, the cibola and the vaquero was the last truly new machines they came out with, then he retired and they have not done anything new, except reinvent a coil, since. How can we expect great things from them with that as the example. Just being real...Mega said:

Basically a Compadre bumped up to 12khz. with the orig. thin 7" concentric coil they used for Troy X2 detector ?(Super 7"). With two fixed ground balance selection switch using two resistors. Bet they did away with the GB trimpot inside to keep folks from adjusting it. Along with the new black color scheme everyone was favoring that Tesoro used for the European market. Does seem like a rehash of features.
At least it's a lot better looking than the Compadre or Silver. And should be a killer on Canadian clad coins.

I think it has a reasonable price tag! Like the two position gb switch, would like to have that on my Troy X2 3D.

I know I may sound stupid, but I am glad it looks like they are sticking to the nobs and switches design. I am sure there is more to come!

Not at all stupid.
We love the Tesoro machines for what they are. If people need TID detectors, there are plenty of brands on the market.
Tesoro is still building a great, analog "beep&dig" detector. Maybe not what many would think of as modern, but they do work well.
I like the look of the detector, the videos showed it to be a basic good machine for the price. The hi low ground balance may serve well or not to some hunters....My ground is very mild, however when you get to the Sea coast in NH the wet sand is tough ...And with a bigger DD it may do well ? I'm sure there great disc will do well around trashy colonial sites if it will get the depth we need for the older sites...Just wished they did the two tone...Anyone eles agree. Who knows is this just a stepping stone to more to come...Well at least it's a good start in the right direction.... I will hold off to see what's next to come...If I don't get to bored and snag one for this spring....

...not if we keep buying them..!
This is not an expensive detector.. I think I'll order mine in the morning.
Yep theres very little if any ground breaking tech...if we keep expecting that we are in for disappointment.
Im waiting to see if they will sell it with the longer cable.
12khz and 180 disc should be good for small gold.

I like it, plain and simple. Like the duel resistor switch for ground conditions, sure not by any means like having a manual GB but close.
Just ordered one from a dealer from my area, looking forward to using it.

yep exactly what I asked for a compadre with a sens knob and coil change and the 7" concentric, its a gold hunter although they have said they changed boards from the compadre.that remains to be seen.
all I want is the slim line coil, the detector looks great but I have one doesn't look as good but it sniffs out gold
but who knows a Mojave what ever that means 
might end up on my list or not who knows, but I have a feeling there is more to come this is just the tip of the desert 
but as I have said a million and now one times there's only so many ways you can shuffle knobs and switches around.

Hello Neil,
Your whites Coinmaster from the eighties is considered vintage, back then that was top of the line. And the older Tesoro were very popular, boy were they extremely sensitive in it's day.
The list of the vintage detectors, each name is a brand. So i auctally have gobs of others per brand, to list them all would fill a page.
The oldest are between the Goldak and a FisherScope two-box, late forties early fifties. The newest of the vintage would be late seventies early eighties, the bulk of them are from the sixties and these are BFO of various brands, but the earlier FisherScope are TR these are from fifties, sixties and early seventies. I don't believe FisherScope had BFO, all mine are TR even those dating back to the Fifties.
Thanks for asking,
Paul
