Popular and best selling detector
glenn in tennessee usa -Rafael the detector man at shiloh relics in tennessee says this is one of his very best selling machines. It performs very well for finding silver coins,gold and silver rings indianheads and wheat pennies. For 250 dollars it packs apowerful punch.

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.

Perfect machine
timmy in southwest tn usa -The silver umax does a fine job on coin and jewelry and relic hunting. Does terrific in competition hunts. I would like to see a frequency shift switch added to this machine in case you run into another detectorist that has the same frequency that you do or the same model of machine. All in all this machine is a wonderful gadget.

Dandy detector
glynn in tennessee; usa -I took the silver umax to the fairgrounds this week after the fair. Spent four hours digging lots of coins.I can't believe all the coins that people drop and not know it. This turn on and go detector does a fine job. All you do is set the discriminate and sensitivity and start swinging.light weight for hours of fatique free joy.

Even Better Than The Tejon
MB in USA -I'm a Tejon lover and often refer to it as the near perfect coin/ring/relic detector.
However, recently I tested two old Silver Sabre detectors (I&II) and one new model Silver uMax machine. I was blown away by the depth and smoothness of these detectors! I had always thought of them as toys.
I'm finding targets just as deep or deeper than I found with the Tejon.
The Silver is much smoother than the Tejon and you don't get all those clicks, pops, chirps, etc., like you do with the Tejon set on maximum sensitivity. The Silver sounds off with a nice clear mellow signal if the target is worth digging. Not a lot of background noise like is often true of the Tejon.
In our part of northern Michigan we have plenty of hot rocks and loads of iron trash. The Silver is excellent at target separation with depth I'd class with that of the Tejon or better. That Silver uMax stock coil is perfect for hunting heavily trashed sites. It works like a rifle shooting between the trash to hit hard on rings and coins.
Silver uMax expected coin depth with stock 8 inch coil would be 5 1/2 to 8 inches (depending on soil and coin size).
Expected coin/ring depth with 12x10 concentric web coil would be 8-12 inches deep. With this coil I'd say it beats the Tejon by inches even in higher mineralized soils.
That's not bad for a $239 detector!
