Happy Monday! Any prospectors in CA and taking advantage of this?

Greetings, Hunters! In November, we published a selection of names for our new machine. You voted, we tallied, and the verdict is "Cazador."

Cazador means "Hunter" in Spanish. Many of you showed interest in keeping the Spanish name tradition that Tesoro has held for years.

We will keep you posted on any information that we can share about our newest machine. For now (if it's not too cold where you are!), hunt on!

It's so sunny today in Prescott, AZ. If we weren't here running the factory, we'd be treasure hunting! How are you all coping with the frozen ground blues?

We hope 2014 is going well so far for all of you hunters! Tesoro's "elves" are back in business making the detectors we all know and love. Happy New Year!

John Womack, a 10-year-long detectorist, had an article written about a great find with his Outlaw. Metal detecting brings joy, and not only to the treasure hunter!

Sherry Hammer is a faithful person, appreciative of all life has provided her, but this Thanksgiving she gave an extra prayer for a friend who made it his mission to return a long-forgotten gold band to her finger.

Wishing you all a Happy Thanksgiving (and Hanukkah!). We will be closed tomorrow and Friday. Have a safe, fun, and joyous holiday!

Hunters, what are your thoughts on this article? These days, we see lots of children (and toddlers, as young as two years old) using tablets and smartphones. This article talks about the potential effects of technology on young children and suggests limitations.

Tactile play outdoors seems to be lacking. Do any of you have children that use a metal detector? Metal detecting appeals to a child's imagination and sense of adventure. Plus, the child gets to play outdoors, exercise, and spend time with his/her guardian.

If you're in the market for a great holiday detector for your child, our Compadre and Silver µMax are machines that are easy enough to use for children, yet effective and durable enough to last into their adult years.

Experts are divided over whether smartphones and iPads are good for toddlers. Parents are split, too.

The weather is changing in Prescott, AZ! Winter is coming. For those of you who may be stuck inside, try this game. It's not quite hunting, but it's fun to pretend, right?

Click the British flag to play in English. You'll see a model that we make for the Czech Republic, the Euro Sabre II.

Happy Friday! Check out this cool article. Archaeologists and Detectorists are coming together to explore in Virginia. If any of you are in that area, it looks like a fun and rewarding venture! Happy Hunting this weekend!

An archaeological program at Montpelier brings metal detectorists and archaeologists together to find pieces of the past on the property.
