You can have only 1 detector and its a Tesoro, which?

[Jeff (or)]

IF I had to pick one Tesoro detector......my first choice would be the original LOBO, or second pick would be the Bandido II uMAX. WITH the correct coil, and headphone selection. Both those models can be used to hunt "old school " style when set up correctly. As far as the warrenties on detectors, they are my least concern.

If you're going to hunt ok ground and need the discrimination to hunt coins, I would completely agree that the Vaquero is probably the best choice. It's probably the most stable and easiest use among the current crop. I have a Tejon, but I'm using it at the ragged edge of its capability, to get the most depth I can and I don't coinshoot with it, just relic hunt. I use TID machines to coinshoot, since when I coinhunt I'm usually in a really dense field of trash. I have an Eldorado Umax for its depth in bad ground, while in all metal. The other choice I would make, if I had good ground, would be a Cibola. It was my first detector and I loved that machine. Problem was, I needed an adjustable ground balance.

Compadre. Best all around unless you are looking for deep targets. Then you need a Tejon or a Vaquero.

[size=x-large]The Lobo ST is the best that Tesoro has, with the modulated audio. R[/size]

My choice..... The Deleon, hands down.

Still one of the best machines i ever seen. just wish it had like 5 leds on the front for depth, so i could choose how deep I want to dig. I usually end up backing the Sens waay down and still get 8''+
Yes I undestand Vaquerean
