Back to using a simple but effective detector, good to have a Tesoro (Vaquero) again.

I'll never hate on a detector, research pays off more. My buddy took his $50 Walmart detector into my spot and cleaned out Spanish silvers. Hopefully you get something good!

Enjoy your Tesoro, and please keep us posted on your finds! When you have a detector that you like and that you've learned to understand & operate well, I think that can be even better than having a super high-end one.

When I got my Nox 600, I did not get rid of my Vaquero. It may be a backup, but it's one heck of a backup.

I posted a new thread asking this question:

Have you searched in water with you Vaquero?

I should have looked at already posted threads first to ask my question.

I am not a water hunter, but I am not sure I would try that. Tesoro had two water detectors, the Sand Shark (PI) and Tiger Shark. I don't thing the Vaquero was meant for water. Sand, yes. Water, No.

I have thought about going back to one of my favorite old detectors, but the weight keeps me swinging a newer model.

We know it is knowledge (location & how to use your detector) that really accounts for success. Well, that and luck sometimes LOL.

I wish I had bought a Tesoro, always wanted one. It seems even the older models, are still doing great.

Great to see you are back at it! I have two Compadre's still, and even though I don't use them all that much, I still like 'em.
