The Excalibur II is a fully submersible multifrequency VLF metal detector aimed primarily at coin, jewelry, and saltwater beach detecting. The 200 foot maximum depth makes the Excalibur II suitable for use while SCUBA diving. Note that as a diving detector both the headphones and coil are hardwired into the control box and cannot be changed.

"The World’s Best Water Detector! Minelab’s unique Broad Band Spectrum (BBS) technology, combined with superior ground rejecting technology, makes the Excalibur II the ideal underwater machine. The design of the Minelab Excalibur II allows you to use it as effectively in or out of the water - this amphibious machine can move seamlessly from land, beach and wet sand conditions to underwater depths of up to 200 ft (66m). With superior ground cancelling, false signals from detecting in salt water are greatly reduced. Enjoy the simple yet effective discrimination and be surprised at the sensitivity and depth you uncover targets from. Whether you are a long time diver or a casual beachcomber the Excalibur II is unbeatable for working the beach, wading in the shallows or diving a wreck at 200 feet for treasures."

"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 Cortés, so you can expect the same depth and sensitivity from the DeLeón that the Cortés is already well known for. The DeLeón’s display screen is one character high by eight characters wide. It is larger and easier to read than the Cortés 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." Source: Tesoro 2007 catalog

"The versatile Vaquero is an all-around detector designed to do just about anything a detectorist could want. 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. What enhances the Vaquero’s versatility is its 3-3/4-turn manual-adjust ground balance, which gives the detectorist the capability to set up the machine to suit mineralization conditions and personal treasure-hunting style. We’ve also added an ED180 discrimination feature for filtering trash from treasure, a push-button pinpoint for easier digging, and a VCO-style all-metal operating mode—features that give the Vaquero its “do anything” power.

"The Outlaw represents the return of true no motion, all-metal treasure hunting. This detector is a continuation of the Bandido series of metal detectors, which was designed with all of the controls needed to get maximum performance from its machines. Like its predecessors, the Outlaw has discrimination, sensitivity, threshold, and ground balance adjustments. Its “Retune” button is used to reduce the response from the metal, which shrinks the target area and allows for precise pinpointing. The Outlaw is available with either an 8” round concentric coil, or a three-pack of coils: 5.75” round concentric, 8” round concentric, and 12x10” widescan. The 8” coil provides great balance between depth and sensitivity, and is an efficient pinpointer. The 5.75” coil utilizes tremendous sensitivity, making it an optimal tool for pinpointing targets. The 12x10” coil is less susceptible to ground effects, which means it is perfect for heavily mineralized sites or hunting larger targets." Source: Tesoro 2013 catalog
