Deep Machine for Sure

Brandon Moore in Newry Maine - best
Well I have had the Tesoro Vaquero about a month now. Once you get aqainted with the ground balance, you will acheive great depth. I recently tried Vaquero on a fresh water beach and found the backing of a ear ring about 11" deep, and it was the size of a bb (bird shot). I was using the All Metal mode with threshold tone. I'm going back to the old home sites to listen to faint signals and find those rare coins! I will say that if you can't afford the Tejon, this is the next best machine at $420.00. It will run successfully with $1000.00 machines all day long. Once you try manual ground balance, get acustommed to it, you'll never go back to auto again.

Great All Around Machine

Trent Nunley in Minot AFB - best
Best machine I have owned. I have had most major brand machines and the Vaquero is super lite (2.2 pounds). Goes real deep, only takes one 9 volt battery, which lasts good 15 hours or more, and has a life time warranty. I have hunted right along people using 1000 dollar machines and done just as good as them and, in a lot of cases, better. This detector is easy to ground balance, and you can swing it all day with no problems. The Vaquero is a fantastic machine with a very small learning curve and it has great performance. Love it!
