Tesoro Silver UMax , Bounty Hunter Quick Draw 2
Went hunting over at my parents home this afternoon and had a great hunt. They live in a house built in 1919 and I have pouded the their small yard several times before with my old Bounty Hunter Quick Draw 2 & Bounty Hunter Elite 2200 . The Tesoro Silver UMax found a awesome 1942 Mercury Dime , 1928 & 1958 Wheaties , bunch of clad and a ring. Since I've bought my Tesoro I've yet to pick up the Bounty Hunter and hunt with it. I had to go to Harbour Freight Salvage and buy my dad some bits so he could sharpen some chain saw blades. I've read on the forum about the Cen Tech Hand Held Metal Detector . I went down the aisle and spotted that they had two in stock for $14.99 each. I had a coupon for $ 5 off on a $ 20 purchase so I went ahead and got two of them at a final cost of $ 12.50 each. I was able to use it while hunting today and was quite impressed with it ! If your looking for a low cost pin pointer this is the real deal !

Great finds! I also have the Umax Silver and the Cen Tech probe. I also have an Ace 250 and like my Tesoro much more than my Ace. I had a tiny-tec pointer ($80) before the cen tech and it bit the dust after about a month....the $15 cen tech...still chuggin and works great!
 
If we have any $ left after we buy Faroh's army Christmas presents this year, plus Little Ramapirate's list, plus whatever my wife wants, I might look at getting me a Tesoro. I tried a Cibola on a hunt two weeks ago and flat loved it! That's a great little detector. I have one of those pinpointers and I like it. It's sure easy to use. I bet you are enjoying your new toys!

Enclosed is a photo of the way I use the Cen Tech pinpointer. Before using I take the unit out at set the sensitivity . After getting it set I put it back in the belt holder. I keep my pinpointer in my tool bag in a seperate compartment. The button on the side to turn the unit on can be easily turned on with the cover in place. The cover cuts down on the sound a little and keeps the unit cleaner.
