Great detector
thomas in tennessee usa -Just starting to make some good finds with this detector. I have already found a showbiz pizza token, a sears token celebrating 100 years and a couple of old cereal box toys. I think I have found a terrific hobby as well a great adventure.

My Favorite........
Richard in Southern Virginia. -I have made posts about other machines, but I'd have to say that the Silver uMax is my favorite. This could be due to the fact that I was able to hunt out a virgin Cavalry encampment with mine, while my Explorer was being worked on(that's why I bought the Silver). I was so impressed with the Silver, that I bought a Cibola. My Silver is favored over the Cibola, and I think it works better in trashy areas. Yes, I know it's "cheaper", but I like it better.

Silver Umax - A wolf in sheeps clothing
Doug in Down South, NC -I have been using my Silver Umax as my main (and only) machine for over a year now. I hunt old house properties, farms, tot lots, and ball fields with it. I can not say enough about this fantastic detector. Some of my finds include gold and silver jewelry, both old and modern coins, many CW relics, old toys, and just recently a piece of Spanish silver (8 reale).
This machine LOVES finding old relics!
Don't let this low priced detector, without all the fancy bells & whistles fool you. I have hunted with guys using the big $ machines (Minelab SE , White's DFX) and I not only find as good of finds as them, but many times even BETTER! They are truly amazed.
The Silver Umax is very lightweight and you can swing it all day long without fatigue. It is a very easy to learn, turn on and go machine. It has a very quick learning curve, and you will quickly be able to tell the good signals from the junk. Although the stock coil works great, I upgraded my coil to a 9 x 8 concentric coil to get even more depth. I consistantly dig targets down in the 10" deep range (soft soil).
I bought my machine used for only $150 and have had NO PROBLEMS at all with it. You can pick a new one up on E-bay for about $240. This machine is so underrated it isn't funny, AND the Tesoro's come with a lifetime warranty too.
Happy hunting.

This detector finds the silver
timothy in savannah, tennessee -I have had my silver umax for several years and enjoy searching around old barns and storage sheds in my neighborhood with permission from the owners of course. Finding lots of silver and clad coins, its exciting. Recently while searching my own yard I found a monogrammed silver ring about 8 inches deep. It had been in the ground for 35 years. the girl who lost it was 15 years old at the time she lost it. Her and her brothers used to play ball with me and my brothers when we were kids back in the early 1970s. I am sure she will be happy to get it back when she hears that I found it after 35 years. The silver umax is a fine detector. Thanks tesoro for a great American made product.

A great little machine!!!
William Leverett in Colorado Springs, CO USA -I just got this detector today. I was really surprised at how tiny and compact it was. This detector is really light and SO easy to; they are as good as it gets. It has good depth as I was getting coins down to about 4 inches with good signal strength and I am sure it goes deeper, there were probably just no coins deeper than that. The tone response of the detector is awesome and I whole-heartedly love this machine.
This detector is a great buy for the money and well worth your hard-earned dollars. Five stars for sure.

THE BEST DETECTOR FOR THE PRICE!!
wjm in ohio -This is a wonderful machine! A lot deeper than expected. Runs very quiet and discriminates very good. Get this,5.75 coil and the 9x8 coil and it will be all you need for most hunting. This is the only machine I will be using for a while. Thanks Tesoro!!

Enhance the performance of this wonderful machine
tj in tennessee usa -If you love this super little coin grabber.enhance its performance with the 9x8 and 10x12 coils. They cover more ground and go extra deep. You wont have to buy a more expensive machine, it is comparable to the tejon and cibola.
Especially if you are on a budget.
