Default Any experience with Tesoro Cibola?

Anybody using the Cibola? Every review i see seems to be a rave. The light weight mite be just the thing for this 63 yr old body. Anybody have opinions on this unit?

I read very good things about it also. I really think it would be a great unit to try out. The warranty, light weight, and easy to use factor are nice. I hope somebody that has used one will chime in, good luck with the decesion, Beale.

Hi Flyer Dog,

I have one and like it. But to be honest, I only bought it for competetion hunts, but have played with after the hunts and it is a good performer, it's light weight, easy to use, goes plenty deep and by manipulating the discrimination, you can pretty much tell what is in the ground.

I don't think you'll have any regrets with it.....Good Luck.

For the money its a tough one to beat. Very lightweight and is a real performer in a lot of conditions. If you want to upgrade or add onto your equipment this is one that will compliment them quite a bit.
