My Latest Boring Video

[Michigan Badger]

Not much. I seem to never have my camera when I make the good finds.

I'm using the Tesoro Silver uMax fitted with the 12x10 concentric coil. This detector with this coil is one of the deepest I've ever used.

Fun vid... good job! How do you hold the camera? One handed or do you have it mounted?

Thanks,

I hold it one handed and dig with the other arm.

You're too kind...thanks!

Yes, boring. No silver!

The tesoro's do go deep. Yes, even deeper than the Minelab but at the expense of digging iron. Iron relics can be cool though. I bet I have passed up a lot of deep "good" coins that i.d.ed on the Explorer as iron.

So, are you keeping the umax? Will you use it regularly?

I gotta make a video....

Do me a favor...don't make a video. If you do nobody will watch my junk flicks.

I will keep one Tesoro Silver (the Silver Sabre II) with a 12x10 coil. But, I'm not too sure now this rig is deeper than the Sovereign with the 10" Tornado coil. I did this video before testing the GT. But it is faster and better for those quick hits.

Hey, make a video! I need some encouragement! 8)

I'm confused, weren't you using a Tejon before? What gave you the idea of using the Silver Umax with the 12"X10" coil? Looks like it was a real good idea for relic hunting, where you want to dig some of your iron targets anyway. I wonder if a 12"X10" on a Cibola would give some better depth (although I haven't checked to see if there is even one available).

I still like the Tejon and still think of it as the nearly perfect coin/relic machine. But I buy and try lots of machines just for fun (I bought 4 just the last few weeks).

I got the Silver mainly to test something I was told. That is, that the Silver uMax with a web coil 9x8 is deeper than the Tejon. I used the 12x10 inch coil for my testing.

Is the Silver deeper than the stock Tejon? I think it is but I didn't really do a true test. I'm just going by what I found at my hunt sites.

But I will say that that 12x10 uMax concentric coil is very very deep! It seems to add at least 3-5 inches coin depth to the Silver uMax.

I could be wrong but I think the Cibola uses the same type of coils that the Tejon uses. As of now Tesoro only makes a DD 12x10 coil for the Tejon. But I'll bet that coil would help the depth of the Cibola. That is, if it works on the Cibola.

Tesoros are great detectors and when it comes to a nice clear signal you really can't beat them.

All detectors have their strong and weaker points. Now days I like almost every detector I try. Really, they're all good. Some are maybe just a little better than others in certain situations.

Best to you,

Badger
