You probably saw my posts on the Garrett,Whites,Tesoro and classifieds forum. I have used them all.i don't go by brand, i go by performance.If a detector has weaknesses i name them.
Now what is for real with the Vaquero !?
It is more stable than a Tejon and gets the same depth.
I don't believe reports that the Vaquero or Cibola is 2 inches or more deeper than a Tejon.
You may get lucky and get a hot Vaquero or Cibola that can be deeper than a cold Tejon and the other way around.
I think if you have a Tejon, that air tests a nickel at 13 inch or better there is no need to buy the Vaquero or Cibola.
If you don't have a Tejon and want a new Tesoro i would buy a Vaquero.I just like the fact that it's more stable, uses just 1 9 volt battery, has frequency shift and gets the same depth than the more expensive Tejon.
But some may still like the Tejon better since it has a Slow Auto-Tune All Metal AND a FAST Auto-Tune All Metal Mode; Dual Disc and longer Battery life.
I didn't like the battery doors on the Tejon.They gave me the feeling that i have to send the detector in for repair after a few battery changes.Otherwise the performance of the Tejon i had was great.
The Tejon and the Vaquero/Cibola aren't much more deeper than an Eldorado on higher conductive targets like dimes and pennys (About 1 to 2 inch).But they will go much deeper (about 4 inch) than an Eldorado on low conductive targets like nickels and goldrings.
For now i think the power vs price of a Vaquero/Cibola is hard to beat.
What i posted here is no hype and i have no connections to tesoro in any way.
I aitested my second Vaquero i bought from Scott,ME and got the same results that i got with my first Vaquero.
I didn't super tune sweet spot test, i did it the way the airtest is described in the manual.I think 13 inch on a nickel and about 10 on a dime is great.
I believe you can get more out of that detector by super tune sweet spot airtesting but i didn't do it to compare it to other
Tesoros under same air test conditions.
Did some more air testing today with the 5.75 coil.
Disc was between iron and 5c, sens at max.
Dime 9 inch , Nickel 10 inch with a 5.75 coil !!!!!!!!!
That's what my Eldorado gets with its 9x8 standard coil.
I am glad i bought that coil with my Vaquero.
I am impressed.There is no detector in the price range that can beat that new Tesoro.This is the detector i wanted, thanks Tesoro.
