Observations: Tesoro Metal Detectors has a very distinctive and appealing concept, to create reliable, easy to use, light and portable metal detectors. It's not by chance that there's a cult of followers and even collectors of these machines and the Vaquero and the Cibola are not exceptions, both machines carry Tesoro's new technology called H.O.T, which stands for High Output Technology, or in simple words, more depth and sensitivity to small targets.
When comparing the Cibola and the Vaquero, we noticed they are quite the same in performance, both are very sensitive to small targets like lead bird-shots (don't forget gold!) and deep, but the edge on depth clearly favors the Vaquero because of the manual ground balance capability. Both machines operate with a single 9V battery and they have the famous Tesoro's life-time warranty (only in US).
The conclusion is: That the Vaquero would be the best option for experienced users or for hunting on very mineralized grounds. The Cibola would be the best option for novices, for hunting on mild soils, or even for users who wish a very capable and affordable machine to have as a backup along with their more expensive machines.
The Vaquero and the Cibola offer rock solid performance and they are both fun and easy to use machines for Coin and/or Relic hunting. For some users though, one negative aspect could be these being single-tone metal detectors.
Tesoro Vaquero: $525.00
Tesoro Cibola: $425.00
