Tejon is truly Tesoro's BEST!

[bulletman]

I was once a skeptic of the small boxed machines that Tesoro makes. I can still remember seeing some of the first machines back in the early 90's. I was at the Three Forks Treasure hunt down in Oklahoma, and a very few people had the Tesoro's. Most folks shyed away from those machines in their earlier years. Fisher and Garrett were especially strong sellers, and Minelab wasn't even around then.

My first purchased Tesoro was the Conquistador a few years ago - and that changed my outlook on Tesoro. I currently own 3 little machines - the Tejon being the most current. All I can say is WOW. Been hunting some old war grounds here in MO, and this machine really shines. The first time out with it - I dug 5 bullets - in grounds that has been covered with my DFX! I truly love the simplicity of this little wonder. It is extremely deep - you have to re-think your digging tool arsenal if you purchase this machine. I purchased the 36 inch Lesche to take with me when hunting with the Tejon. The analog circuitry is a joy to listen to. Simplicity, lightweight, quality construction, and a lifetime warrantly. Believe I will sell some more of my digital machines to purchase more Tesoros. Ha-Ha.

I didn't start with the Tejon for my 1st Tesoro, although I have one, and a few others, I started out with the Cibola as my 1st Tesoro. The light weight, quality, and the analog aspect made me add more Tesoro's. I usually grab the Tejon first for relic hunts. Its a chatty machine but that's its language and it has a place in my home. And like you, simplicity to me goes a long ways, all the way down to using the Compadre. I still do use my other high dollar bells and whistles machines, but the Tesoro's get used probably up to 90% of the time. I just like them. In addition to the stock coil, the 5.75s have a place here too. I like the WOW factor also.

Many are surprised but the Tejon now has a great reputation as being one of the best relic machines around. Lightweight, easy to use, rugged, and a life time warranty.

You mean it's even deeper than my Silver umax?

... for nearly 20 years now. The first detector I ever owned was a Silver Sabre II, bought brand spanking new. Currently I have a Vaquero, Golden and Tiger Shark.
I was a raw newbie when I got that first Tesoro, but I vowed to wear it out, and nearly succeeded. When the uMax format hit the market, I was skeptical, too. "How could such a dinky thing be much good?" I asked.
It took me a while to get around to owning one, and it was by pure chance that I did.

I was contacted by a young lady on one of the forums if I wanted her Fisher CZ7a Pro, since we lived in the same town and she was strapped for immediate cash. She was also tossing in a Silver Sabre uMax, she said, just to get rid of it. I was a little leery of the Tesoro, but figured I should grab the deal while I could.

So, I got the CZ and the uMax for $400, and was pleased with that. When I turned around to pay her, she pulled a huge box from out of her car trunk, overflowing with detecting goodies and threw that in my car, too. Needless to say, I
