Seems to be a lot of speculation and rumors going around about future Tesoro detectors coming out. I visited my dealer about a week ago, and asked him if there was anything in the works. He told me he was unaware of any new models in the near futue. Perhaps, Tesoro is ultra-secret about research and development with possible new models. I too would like to see new models, as this keeps our detecting hobby exciting. I highly doubt that there would be any ground breaking "NEW" technology coming around. Been swinging coils now for 25 years, and not much has changed with technology. Garrett is about to release the new AT Pro, and I noticed that the operating frequency is 15 khz. What do you know!!!! That's about the same frequency that the newer Tesoros run at (Tejon, Vaquero, and Cibola). I am sure that Mr. Garrett's new detector will be a winner, but has technology really changed?
I still truly like the simplicity of the Tesoro lineup, and my primary machines do not have VDI screens. I have learned to dis-trust VDI numbers, icons and the sort. I have often wondered what kind of finds I may have passed up, by looking at VDI numbers? Using the simpler machines, I dig more targets and have the fun of trying to guess what's under my coil. I do know, that my very best finds have been found with Tesoro machines.
So, I would like to thank the Giffords for still producing some of the very best machines out there.
