Tesoro
Tesoro Electronics was an American company specializing in the manufacture of metal detectors that gained fame for its reliable and simple instruments. The company was founded in 1980 and operated until its closure in 2018. It was headquartered in Prescott, Arizona. Tesoro It was known for its philosophy focused on simplicity and efficiency, which meant that their detectors offered solid performance without complicated controls. Their products were especially valued among recreational searchers for their user-friendliness and affordability.
Key technologies and approaches:
Tesoro focused on analog circuitry and manual discrimination controls, which was attractive to many users. The company avoided digital displays and complex programmable functions to ensure ease of use and reliable performance.
Principal engineers and development team:
- Jack Giffordthe company's founder, was a key engineer and the driving force behind the success of Tesoro's products. His philosophy was built on designing detectors that are simple to use, yet provide superior sensitivity and reliability.
- Other developers and team members have been involved in the development of technologies that useanalogue discrimination circuits, but the names of individual engineers other than Jack Gifford are not widely published.
Important models:
- Tesoro Silver uMax: This model was known for its simplicity, lightweight design, and excellent performance on coins and jewelry. The Silver uMax was popular with beginners because of its reliability and ease of use.
- Tesoro Vaquero: It offered manual ground balance tuning, which allowed for better performance in challenging conditions. It was highly regarded for its depth detection and versatility.
- Tesoro Cibola: A model aimed at users who were looking for a detector with a fixed ground balance setting, which simplified operation.
- Tesoro Lobo SuperTRAQ: A specialized detector aimed at finding gold. It was equipped with an automatic ground balance system that allowed accurate detections even in heavily mineralized soils.
Key features and approach:
- Analog technology: the company stuck with analog circuits that provided fast and accurate response.
- Simplicity and Efficiency: Tesoro focused on developing detectors that were easy to use yet offered excellent performance. This simplicity appealed particularly to recreational searchers who preferred intuitive instruments.
- Lightweight design: detectors were often lightweight and ergonomically designed, allowing long searches without fatigue.
Legacy and reasons for discontinuation:
Tesoro Electronics closed in 2018, due in part to increasing competition from manufacturers who offered digital and multi-frequency technologies. Although the company has ceased operations, its products are still popular among the search engine community due to their simplicity and quality. Jack Gifford and his team left a legacy of detectors that are synonymous with reliability and intuitive use.
