The Conquistador conquers any
so-called
Relic Detector
"Someone
finally built a machine that finds relics by the
bucket-load! I gotta tell you, I am obsessed with
the Civil War, and my relic chest has never looked better since
I started using the Conquistador. If you're anything like
I used to be, you're probably happy to bring home a decent
button, Enfield bullet, or a knapsack hook. Since I bought
this machine, I've set my standards higher. I won't go
home until I've dug at least five buttons. It gets better
than that though! My friend and I recently dug a total of
28 US belt plates along with two sword belt plates using this
detector in an area we've hunted for years. Unfortunately,
a few of these plates were heavily corroded since they sat in
the groundwater so long (not surprising out of 16" deep
holes). Of the ones I've cleaned, though, most have washed
up real nice.
Speaking
of which...My only problem now is that I've got a huge box
of dirty finds that I don't have the time to clean since I'm
too busy digging up as many killer relics as daylight will
allow. Gotta love it!"

Conquistador µMax
The Conquistador joined the
Tesoro lineup only recently, but has already made quite an
impression. It was the first Tesoro detector to have a frequency shifter. Both relic hunters and competition hunters
immediately fell in love with the unit. The detector's
versatility proved to be the match for some of the toughest
conditions in the world.

The Conquistador µMax is a direct
replacement for the Conquistador using Tesoro's latest technology to make
the original a little better. First, they used their latest
microprocessor controlled PCB. The microprocessor controls the audio
tone, frequency shift and the battery test for the Conquistador µMax.
The mode switch has been changed to include the switchable battery
test. Tesoro also added a VCO all metal pinpointing feature.
The most noticeable change is that the Frequency shift switch has been
moved up to the front of the faceplate. The "trigger
switch" on the original Conquistador was great if you were right
handed, but lefties had a bit of a problem with the placement. The
Conquistador comes with a standard 9x8 coil.
