Have they combined the Outlaw with the Golden umax?

]I went to my local Tesoro dealer yesterday ready to pick up the compadre and unfortunately all he had was the VAC. He then showed me a catalog that had a brochure of the Outlaw. Interesting thing is....it was called the Outlaw golden umax and had 4 tones like the older golden umax. Was he showing me an old catalog? The picture of the outlaw looks like the current model and it even had a choice of one or three coils but everything i read online says the outlaw has only one tone. I'm confused!

I think it may be an old misprint... Golden hasn't been available for a while, so it's either an old misprint or a new, unannounced model. Would like to see it though.. ^_^

Ok, i went back and took another look at the catalogue. I admit it...i am an idiot! looks like the outlaw and Golden umax were separate advertisements and some how or another i remembered them as one. Anyhow, here is a picture of what i saw.

A Golden micromax with the Outlaw's depth, GB, and disc circuit would be the best detector they could ever make, IMHO.

I agree...that's why i was so excited and then disappointed when i realized i read the advertisement wrong.

If the new release is really a cross between the Outlaw and the Golden to say what the Cortes is already, but with the exception of adding the Threshold Based to the No Motion All Metal of the Outlaw, and the Retune button from the Golden uMax's Fast Auto Tune, as the Cortes and Golden have both - No Motion all Metal & Notch Narrow/Wide capabilities already. Then I hope that is what the Cazador will be.

Lets have all three in one.

Only difference that I can see is the Cortes has the SUM. And the Outlaw as a Threshold based No Motion all Metal Mode.

Cortes has 9 different audio tones, the Outlaw as single tone, and Goden Micromax 3-4 tone audio ranges if notch width is set correctly. And how many tones does an detectorist really need from what he/she already previously owns from experience. How many tones would you think be a good choice if Tesoro decided on their new model if these three were combined.

If anyone has all three of these detectors I would love to see a comparison video test bed on what these three can do. Depth, seperation, recovery, and identification and differences of signal noise.
