DeepTech

what was your first Tesoro

After I bought the 'then' new White's XLT in 1994, my wife bought the new Tesoro Toltec ll the next year. These two detectors are as different as night and day. The XLT is deeper, but with it's much faster sweep speed requirement, the Toltec ll with it's slow motion sweep speed, fast response and quick recovery in the iron trash was much better suited to the old sites we hunted at.

The XLT was traded off but we still have the excellent Toltec ll :thumbup:
 
My first Tesoro was a Silver Sabre 2. I put an unreal amount of hours on it. I finally did it in by hunting in the rain with a plastic bag over the control box. The box condensated and sweated and
I had to send it in to Rusty for repair. Rusty worked on it and replaced several capacitors and re-conformal coated the PCB. He returned it stating that it was still was not 100%. I finally traded it
in on a Shadow which was a great detector also. I often think about all of those SS finds.
 
Started looking for a metal detector 6 years ago after wanting one for 36 years and after lots of research I decided on a Silver Umax, as a new one fit my budget, but I answered an out dated ad for a used Vaquero and I ended up with that for the same money so Vaquero it my first Tesoro.

Minas man
 
My first was a Tesoro Lobo (Original) one of the best detectors that I have owned. Both an excellent gold nugget machine but also does great coin hunting at the local park. :)
 
was going to get a fisher f4 or f5 for my first one. then came across the tesoro's. ended up getting a vaquero back in april of this year. am very pleased with it.
 
First Tesoro was the first Lobo--I was just getting started in nugget hunting,had been CW relic hunting for years, and talked to the Tesoro factory directly and the guy recommended the Lobo and I have been very pleased with it for 16 years. I'm lookin' at it in the corner as I type.

About 35 years aho, a friend gotme interested. Work and family made me park it in the garage where it sat. He carried on and did well. He moved to the town I was living in on retirement. I bought a Tesoro Eldorado and it began. I would get another also. Love it. I have other machines but it is my pick up and go machine. Slowed down this year with some problems but took it out about 3 weeks ago for a spin. A 14K with diamonds keeps it at number one! :thumbup:
Cheers

I had a Aztec. It was a great machine. The ability to read targets by changing modes let me find a lot of deep non-ferrous targets. Only a few machines would read targets the same way. The Aztec, Deepsearch VII, Garrett Groundhog and Deepseeker were all good at target ID by just changing from low discriminate to all metals and listening to the change. It was close to 100% accurate.
 
I went from an ACE 250 to the Tejon. Believe me, there was a learning curve. :lol:
 
Still have my first tector I bought new 23yrs ago and it works fine....Tesoro Golden Sabre II. Used it for 22yrs and dug a bazillion coins with it. Tried a new Tejon, sold it, moved on to a Minelab. Retired the GSII but what a machine it has been over the yrs........
 
My first was a used Silver uMax. Still the best "sounding" Tesoro I've used. If only it had a manual GB, it would still be my main detector for 75% of my hunts.
 
My first Tesoro will be a Vaquero. It will be here tomorrow. I love old records, tube amps, and classic telescopes so I'm sure this analog detector will be dearly loved and fit right in.
 
My first tesoro was a cibola. That machine opened my eyes to what target masking was as I used many detectors on a site that produced early 1800s coins but on that first day using the cibola there it was like no one detected it 1800s coins were everywhere that machine amazed me and the other machines I used there were triple the price. I realized that all the iron in the ground was keeping the other detectors from seeing the good targets. But not the cibola the first coin I dug that day was an 1832 half dime in great shape.
 
Silver uMax had it for 7 years now it always pays for it self , and more, in March....I have found gold with it. The minelab excal I have I have never found gold with it. The Silver soon will have paid for the excal...To bad Tesoro does not make a multi freq waterproof model I could use in saltwater... I would get rid of the minelab......
 
A Royal Saber. I loved it!
