..Out in the same area where I dug the 14K ring yesterday, and up beeped this old dragon from 6" down.
It's 925 with a "PSCL" or "RSCL" marking.

I owned a Bandido uMax a while ago, that is one detector that you never see come up for sale. I have been looking...

They do come up...

Seems they come up in spurts.. You won't see any for a while, then three or four will show up for sale around the same time. I'm still wanting to pick up a nice pre-μmax Bandido II. That's the one I don't see for sale. Good machines, the Bandidos. Of all the Tesoros I've used, I find myself grabbing the Bandido II μmax most often. Hard to go wrong with any Tesoro though.

Gorgeous ring find, like the artistic value put into that ring. I don't think it is ugly at all!!

I'll be doing my first ever beach detecting week after next, at Cherry Grove Beach, SC. Can't wait to test the DeLeon in wet and dry sand. Also my Gamma 6000.

Just missed bandido uMax on eBay last week. Buy it now $160 I think. Don't think it lasted 15 minutes.
Had the itch to buy an older one to try, and ended up getting a golden sabre II. Should get it this week.
Will be interesting to try out the 2 tone and notch.

I was looking at that same Golden Sabre II.. and thinking about it.. My next Tesoro needs to be a Sand Shark though.

Congratulations! Let us know what you think of that GSII.
