Tesoro Silver U-Max
Glenn in WI , USA -I have had a lot of detectors in my day starting with the tek 8500,Mark 1 ,3 ,1280 x fisher to name a few..When I got the silver Umax my arms felt like they were in heaven do to the light weight of this machine..what I can't believe is how it snips out the smallest of jewelry mostly silver..One thing I need to get for it is a smaller coil so I can get closer to the metal poles in the tot lots..The other thing that would be nice to have is a inline probe maybe in time someone will come up with one for this machine ..all I have to say it's one fine machine for the price

Simple in performance
shelia in tennessee usa -I like the words around the discrimate knob the added max boost feature on the sensitivity knob. I also like the toggle switch which has three positions battery check..discriminate..all metal. Simplicity at its best and turn on and go.

Silver umax
bomar in tennessee usa -I like these good reviews on the silver umax. I have used mine for three years now and have made some very good finds myself. I have found numerous silver coins and lots of wheat pennies. Great detector for the price great discrimination and sensitivity.

Tesoro Silver Sabre U-Max,with pinpoint button .
Daniel in Rochester, Minnesota -I bought this Tesoro Silver Sabre U-Max metal detector,with pinpoint button back in September of 2001. This Tesoro Silver Sabre U-max hasn't let me down! It's found a 1877 Seated liberty dime,1892 Barber dime,1916 Barber dime, 4 silver Mercury dimes (1930's - 1944.), 1946,1955,1956,1957 silver Roosevelt dimes, 1907 Indianhead penny, 1840 Novia Scotia large penny, a skeleton key (silver) 10 inches in length,one women's 24 K gold wedding ring with diamonds,14 K gold cross, 75 wheat cents (1913-1958), 1867 English Schilling (penny),numerous silver rings,necklaces,silver heart locket, etc. To the people that say that this Tesoro metal detector can't find gold...you are wrong! This Tesoro Silver Sabre U-max detector loves rings & old coins! One week ago this Tesoro sniffed out 15 quarters in one hole under a oak tree! The pinpoint button on this Tesoro is awesome! My friend has a Garett treasure Ace 250, and he can't pinpoint at all with his detector,50% of the time,he asks me to take my Tesoro over to his divot,and use my pinpoint button on my Tesoro,to find his coins! This detector rules!! Also a heads up on this Tesoro,if you put the sensitivity setting at 10 or Max boost,you can go deep, but the detector tends to chatter a lot. I read in my tesoro directions (owner's manual)that if the detector chatters a lot at a high sensitivity setting (10 or max boost)lower the sensitivity setting to around "6 or 7",that way you'll get all the coins close to the surface,and this detector won't "chatter" a lot! Tesoro technicians have even verified this with me over the phone. When you lower the sensitivity settings to around "7 " you'll get a lot more coins! if you still want your Tesoro to go deeper,adjust the sensitivity setting back to "9 or 10",and switch back to around "7" to get coins closer to the surface (shallow targets)! I hope this helps people out a lot!

Super coin sniffer
bo in near pickwick dam, tennessee -Dear folks I've noticed some good reviews on this little machine. I noticed one reviewer gave it three stars as it would not pick up a gold ring. I need to point out this machine is a motion discriminator which means you have to keep the coil moving to detect a coin or ring. When detecting use a slow sweep speed and then slow down some more. This works for me. Take time to know and learn your machine. My silver hasn't let me down yet. Its the only machine I need.

Tesoro silver umax
tim in hardin county; tn usa -If you are entering the hobby of metal detecting this is a terrific beginner model. it is moderately priced and can take on the big boys. i think anyone would appreciate its ease of use. the only thing i would change about it is the detector stand. it could be bigger.
