I have to come clean, I have been cheating on my Tesoros. Recently I purchased a Teknetics Delta 4000 and an Ace250, figuring I would give VID a try. I tried very hard to love them but just couldn't love them the way I love my Tesoros. I committed myself to try and sell myself on VID, but couldnt convince myself it was worth the effort.
First the Delta seemed very nice and I saw much potential in it, very light and nice looking machine. It had great depth which overall in my opinion was the one thing I liked. I put some hours into it really trying to accept it, but ended up just being overwhelmed by the bouncing signals, trying to decipher the targets and the overwhelming beeps. It didnt take long for me to decide to resell it, I made back the $175 i bought it for. Dont get me wrong if there was a good target there it was pretty certain to be what it showed but if anything near said target it would cause the ID to bounce around chaotically and in turn discourage me from even trying to read it. Really just overloaded my mind.
Also when I first got the Delta I was excited and went to the Teknetics forum to introduce myself and unlike the friendly folks here In Tesoroland, not one person said hello to me. I gotta say this is my favorite interactive forum of them all.
Secondly the Ace250 it seemed like a decent machine, but those belltones are ridiculous! I finally found that if gold or nickel or similar item that the bell doesn't have the "twang" to it, it is more like a solid tone. Overall I got frustrated with it and put it in the trunk and grabbed my Compadre, all the stress of bells, whistles and visual stimulation left my mind and I happily finished my day finding my 15th gold ring.
I prefer a simple beep and dig machine where I can recover targets quickly and move on. The VID honestly made me feel stressed rather than the relaxing beep dig simplicity. I just honestly dont have the patience to analyze each dig. I may still shop around and try a few more brands but I don't think I will be cheating much more.
