    Mastering the Tesoro Tejon and Vaquero Metal Detectors

    This is a pretty good read for Vaquero and Tejon users. There's a few good tips in there for maximizing depth using the GB as well as some other useful tips. It's around 100 pages, but it's an easy read. I'd recommend it for the $10 that it costs from Amazon. If you don't have a Kindle reader (I...

    Are Fisher coils interchangable?

    Do the coils fit all of the machines (F2, F4, F70 etc) or does each machine have it's own unique coil? I believe I've read the F70 and F75 coils are interchangable, but what about putting the same coil from an F75 on an F2? Would that work? Thanks, Dan

    Paypal gift option

    Why do so many people selling detectors ask the prespective buyer to lie about the gift option? In my opinion, it's hurting your chances to sell your machine quickly. When I see that, I move on. I'm not going to lie, and then sacrifice any protection that Paypal offers buyers. Here is my...

    Okay Tesoro, it's 2014...

    Has a new name been selected for the next model?

    Deleon air test, away from EMI

    Yeah, I know, yet another air test video. Bear with me on this, there is an actual point. When I first got my Deleon a few weeks ago, I did a couple quick waves of some coins and the depth seemed very good, better than I expected. But when I set up my rig in the basement and did some air tests...

    Yet another Vaquero air test video

    Here is another video I made showing the Vaquero with the stock coil, the 5.75" concentric coil, in all-metal, with disc and super-tuned. It's a long one, so grab the popcorn! There is a really good possibility that I can borrow a new Cibola off of a friend and reproduce these tests with that...

    Finally got a Deleon

    It was an epic struggle (long story), but I finally scored an absolutely mint Deleon from Richard at Backwoods detectors. There are no signs of any use whatsoever on this machine. Initial air tests are very impressive. I'm not seeing any difference in depth from my Vaquero (non-super tuned)...

    Transferable warranties. Who offers them?

    Just a quick poll to see what companies offer transferable warranties. Tesoro does not. Garrett does. White's does. Fisher/Teknetics ?? Minelab ?? For those companies that do offer transferable warranties, how is it handled? As the second owner, do you have to contact the manufacturer and do...

    Tesoro's warranty policy is a two edged sword

    If you buy a new Tesoro, it's great (generally). If you have issues that they feel shouldn't happen under normal use, not so much. But for the most part, the warranty is good. However, if you buy a Tesoro 2nd hand that might only be 1 week old, then it's a bad policy. The second that machine...

    How much warranty on a new Garrett?

    And is it transferable to a 2nd owner? Thanks, Dan

    Deleon

    How come no one ever talks about this machine? I almost had one but it didn't pan out. I would like to hear what people think about their Deleons. Thanks, Dan

    Are Tesoros voltage regulated?

    Specifically the Vaquero? I'm guessing that they are not as my Vaquero seems a little "off" when the batteries are low. It's hard to explain how it's "off" but it just seems weird. A fresh battery fixes it right up. Are an Tesoros voltage regulated? How does the Outlaw behave when the battery is...

    Fun with the Wayback machine

    I thought you fellow Tesoro fans might get a kick out of the Wayback Machine. This is an archive of websites going back to the mid 90's. You can look at Tesoro's website back in the past and see what different machine they offered, and some of the new product announcements. Go to...

    How long is too long to wait?

    I bought a Tesoro Deleon off of another forum member on October 18th. 4 weeks later I still don't have it. I've asked 5 times for a tracking number and he won't give it to me. Always an excuse and a sob story. First Purolator lost it (but sometimes he referred to them as UPS). Then the post...

    Tesoro 5.75" Concentric coil

    Somehow I ended up with 2 of these coils. This is the 4 pin for the Vaquero, Tejon, Cibola and Lobo. It also comes with the lower rod. It's got the usual scratches on the bottom of the scuff. I'll take $100 shipped to your door. Thanks, Dan

    Why would I want an Outlaw...

    ...if I have a Vaquero? How would I be better off? I feel I need one but I don't know why. Thanks, Dan

    Not much chatter about the MX5

    I'm a bit surprised that there isn't more discussion on this new machine. I'm not a White's guy, but I like to keep up on all the technology. This debut seems to have been met with deafening silence. What's the deal with the MX5?

    I watched that Diggers show on the weekend

    What an embarrassment to our hobby. We all face a certain bit of stereotyping to begin with, and this show is going to make it even worse. I sure hope no one is watching it and it gets cancelled soon. I was also a bit surprised at how blatant the Garrett plugs were. Pretty much every scene has...

    Who says you dig a lot of trash with a Tesoro?

    Yeah, I dug some this morning. I also dug 93 coins in 3 hours. Check out the picture and you be the judge. Is this a lot of scrap considering the volume of coins? By the way, it was $11.55 in clad. Dan

    Can the cam locks be tightened?

    I just received my Tejon I bought from the classifieds (thanks Don!) but the upper pole fits very loosely and the cam lock won't tighten it. I could add tape to the pole, but I was hoping for a more elegant solution. I would like to take that cam lock off and either shim it or replace it. Any...
