DeepTech

Which would be theTesoro with most power & depth, TEJON?

I think that's the consensus of Tesoro users. Search for Tejon vs. Minelab on your search engine and there was a test where the Tejon kept pretty close to the Minelab.
 
I had a tejon and it must of been a weak one because the vaquero I had was hot....really HOT. With the ground in NH being rather good for the most part I would say the V or T would be rather close... Now I have never tried the lobo with that said. Right now among the few detectors I'm running, the fisher 1270 seems to be on par or even more then both tejon and vaquero. Even while testing out some older whites like the the classic iii plus and IDX. They pretty much get the same depth while using the 9.5 blue max coil, the only difference is deeper targets sound louder with the tesoros. However the vaquero with the 5 3/4 coil rocks, it may not cover a lot of ground, but its separation capabilities is amazing and I dug a fugio cent that was peweter " white metal" at 7" deep.... I no longer have a vaquero but I may have another one someday as a tejon. Just to many detectors to try out with so little time,,, as with the etrac. It goes deep, sounds off great on deep targets and I'd is great, it just cost a lot of $ and is heavy and reaction time is ?... Bit i feel like it still finds food targets in trash....deep.... Well I said prob too much !
 
JJdigs, I can confirm what you say about the Vaquero. I also no longer have the Vaquero either
A few years ago I was hunting a site with another fellow who used the Tejon and I the Vaquero, the targets were mostly all deep on a well pounded site.
We were both shocked when the Vaquero sounded off on targets that the Tejon couldn't make a peep on. It did this over and over again no matter how we tried to tune it.
Maybe the Tejon was out of tune or the Vaq was just hot. The ground wasn't very mineralized either. It most definitly boosted my confidence with the Vaquero to say the least.
Tesoro will say that the Tejon is their deepest machine, but that wasn't my experience.
 
As you have only mention the Tesoro detector range in general and not VLF or PI,the Sand Shark with a 10.5'' coil could well be pretty deep.as i dont own a great amount of Tesoro machine,as a general rule PI machines do go deeper than VLF machines.
 
In all metal mode the Tiger Shark is easily the deepest.
 
I had a Vaquero and it was pretty weak. Didnt get near the results folks are reporting, even in clean soil. The deepest beep and dig ive used is the Fisher 1270. Deepest Tesoro was the Cibola.
 
I have a 1270 now and its deep , but I feel no deeper then my vaquero.... I had a cibola and freaking loved it, maybe because it was one of my first detectors. But man did I find some loot with that machine. It had better audio then the vaquero. The 1270 is still kinda new to me....maybe you had a weak vaquero like my tejon ?
 
I agree with the Cibola has a better audio than the Vaquero. I think the Fisher 1200 series bests both of them though.
