It isn't always about the most expensive or powerful detector. Certain machines are just "fun" to use for some reason. What machine was that for you? On the other hand, which machine was the least amount of fun for you as well? Remember, not talking performance here. Just pure impressions of what was fun or not fun to you for some reason.
Many people say (probably more so than any other brand in my general experience) that they have great fun with their Tesoros. Never met a so passionate group of people who seem to truly enjoy the sport and the fun factor of just digging, regardless of what they find. Oddly, for me the two Tesoros I owned were probably the least amount of fun I ever had. Not having tone alerts or a VDI made avoiding a lot of trash a real hassle for me. I just felt "blind" when hunting. Other than that they sure were light machines, and in that sense they were very "fun" to just go out and use. I can see where people with the mindset of digging it all and having fun seeing what pops up would love those machines. Who needs a VDI or tone alerts when it's just plain old fun to see what the next target is. Not knocking them, just saying it takes different folks for different detectors. I owned the VLF Tesoro water machine (forget the name but they still make it) and it was the best constructive water unit I've ever seen in terms of the battery compartment and all that.
