No it's not discontinued. Some have speculated that it would be since the release of the Mojave.
But no matter if it is or not you can always send it into Tesoro for repair if needed. Just ship to them with $50. Usually covers normal repairs needed and shipping back.
They continue to repair all their detectors they've ever made. So no worries.

It takes any 5 pin (epsilon) coils. But being present GB the best performance will come with the stock coil because the machine is set to that coil. Many use other coils on it fine. But preset turn on and go machines work best with the coil it's set for.
Plus that donut coil is great anyway!!! If you wanted you can run a 5.75 smaller coil if needed in trashy areas.

...also how do you guys type in the U for the umax on here? to me it looks like a small L with an upside down small R next to it..i wouldnt want to upset anyone..typing it wrong......also what level is the silver ? beginner advanced beginner .. im not looking to upgrd any time soon as the ratings on this is unreal..

The Silver is an older detector that's still very capable. They can be considered a beginner/advanced beginner unit based on their initial price, but they'll work just as well for anyone, from beginner to expert level.

The character "μ" stands for "micro".
You can write out "microMAX" if you want, uMAX or μMAX.. We know that you mean a Tesoro with the small size housing..:icon_sunny:
I type μ by copy and paste, but there's a key combo that should do it, too.

Never underestimate the Tesoro Silver. My friend's only detector is a Silver. He's had for many years. One day he showed me some of his finds. Jawdropping. Silver dollars and all kinds of other outstanding coins. He said he detected a dime at 9 inches once which is really good.

Go to Tesoro's website. Click on Where to Buy.

Click on Maine. It comes up and says nobody in Maine. If you're interested, contact us!

Tesoro sets the lowest price you're allowed to sell each model at. That's about it I believe. Others here will let know more....
