Good night my friends!
Yes, Alonso still has a percentage in the sales of the long distance detectors manufactured by Mineoro. He had some disagreements with one of the sons of Dam?sio who took over Mineoro, and ended up not coming here at the factory in Garopaba anymore, failing to do the upgrades and repairs on the detectors, and who does this service is the son of Dam?sio's second wife, only the repairs he does, the updates are not done on the detectors for two or three years. Mineoro is also closing the factory here in the city of Taquara, where Dam?sio is a natural and where Mineoro's factory started. Even the two-box detectors and the Dch-85 were made in Taquara city, and the manufacture of these detectors will also be stopped, they will no longer produce, what we still have is a small stock of ready detectors.
I say this because I spent the afternoon with whoever made these detectors, he is my friend, and he has worked at Mineoro for over 35 years.
Mineoro in Taquara is 50 km from my house, and I talked a lot with my friends there today.
A pity because the Mineoro complex in the city of Taquara has tools and machinery to make all these detectors that have become classics in this factory, coil winding machines, iron sheet bending machines, woodworking machines, in short, everything will be practically discarded and thrown in some container as scrap ...
Today I saw many detectors that customers left many years ago for repair and never came back for, and are there, one on top of the others thrown in a room.
I was very sad to see all that.
Mineoro was part of my life, since I was a teenager I had detectors of them, it was with Mineoro detectors that I started to do my treasure hunts, and with them I found many things of farmers and Jesuits throughout all states of Brazil, Paraguay, Uruguay and Argentina.
It was with my findings that I did with Mineoro's detectors, when I started over 45 years ago, that I became known to Garrett, Whites and other factories, so I can't speak ill because with these detectors I built my name and acquired respect in this area of ​​treasure hunts.
The detectors are ugly, unfinished, grotesque, but they work perfectly, I have nothing to complain about, I don't prioritize finishing or beauty, but results, and that's what I had with them.
Today I see a company that has fallen, by Dam?sio's own children, who out of greed did not know how to manage and follow up, nor value the name of the company that old Dam?sio both preserved and maintained.
I met Dam?sio when he was still working in the city of Taquara, I was 14 years old, and that was when I acquired my first Mineoro detector, and he was my friend until his death. Bad or not, think what you want, I have nothing to complain about, a year after buying my first two boxes, I found with him my first Jesuit treasure, it was a 692B two boxes. Sorry for my outburst, but I'm really sad about the news I received today, just as I was sad about the news from the Whites Electronic factory in Oregon, I met great people inside and who are my dear friends today.
