Found an As New Vaquero for $320 and couldn't resist. So now i am going to have to learn to ground balance, work with threshold hum, what else? Any and all tips, advice, comments, welcome.

It's all about that moment when metal that hasn't seen the light of day for generations frees itself from the soil and presents itself to me.

Hello Rebel . You bought a Great Machine at a Good Price !!! I read excellent reviews about the Vaquero . Tesoro is always a smart choice !!

Thanks GD and Eugene. Yea, i have heard nothing but good about the Vaquero, or any Tesoro for that matter. Should be here by Sat or Mon. Can't wait to try it out. Theni have to decide if i am going to keep it or the Ace 250. I just got the brand new Excelerator 10x14" coil for the Ace this evening about 6:30. If i sell the Ace the new unused Excelerator coil will be included with it.

Rebel, I think the Tesoro should outperform your Ace but just give it a try and see what works best for you. Don't worry about teh Groundbalance and Treshhold too much. If I'm not mistaken it only appl?es for the Allmetal mode but you will be detecting in Disc mode most of the time anyway.

Best wishes,

Christian

Hay Reb,

Christian is mistaken about the ground balance on the Vaquero.
The ground balance adjust the discrimination mode as well as
the all metal mode.

The Cortez and and a maybe couple of others are that way, but
not the Vaquero.

There used to be a video on the Tesoro site about how to ground
balance a Tesoro. It will work for the Vaquero, Eldorado and so on.
I have saved the video so that you can watch it. You may find it
helpful. You can not get this anywhere but Thunter.

Thank you Tab. The Vaquero just arrived today. Unfortunately so did some unexpected bills so i have to sell a couple of detectors. I have three for sale and whichever ones sell first i will keep the other. Figure i may wind up with a Compadre and a Fisher 1212X or at least one of those 2. Thanks for the video though, it may still be useful. Take care.
