I am a great fan of Tesoro. I use a Tejon for relic hunting and could not be happier, it is light, lightning fast and deep.
I need a backup detector though. The Tejon is great for relics but for coins I would prefer a metered machine.
I bought an X-Terra 705 to use for coin hunting and as a back up relic detector. It is a fine machine for coins but for relics, it just won't find the iron relics in discriminate, like my Tejon will find the iron objects in discriminate. My Tejon talks to me and I understand what it is saying.
There is a shortage of 705's now and I am seriously thinking of selling the 705 and maybe going with the Tesoro Cortes as both a back up machine and a coin machine. Problem is that there is not much information on the Cortes. I have read a few reviews on some of these forums and also googled Cortes but not much out there.
Seems like most people opt out for the cheaper, but killer Tesoro machines and kind of shy away from the more expensive Cortes.
So I am having a big argument in my head. Do I sell the 705, which would sell quickly right now and buy a Cortes, or do I keep the 705?
