As many of you Tesoro guys know Tesoro machines are made in America, and come with a lifetime warranty, which while not technically transferable, their well know in their generosity of honoring the lifetime warranties regardless of the respective owner.

Here's a more detailed description of the Tesoro Lobo from the Tesoro site:
Since most gold nuggets are very small, it has been very difficult to find them using normal detectors which were basically designed for coin shooting use. Historically, any attempts to discriminate against trash have caused a complete loss of the very small gold objects. Many trash items however have a response to the metal detector which is above the domain of gold nuggets. Careful use of the Lobo's discrimination mode, after finding the target in the All Metal mode, will allow rejection of much of this trash.
The Lobo is our newest and most powerful metal detector expressly designed for the purpose of finding gold nuggets, although it is certainly useful as a coin shooter since it is equipped with an extremely sensitive discriminate mode. Its strength will also allow its use as a relic hunter, or for most other hunting situations.
Two coil styles are available, both of them in elliptical packages. The Ellipticon searchcoil is a concentric style, and is joined by the new Tesoro Wide Scan elliptical. Both styles are extremely hot for gold, but the new wide scan is less effected by mineralization. Both style give a much wider sweep than round coils, but are narrow enough to fit into crevices and between rocks.
As with any detector, the familiarity of the user with the instrument will have a great deal to do with how successful the hunter is. We recommend that you read and understand this manual fully before attempting to use the instrument in the field.
