The versatile Vaquero (pronounced va-care-oh), was designed as an all-around detector, able to do just about everything that any detectorist could want to do. Named after the Spanish word for "cowboy" the Vaquero lives up to the hard-working, take-on-the-tough-jobs reputation that made cowboys in the Old West famous.
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 has 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 a threshold-based All Metal Mode. The Vaquero is the ultimate go-anywhere treasure tool!

High Output Technology (H.O.T. Technology) combines the increased transmitted signal and the high gain amplification of the return signal to get the best depth and sensitivity out of lightweight, compact detectors. When a detector becomes chirpy, the most common reason is the noise to signal ratio. Signal refers to the information being passed through the circuitry and noise is any type of other interference. As the signal is amplified, the noise gets amplified as well. Tesoro uses high tolerance components and designs them into the circuit to create a lower noise to signal ratio.
