Hello everybody,
I just got into MD with the hubby. Bought him a new Whites VX3 and we have been cleaning up our yard for practice. It's taking a bit to get used to, but I think we are getting to know the VX3 a bit better now, although it's a lot of machine.
I've found that it's a bit on the heavy side for me to swing comfortably, which is fine as it was his Christmas and birthday present (for the next several years...). So now I'm looking to get a lighter, starter machine for me to use.
I'm debating between three machines, all very different:
- New Tesoro Compadre
- New Whites TreasureMaster
- Used Tesoro Lobo Supertraq
I'm hoping for some advice on which would be best, NOT based on price. I'm going to be detecting in our yard, maybe some friends yards, a park, or very occasionally the (dry) beach near Charleston, SC....hoping to find pretty much anything, whether it's old coins, rings, or clad... and gold would be a sweet find.
I'm leaning very heavily towards the Lobo, but is a used Tesoro worth getting without the Warranty? I did read on their website if you are not the original owner it is $50 for a "tune-up"
Thanks in advance for your opinions
