Golden uMAX vs. Silver Sabre uMAX Depth & Separation

[Berryman]

For those of you who own or have owned both, which machine outperforms the other when it comes to depth and separation capability - or are both equal performers?

Note that I'm not talking about the current Silver uMAX But the older Silver Sabre uMAX.

The Silver Sabre uMAX is one detector that I've never owned or used. I've always wanted to give one a try, because I've heard so many good things about them.

Do you have one?

Yes: I just picked up a Silver Sabre and had it refreshed by Tesoro. I've only used it once so far, not enough to know how it stacks up against the Golden.

Never used the Golden, but I like the SSumax so well that I've had 3 of them and currently still own 2 (one is my wife's).

I have a Silver Sabre and really like it but have never used the Golden. I've had a few people make me an offer for it but I just can't let it go.

What I like best about the golden are the 4 tones. Question: Which of the other Tensor's are multi tone?

I own and use the Golden micro max. It has the older tone configuration that follows the conductivity range. Some people complain that the two middle tones are too close, but I think with use, this issue goes away. On the Golden, you can use the notch width nob to shift the two middle tones up or down on the conductivity scale. It's a pretty nice feature.

To answer your question, I believe Tesoro makes or made only three other machines with multi tones. The older Pantera has a nice two tone feature with tone break, meaning you can adjust where the two tone change occurs. Good luck finding one of these! The Euro Sabre has an Iron audio feature that sounds off with a lower tone on iron. Tesoro still makes these, but only for the European market (no fair!). Then there is the Cortes that has eight tones when you hold the SUM mode toggle switch in place.

This is my understanding of these machines, someone please correct me if I am wrong or left a machine out.
