Hi Krazyglue, Either the T or the V is a great choice but I would suggest you continue your homework on both so as to make the best choice.I have been using the T for several years and have myself had a craving for a V from time to time.Lots of debating went on at first over which was this and which was that. I would suggest you find out best you can what kind of soil you will be hunting., whether or not it is mineralized or not. The V being more stable will matter, though the dual disc. on the T is great, there are likely some issues with the T in mineralized dirt. The V, not being so highly "tweaked " ( they say) as the T, allows a more steady threshold/stability and the lower Freq. of the V may help some in the mineralization and the deep iron.I know very little about the T2LE, but I do know from watching my buddy digging with his V that it goes very deep. I watched him dig the deepest coin, "a small thin engraved love token dime," that I have ever seen dug with his V.Just hang with your homework, and when you get to the Lifetime Warranty and Service of Tesoro, you will discover even more reasons to go Tesoro.Tesoro Warranty and Service IS and ALWAYS HAS BEEN, far ahead and above ALL other detector Mfgs, and that's no BS. All the old Tesoro diggers know that from experienbce and owe it to our Noobie friends to tell them.. HH Charlie

yeah,,,but i still love the XLT,,wish i kept my old spectrum 1.1,,the thing is ,,its all about ENJOYING what this hobby is all about ,,i used minelab g.t. loved it ,,but too heavy,,will work in salt wet areas better than just about anything else,,,and deeper,,but TESORO i think is a like a woman,,,once youve had one ,,,you just gotta have another,,,i LOVE the vaq,,its as deep or deeper than the g.t. ,and,the xlt,,,it aint complex to use ,,you can (as well as the shib) wind it up so hard you need a big spade and long arms to collect,,but thats in areas you can use its full power,,,,same as any machine,,,but

johnnywayne I believe you just made a sell for Tesoro. I have been thinking about getting a simpler metal detector and you just nailed it.thanks

If money is no object get Tejon and you can set each dial seperate meaning set the Dial as your main at ((Foil or 5cent)) and the other dial at ((1cent)) and then if you want to check to see if target is possible a Dime or Quarter just switch to your second dial and see if it still beeps if so and its a small target you might have a coin unless you have your main dial set to iron your not going to have a iron issue, if you want to look for Iron just set your main dial to iron and you can set your secondary to 5cent or 1 cent to check coins, your choice really.

I'm just going to make a comment on your TID machines (regardless who makes it) and that is.......your looking for a beep dig machine are you not??? Enuff said!!!

Vaq. is nice but trust me you will wish you got the dual dials over time, not to knock the Vaq, just saying why not get something that will make coin shooting alot easier rather then thumb a dial non stop.

The other good point I wanted to make is with the cibola I use, when I'm hunting in areas I know could have good coin targets, like private properties I dig every good beep over iron.

Why even bother to thumb the dial , just dig. If I go to a public and just want to coin shoot, just set right below 5c... And dig all.

I don't care if it's a nickel, zinc, dime or q I just want them all. Plus it's great exercise to dig more.

,,,,,,,,,,well thats the truth,,,a lot of hammered coins in england ,,not to mention gold,,respondes in the foil area of normal disc.,,and the good thing about the e.d. 180 is it extends the iron disc.,,,its just what you need,,so i agree,,trying to knock out just that little bit more,,leaves you wide open to loosin the best finds,,,vaq,n shib,,,outstandin,,,

Everyone keeps skipping over the Golden umax. Three detectors in one. Beep-dig, notch, tone id. I've been guilty of it for 3 years. You can have it all in one detector. Most coins are within the first 4" anyway.
