What happened to Tesoro?

In highly mineralized (volcanic) terrain with iron ore in the form of shavings, magnetite, maghemite, and basalt rocks, the multitone goes haywire. It is not accurate. The earth or sand acts as a filter and leaves everything as if it were iron.
 
Nauti, you have to understand that in the US, they don't have as much variety of coins and artifacts as we can have in Europe.
We have been minting coins for thousands of years and melting metals and thousands of different coins.
Perhaps for them in the US, multitone will be beneficial in parks and gardens. It would drive us crazy.
It's just an opinion ...
Guys, everyone who wears the one they like and do well

Greetings

people that used Tesoro got smoked by Fisher & White Users

Really? Maybe a bad club or unskilled users. I was in detecting clubs and those nutty single-tone Tesoro's did very well. I know my total monthly coin recoveries and my old coin and token recoveries were never bested by a Fisher, a White's or any other brand.

I have and use Garrett Apex SMF and two Nokta models, none of which am I selling. I have Yhr Legend and Deus II ordered and coming, but I also have my two trusty Tesoro's that also serve me well.

Where are you from Draco.
 
I am Spanish. At the moment I am living in the Canary Islands, but I usually travel a lot to mainland Spain.
 
I find that my 3 tone Golden Hi Tone does quite Nice job at cherry picking gold jewelry. After watching Michael Czahur u-tube notch demo I picked up a couple and Glade I did they work Great on sports fields. HH, Don

Wrong, We were hunting old sites and the shear depth of the CZ detectors were unmatched.
A handful of us were using the Fisher CZ's we carried shovels everyone else carried trowels
they laughed within 3 months most of the club was using the CZ's FACT

Isn't someone start the bull hockey about the Tesoro being only 1 tone but
the nuance's of the 1 tone makes it like a multi-tone detector I've heard that bs for years?

Back in the day, in our part of the country, certain brands and models performed much better than others, depending upon soil conditions.
I remember when the Minelab Explorer first came out, it smoked everything and I couldn't afford one. Those owners were cleaning up lots more silver
in spots we thought that we cleaned out of silver........................................Also, remember having both the White's MXT and Tesoro Cortes and they were on par with each other
for coin hunting.

Well that Clarifies your earlier statement about detectors that were smoking Tesoro's. You didn't mention what type of hunting or where to know the conditions.

"Back when" a good Tesoro served me well for my ghost town anventures, recovering 95% or more of the old coins, /raade tokens and small artifacts of interest.

IN urban applications, almost all of the coins and jewelry from playground Tot-Lots were made with a Tesoro in-hand, and they served me well on renovation work, etc.

For wide-open areas where I could use better depth, I relied on an XL Pro, XLT, and the CZ-5, my favorite of the CZ clan.

My best find to date was a US five dollar gold coin 1881...with my golden Micromax.
Tesoro is still my go to machine....in fact I own eleven of them:)

Canary Islands. Isn't that a big vacation place ?
Man hitting some of those high dollar beach resorts should be productive.
