"Return of the King"

Without going into details, I was given this detector today. In my opinion probably one of the best machines ever made, the classic "Silver Sabre Plus". Like a fool, I sold my last one about 1990. This one is in mint condition, it's only been used about 6 times, even the scuff cover is mint. Can't wait to get out with it, this machine eats hammered coins !.

Looks like a good machine i read this about it that sounds good Dd60

Why would I choose to use a 20 year old metal detector, when I have the choice of every machine on the market ?

Here is a simple test everyone should try
Place a 3" nail 10 inches away from a 20p coin, set your machine to totally reject the nail then pass your machine over both targets in one sweep. I hope your machine will detect the coin at this distance, now move the coin and nail slightly closer together and try again, then closer and closer.
The Tesoro Silver Sabre can detect a coin virtually on top of the nail, can your top of the range machine do this in discrimination mode. The iron see through or recovery speed is fantastic on this machine, thats why it is a winner when searching a Roman site.
I have found the Silver Sabre air tests can match the same depth in soil, where as some machines can loose up to 50% performance in soil compared to air tests.
The Sabre is very efficient and honest, it only bleeps when there's something there, you wont be troubled with ground noise or small Iron, it just will not exist.

It sounds just like the Minelab Sov.GT

Could not have put it better myself, in England before this machine came on the scene, the Arado 120B was king. The silver sabre plus, retired the Arado over night !.
