I have been watching the posts about the two new machines on the TD forum the past couple of weeks or so. There are two guys who call themselves the Mayor and Smegma PI I think. It sounded pretty far fetched what they were saying, but it got me interested. I asked a couple of questions and they told me to check them out against other machines at a dealers.
Thats exactly what I did. I spent a vacation day from work checking the Vaquero and Cibola out against some others I was interested in. I actually only handled the Vaquero since I wanted GB in whatever machine I bought. The Vaquero was a nice machine, but it did not compare against a machine or two that I was also interested in. I stated this over on the other forum for them to read and I did not mention the other machines name which I bought, out of courtesy to the tesoro forum. That post was deleted within minutes. The machine I bought was compared to the Vaquero while actually relic hunting with my dealer and also on some very deep relics and coins in a test garden of his. Some of these targets have been buried for years. There were some signals from the Vaquero which were one way or very iffy on some extrememly deep minnie balls and quarters. These same targets produced solid good signals on the machine I bought. These two guys plus others were specifically referencing the Vaquero to beating hell out of the machine in which I bought. I now know they are full of BS and are misleading people on how they sell their machines. And they will not allow anyone to give a fair comparison. I have owned several tesoros and still have one in my closet. They are great machines. But I sure hope that the Giffords do not condone how that other forum is hyping a very good product of theirs. I'd post this over there, but itwould be deleted. Sorry for ranting...George
