I do just fine with My Tejon on land and Tiger Shark in the water.

Isn't the Eldorado same as the Vaq with the exception of the tone on it? Now don't get me wrong, if I found a clean and mint Eldorado, I would buy it to add to the aresnal!

Not quite...

Eldorado has the full "ED180" disc range, toggle for all-metal / disc / battery check, a lower 10kHz transmit frequency, no pinpoint button and a nicer audio tone. It's not the same machine as the Vaquero.
No Tesoro collection is complete without one (or two..).

Pinenut, hook me up on one

I'm hanging on to both of mine.
They do show up on ebay every couple of months though, and often sell for about what a used Cibola does. Worth picking up a nice one if the price is right.

Man that's a lot of Tesoros!----When do you find time to use 'em all?

Are you guys talking about the Eldorado's Micromax or the eldorado box under the pole design.

The newer, plastic housing Eldorado. I like it better than the Vaquero, which replaced it.

Deeptech Vista smart.....Name says it all... My most favorite, I loved tesoros but this machine has done better for me in the style of hunting I do....Mostly old home sites where I want to dig everything that isn't iron. And a Fisher Cz 5 or 6....Hits hard on deep round thingies ! My favorite old park machine. BooM

Pretty hard to decide. But if you had to limit yourself to only 2 beep and dig machine's, which two ?
Another way to ask this question. If you were limited to only 2,which ones?

Myself I would keep my Pulse Induction Infinium. Second I would trade up my Compardre for a Golden uMax.

Years later, sold the Compardre, bought Vista X. Sold the Infiinium, bought a Tarsacci. Liked those 2 machines alot, but no regrets.

Looking at this thread from 10 yrs ago is interesting. Most of the posters are gone along with companies.

What else to say, @D&P-OR ?
But back to fred.
After selling my DeLeon yrs ago(I found an MXT sufficient and I prefer the White's tones),
I now have two Tesoros in my arsenal.
I was very lucky to acquire these both: the Bandido II and the Silver Sabre II. (No µ's)

The Eldorado uses 5 pin coils while the Vaquero uses 4 pin.
