The best detectors in the world !!! why it was not possible to continue small production? I wish you a return to production, customers return to analogues.

[@petervandenbosch6353]

Greetings from Belgium, great video. Love these Tessoro's, they are awesome. I'm the proud owner of 8 Tesoro's for the moment.

[@cristianomaker]

Thanks for this amazing video!

[@MustangFastback]

I've watched this 10 times or so and I'm sure I'll watch it at least 20 more :) Tesoro, baby!

[@luisvillarreal5262]

@ 2:35, The coil will only work if the epoxy is poured out of a popcorn cup and onto the winding. This way you get a nice buttery flavor from your targets. LOL. ;)

[@paulsherrod1365]

Good luck to Tesoro.Good people

[@Crow4gold]

Awesome. Thanks for the Video. I have a lobo super traq and enjoy it very much.

[@delticrobo]

Would it be possible to see the full Tesoro factory Tour video? Thanks.

[@GoTreasureHunting]

It is closed - They went out of business two-years ago. Sorry

[@delticrobo]

@@GoTreasureHunting Thanks. Yes I did know this but I was wondering if there is a full recording of the full Tesoro factory visit available?

[@bleirdo_dude]

Still swing a Silver Umax, and Compadre. RIP Tesoro 😢

[@phrunt]

an old popcorn cup to pour the resin into the coil :)

[@MustangFastback]

Thanks for posting this :)

Too bad that Tesoro went out of business. They sure made some great detectors. Lifetime warranty, they couldn't be beat for customer service. I still love my Tesoro detectors.

[@jt-it5ot]

I bought the Tesoro lobo super traq,
I purchased the machine online,
it is about brand new, I even bought
a extra AA battery pack for it,
it came with a hip mount as well,
I wanted to find the best condition
gold detector beings Tesoro is out
of business, can't wait to use it😊

[@horseman528]

@@jt-it5ot Its good for hunting coins too. All around great detector. The LBST had a lot of fans at one time.

[@jt-it5ot]

@@horseman528 I also have a old Garrett freedom three coin commander, 7.5 inch search coil, I had to get one brand new as well,
It all started in 1986 I bought a Garrett am 2,
I just love looking for jewelry coins, etc

[@jt-it5ot]

@@horseman528 I always have preferred the
old turn knob, or switch metal detectors,
Over the digital push button, number system detectors of the new era,
detectors have really changed

[@horseman528]

I love my four Tesoro's. I've got a Lobo Super Traq, a Vaquero, a Deleon, and a Mojave. Wouldn't trade any of them. Its just sad that Tesoro went out of business. I'm glad I snatched up a Mojave. I heard they only made around 150 of them. I keep hoping they will change their minds and go back in business. I don't know exactly why they closed; it may have been their profits weren't keeping up with their overhead, or maybe the owners just lost interest and wanted to do something else. I don't know.

[@dr.detroit1514]

I think the problem was trying to maintain largely analog and manual knob adjustment detector sales in a touch button and computerized everything display screen world. It's like a department store trying to sell old style manual knob channel changing and volume control black and white tv's in a remote control high definition flat screen tv market. Most people are attracted to the new whizz bang stuff and features. I had a Bandido II Micromax years ago, If I where to get back into detecting again, I would like to have another one of those again.

[@horseman528]

@@dr.detroit1514 That's why I liked them and still do. They are simple and sturdy and the pin pointing, target separation, and discrimination were as good or better than most. I can hit a quarter at six inches with the Mojave when the discrimination is maxed out. They're good to cherry pick with when hunting in junky areas, but I wonder if that lifetime warranty was hitting them in the pocket book pretty hard with all the detectors that were sent in for whatever reason to repair. I heard James wanted to be a chef and Vince wasn't really all that interested in metal detecting in the first place, but I don't know how accurate that is. Could be just hearsay.

[@detectiemetale3769]

Very nice !

[@tasteegold7772]

like tesoros no nonsense low cost and high quality approach to detectors.my sand shark kills the beach here in florida

[@stacyadiaz]

Copper prices have gone through the roof as well as other precious metals used in wiring and electronic components. It looks like the company also hand builds most of their machines and doesn't rely on automation with factors into their overhead price. I'm buying one of their machines....their are a bit pricey, but are American made and have a lifetime warranty.

[@nokiot9]

I didn't know they were based out of Prescott...

[@hank6887]

American made product !

[@goldmanjace]

Minelab is even more rediculous! Btw, I have been detecting for 25 years ;-)

[@goldmanjace]

interesting. Such cheap matierials and such few amount of matierals used, a huge amount produced yet still so expensive????

[@jeffjohnson1302]

Guess they were not good at marketing...LOL

[@ИванРодстванепомнящий-о7х]

У них не было маркетолога...

[@GoTreasureHunting]

Верный.

[@tasteegold7772]

you must be kidding..OR new to detecting..dont ever look at minelabs prices or you'll have a coronary

[@raymondingrahamsr9466]

old....

[@GoTreasureHunting]

Yes, VERY! I wonder if they will ever re-open?
