The Tesoro Cortes metal detector was introduced in 2001 and ceased production in 2018. It is a 10 kHz VLF metal detector aimed primarily at coin, jewelry, and relic detecting.
"Get the best of the Epsilon series with visual and audio identification, notch filter and pre-set ground balance in discrimination mode, and manual ground adjustment in all-metal mode. The Cortes’ VID (Visual Identification) system works in two ways: the detector samples the target and provides a nine-segment bar graph of the entire signal, and a two-digit identification number shows the ID at the maximum signal strength. In addition to the expansive information provided by the VID, the Cortes boasts nine different tones for superior audio identification. Never guess a target again." Source: Tesoro 2013 catalog
