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.

 

Compadre  RRP $399

The Compadre has it all. One knob simplicity for the beginner and high gain circuitry and the famous Tesoro ED180 discrimination for the advanced user. If one detector can do all of this, maybe less is more.

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. Advertised as "strong, simple and 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 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. Many men bought one for their wife and wound up using it because it worked as well as any other detector..

 Silver µMax RRP $580

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

 Cortes Circuity

Silver Sabre

Simplicity

T he DeLeÓn is named after the famous explorer Ponce de Leon, who searched Florida looking for treasure and the fountain of youth. 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 Cortes, so you can expect the same depth and sensitivity from the DeLeÓn that the Cortes is already well known for.

DeLeÓn  RRP $1185

The DeLe6n's display screen is one character high by eight characters wide. It is larger and easier to read than the Cortes display.  Starting from left to right on the illustration, 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 that it be used with the ID Number for the most accurate information.

The Sand Shark combines time-proven PI circuits with the latest digital technology creating the first microprocessor controlled PI detector for the 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 can drive a VLF-style detector crazy. Add Tesoro's exclusive interchangeable Printed Spiral coils (available in four sizes) and you create a fantastic PI detector.

Sand Shark  RRP $1360

'The Sand Shark has two distinct operating modes: VCO and Normal. Plus we've added a microprocessor to help you customize the detector to your specific needs. The Pulse Width control allows you to tune your detector to the best balance of depth, sensitivity and battery life. You can also change the audio frequency in the Normal Mode. Simply use the "F" Adjust knob and set the tone and you're ready to go.  The Tesoro Sand Shark will change the way that you think about Pulse Induction detectors.

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. On land, it can be used for coin and relic hunting and even gold prospecting. By using the four controls on the outside of the housing, you can fine-tune your detector to handle whatever conditions you are working in.

Tiger Shark   RRP $1498

'Working in the wet salt area is where the Tiger Shark shines. In wet salt conditions, changes in the conductivity of the sand and surf cause most of the problems.  The Tiger Shark uses a completely different set of internal settings in the SALT Mode than in the NORM Mode. There are no special controls or techniques to remember. The Tiger Shark continues the tradition of other great Tesoro underwater machines by having interchangeable searchcoils.

Bridging the Analog and Digital Worlds`

 The Cortes combines user-friendly analog controls with state of the art digital signal processing to create an easy to use Target Identification Detector. The Cortes doesn't need several books or videos so you can "unlock" its secrets. Simply turn it on and you're ready to hunt.

In the Discrimination Mode, the Cortes uses a factory preset ground balance. So there is no need to fiddle with a bunch of controls.

The simple and functional meter gives you extensive amounts of information to work with. The top row's alphanumeric read out gives you target information in the broadest strokes. All targets fall into one of four categories: Iron or Foil; Nickel, Pull Tab, Ring; Zinc Penny, Screw Cap; Copper Cent, Silver Coin. This brief information leads you to the lower row's more detailed data.

Cortes  RRP $1660

The most prominent feature on the lower row is a nine segment bar graph. It shows all of the information that the detector saw during the complete sweep of the coil. Full sweep data is helpful in determining possible treasure/trash masking and odd-shaped iron. We have also added a peak signal ID Number. The Cortes displays the largest part of the signal as a two digit number from 0 to 95. Iron reads as 0 and copper and silver coins read 95.

By clearly defining the two ends of the scale, we were able to put higher resolution into the middle range. This is the area where pull tabs, nickels and gold rings intermingle. By using the bar graph and peak ID number, you are able to identify pull tabs and other trash that is native to your local area. Taking the time to learn these pesky targets will ultimately lead to better finds and less trash digging.

To complement the digital display, we have added two separate features. The first is a three-position notch filter discrimination. Notch filter discrimination allows you to knock out a portion of the trash targets without affecting other valuable targets.

The second is the Sum Mode. While in the Sum Mode, the Cortes averages coil sweeps and activates a multi-tone ID. In use, the coil sweeps should be shortened to about 2" to 4". As the microprocessor compiles the target data, the ID tones change. When the tones stop changing, the Cortes displays the most accurate target identification available.

For the more experienced user who may be searching for treasure in tougher surroundings, the Cortes offers an All Metal Mode that has a fully adjustable ground balance, which can be tuned to meet almost any soil condition imaginable.  While in the All Metal Mode, the display continues to show all target information.

From the beginner to the pro, the Cortes is able to meet the needs of any detectorist. Simple analog controls, easy to read dig­ital meter, preset or manual ground balance all housed in a pack­age that weighs less than three pounds with batteries. Who knew that full function target ID was so easy or fun!
