Golden Umax or Deleon

[Dale Simmons]

I am looking for a used Tesoro. This will be my first Tesoro. I have narrowed it down to the Golden Umax or Deleon. I am leaning towards the Deleon at this time. I was wondering if someone has used them both, and their thoughts about the two machines. I live in Florida, no real problem with soil. I will only be searching for coin and jewelry mainly at parks and schools. Someone sent me an email about a Golden for $275 in excellent condition. They sent me pictures of the detector. Up to this point no one has sent me offeres of used Deleon's for sale. Maybe that speaks for itself. Thanks.

I couldn't decide so I got both. I now have a Tesoro Deleon, Golden uMax, and a Silver uMax on it's way. The Golden is my favorite detector at this time. I also own a White's M6 that I received in a trade a couple of weeks ago. I haven't used the M6 yet. I keep grabbing the Golden for a short hunt.

Since you've already made your choice this is rather pointless.

I did want to say though that I really like deleon with it's extra bit of information. For example; if it says zinc, you can be quite certain it will be a penny, zinc penny. I'm confident enough in this machine that I often don't dig these anymore.
