or scroll through menus. Set the detector how you like it by adjusting the knobs on the front

of the machine. The Cortés features an On/Off Sensitivity knob; a Discriminate Level knob; a Manual Ground Balance knob; a Mode Switch with All Metal, Discriminate and Sum mode settings; a NotchWidth switch with Off, Narrow and Wide settings and a Light switch to control the LCD backlight witha High, Low, and Off positions.The Cortés fits into a package that weighs just less than three pounds (including the batteries!) and is covered under Tesoro's Lifetime Warranty. The Tesoro Cortés makes target ID easy and fun. Contact your local dealer or the factory for more information.

We are very proud to introduce the Tejón. It features a high output transmit oscillator to

 push the signal deeper and an increased gain for sensitivity to smaller items. The Tejón was designed from the ground up with the coin and relic hunter in mind. It also features a new

color scheme from Tesoro- blue, gray and black. The Tejón was over a year and a half in the design stages and representsa new generation of Tesoro detectors. The Tejón’s two discrimi

nate modes are fully user definable. The engineers at Tesoro have given the user the ability

to set the machine for their hunting needs. Each discriminate mode uses ED180 circuitry. T

he regular discriminatealso incorporates a full-time all metal setting. Want to hunt in all me

tal and check the targets for iron or discriminate out iron andperform a check for high value silver or gold targets? It’s no problem for the Tejón. Simply set the Discriminate and Alterna

te Discriminate modes for your style of hunting and swing the coil. Then usethe Trigger Swit

ch to quickly change modes to check your targets. Push the trigger forward to activatethe Alternate Discriminate or pull the trigger back to pinpoint the target. The Tejón makes it fast andeasy.While the Tesoro Tejón was designed mostly for coin and relic hunters, its user definable controls are simple and easy to use making it able to handle just about any type of treasure hunting that you may wish to try.

During the design phase of the Vaquero (pronounced va-care-oh), we knew that it was going

to be a very hard working detector. It is designed as an all-around detector, able to do just

about everything that any detectorist could want to do. Vaquero is the Spanish word for cowboy. When we think of hard work and the ability to take on any kind of tough job, we thi

nk of the cowboys of the old west.The main part of the Vaquero’s versatility is its three and three-quarters manually adjusted ground balance. This will give the detectorist the power to

set up his machine to best suit the mineralization conditions that he is working in and his personal treasure hunting style. The Vaquero adds an ED180 discrimination feature to filter

the trash from the treasure and a Push Button Pinpoint that makes digging up the goodies

that much easier. The discriminate knob is also used to switch into threshold-based All

Metal Mode

The Tiger Shark uses microprocessor technology to create a true dual function machine. In Normal Mode, the Tiger Shark works like any other Tesoro detector. It uses the same great ground balance and discrimination features that made the Bandido series so successful. On

land, the Tiger Shark can be used for coin and relic hunting and even gold prospecting. By

using the four controls on the outside, you can fine tune your detector to handle whatever conditions you are working in.Working in the wet salt areas is where the Tiger Shark outshi

nes the land detectors. In land conditions, the most crucial adjustment is using the ground balance to tune out mineralization. In wet salt conditions, changes in the conductivity in th

e sand cause most of the problems. The Tiger Shark uses a completely different set of intern

al settings in the SALT Mode than in the NORM Mode. There are no special controls or techniques to remember.The Tiger Shark continues in the tradition of other great Tesoro underwater machines by having interchangeable coils available. Along with the 8" coil that comes standard with the detector, we also manufacture a 7" and a 10 1/2" coil.

Our new Sand Shark combines time-proven PI circuits with the latest digital technology creating the first microprocessor controlled PI detector for the new Millennium.

Pulse Induction (PI) detectors have always been the natural choice for working wet salt beaches. Their circuitry and single loop coils will not see changes in salt-water conductivity that drive a VLF-style detector crazy. Add Tesoro Electronics' exclusive interchangeable Printed Spiral coils (available in four sizes) and you create a fantastic PI detector. But we didn't stop there.

The Sand Shark has two distinct operating modes: VCO and Normal. When working in the VCO mode, as targets get closer to the coil, the threshold generates a louder, higher pitched tone great for pinpointing. The Normal mode works with a single tone and is used for beachcombing and other prolonged searches.

We've added a microprocessor to help you customize the detector to your specific needs. Our Pulse Width control allows you to tune your detector to the best balance of depth, sensitivity, and battery life. You can also change the Normal mode audio frequency. Simply use the "F" Adjust knob to set the tone and you're ready to go. The Sand Shark also has a new drop-in battery compartment for quick and easy changes.

The Tesoro Sand Shark will change the way that you think about pulse detectors.

                                             SEARCH    COILS

There are two main types of searchcoils currently on the market – the concentric and the widescan.

The concentric coil uses two round antennas, one inside the other. This coil is used on most detectors that are designed for coin, jewelry, and relic hunting. Concentric coils discriminate very well and pinpoint very easily because the strongest signal is always in the center of the coil.

Widescan coils use two D-shaped antennas that are placed back to back. Because of this configuration, they are also called “double-d” coils. The widescan coil is less affected by mineralization than the concentric, so it is generally used for gold prospecting or relic hun

ting in bad ground. Pinpointing is done with the heel or toe of the coil. After determining the type of coil that is best for your type of hunting, the next thing to consider is the size.

There are many different sizes of coils available and each one may fine tune your hunting but only if you get the correct size. Larger coils go deeper than smaller coils but only on larger targets. When using a large coil, you may lose sensitivity to small targets. A large coil is also more susceptible to masking. Masking happens in the discriminate mode when a good target and junk target are both under the coil at the same time. If the targets are close enough together, the bad target will be discriminated out, and at the same time, the detector will not

 be able to pick up the good target. Masking is very common in junky playgrounds and in-and-around old house sites. Smaller coils will concentrate the signal and make the detector more sensitive to the little targets. Unfortunately, smaller coils tend to lose depth when compared

to their larger cousins. Being that these coils don‘t have as wide a search pattern, they are also less likely to mask targets in trashy hunting situations.

The 9x8 and the 12x10 are spoked coils that use Sinusoidal Technology. This technology creates a detection bubble that works from the center of the coil to beyond its edges. These

coils produce an infinite number of electromagnetic flux lines, which surround the coil and penetrate deep into the ground. As targets pass through the bubble, they start interfering

with or breaking the flux lines. The detector reads the interruption of flux lines and a signal

 is produced. When you saturate the ground with these flux lines, you're guaranteed better sensitivity to smaller targets and more depth on larger targets.

The Clean Sweep (18" by 3.6") uses widescan technology to provide tip-to-tip sensitivity. A wider detecting sweep means less time over unproductive ground and more time finding the goodies you want. The widescan design resists changes in mineralization.

Another style, the Printed Spiral, is made only by Tesoro for use with pulse induction circuitry. It offers good sensitivity to a broader range of target sizes and improved

 sensitivity to less conductive targets such as fine gold chains.

Knowing where you are going to hunt and what you are hunting for will go a long way in

helping you choose the right coil for your needs. A larger coil is needed when hunting in a clean area or when hunting for relics that may tend to be deeper. A small coil will help find  the smaller targets such as gold nuggets or fine jewelry or can be used when coin & jewelry hunting extremely trashy sites. 

All searchcoils are electrostatically shielded and waterproof.

The DeLeón is a Target Identification Detector or T.I.D. The DeLeón is designed as an easy to use, turn-on-and-go detector. The faceplate has only four controls: Sensitivity, Discriminate, Threshold and a Mode Switch. It uses the same circuitry as the Cortés, so you can expect the same depth and sensitivity from the DeLeón that the Cortés is well known for.

The DeLeón's display screen is one character high by eight characters wide. It is larger and easier to read than the Cortés display but does not carry as much information. Starting from  left to right on the faceplate, you will see that the DeLeón has a Coin Depth reading, a five segment bar graph and a two-digit Target ID Number. The bar graph shows several categories for ID purposes, but we recommend thatit be used with the ID Number for the most accurate information.

The Cibola (pronounced see-bow-lah) combines H.O.T. circuitry with turn-on-and-go simplicity. It is designed for the treasure hunter that does not want to bother with too many controls. The Cibola is named after one of the fabled seven cities of gold that the conquistadors were searching after and will simplify the search for any treasures to be found.

The Cibola’s main search mode is an ED 180 Silent Search discriminate. A threshold-based All Metal is accessed by the Push Button Pinpoint mode. The ease of use for the Cibola makes it the perfect detector for both the metal detecting novice as well as the treasure hunter that has been around for a while.

Strong, Simple, Silent... Still

The Silver Sabre series has had a very long history with Tesoro Electronics. It was first introduced in 1983. In a time when "lunch box" detectors were the norm, the original Silver Sabre was perceived as a toy unit. There have been many men who bought one for the wife and wound up using it because it worked as well as any other detector

 on the market. Advertised as "strong, simple, silent", the Silver Sabre has gone through many changes over the years. The Silver Sabre Plus added a no motion all metal circuit.

 The Silver Sabre Plus added a no motion all metal circuit. The Silver Sabre II added

 a new plastic housing and new Hybrid Circuit technology. Several years ago we introduced the Silver Sabre µMax with an incredibly small housing and Max Boost technology. A number of men bought one for their wife and wound up using it because it worked as well as any other detector on the market. (Sounds familiar doesn't it?)

We have decided to bring the Silver back full circle to where it started. The original Silver

Sabre was a turn on and go detector with Silent Search discrimination and all metal modes.

The new Silver µMax returns to its roots and offers strong, silent and simple operation once again. The Silver µMax uses a microprocessor to control the audio tone and battery test. It will come with an 8" Concentric coil and our latest plastic faceplate.

The Tesoro Compadre was designed with the idea that less is more. This modest machine can do a lot of the same things that its bigger brothers can do.

 It works great for coin hunting, competition hunting and relic hunting, but it does it without any excess knobs. Switch on the detector and you're working in a silent search, motion all metal mode. The farther you turn the knob, the more discrimination you can bring to bear on those trashy sites.

 The Compadre now comes standard with a 5.75" round concentric coil. The depth is equivalent to the original 7" concentric, plus the new coil reduces the likelihood of target masking in extremely trashy ground. It also gives you the ability to get into and around natural obstacles like bushes, fences, and playground equipment.

The Compadre has it all. One knob simplicity for the beginner and high gain circuitry and the famous Tesoro ED-180 discrimination for the advanced user. If one detector can do all of this, maybe less is more.
