Waiting on Golden Umax

[Fletch88]

The tech told me they were having trouble sourcing certain electronic components to meet their specs.

I wanted to get my old tones changed to the new ones on my golden, was told to check back in a month (called yesterday) believe the same goes for the release of the new goldens, keep checking.

I was hoping for a 2.5 or 3.0

Or a 5.7 ....oops, wrong machine.

I saw on Tesoro's website under the golden Umax that they're coming out with a 2.0. I might even get one of these after I get the Tiger Shark & Tejon around Christmas.
Did you get the upgrade on your's already? Just saw under your machines the 2.0.


The Golden µMax is getting a new and improved tone change, starting with serial number: 190900. The manual will have "Rev 2.0" on the front. All Golden µMax detectors that are currently being shipped have this change.
Some Customers had difficulties separating the tones, so we separated them further. By changing the pitches, we have made it easier to identify all 4 tones clearly, making it easier to identify targets.
The order of the has also changed...with lower tones to identify potential trash, and higher tones reflecting valuable targets like silver and nickels. See the chart below.

New Tones, Conductivity Range
Ferrous/Iron/Foil	Low
Nickel	Medium High
Pull Tab/Zinc Penny	Medium Low
Silver	High

Old Tones, Conductivity Range
Ferrous/Iron/Foil	Low
Nickel	Medium Low
Pull Tab/Zinc Penny	Medium High
Silver	High

The notch-width control must be adjusted while air testing a nickel with the discriminate control turned completely down to "min". With the notch switch in eitherwide or narrow position, adjust the notch-width to obtain a good target sound on nickel. This will give you four target tones. If the notch-width is NOT set correctly, you will only hear three tones. This is the correct way to setup a Golden µMax, regardless of whether it has the new or the older version.
If you have a NEW (still in the box) Golden µMax detector, you can have the tones changed for $25.00. If your detector is USED, the tone change will cost $50.00.

I hope the new Golden will have manual ground balance, that's the only upgrade i want.

Would that configuration equal a Cortes minus VDI?

I would like a trigger all metal mode switch like the Tejon, and the disc moved left where the mode switch was.
