If it was waterproof and I could put a WOT coil on it, I think it would be darn near perfect.


It's light, easy to use, gets good depth, is able to use several different coils, battery seems to last forever.


Best of all, I found my avatar with it.

Are you going to study about the Cibola or the Silver Sabre?

Gambler, I have a Silver that is currently in "back up" status. Not because I don't like it but because I came in to the hobby with a detector that had VID 5 years ago and then 4 years ago I got the DFX which had both the VID and a multitude of tones so I guess you could say I spoiled myself away from a single tone machine with no VID.
I used the Silver last year for about 4 weeks while my DFX was in the shop and I found out why it has a cult like following. There is no weight to it at all, the discriminator is accurate as heck and it can really pick out stuff from the depths.
Really the only thing I didn't like about the Silver was pinpointing....again probably because I was used to having a "trigger". I don't know if there is a better lightweight machine in this price category made than the Silver Umax.

I won a Silver Umax at a private sponsored hunt here on Tnet. I found it to be a very good little machine, su0prisingly so. I really love the light weight and ease of operating. I am use to detectors with a screen, but with the Umax I seem to do pretty well without it. I also have an ACE 250 and I have a problem deciding which one to use! They are both backups to my "big" machine but I find myself using them more than as just backup machines. The Umax has great depth and very seldom falses. If contemplating buying one I'd say do it.

Yep

I've been looking for a small lightweight, compact machine that was hot in
wet salt water sand...
I have an old Stingray that can pick up fine chains and small ear-rings in wet salt sand but
but the weight and headphones I don't like it.
I asked Tesoro and they said there was an old machine that fit the discription
of what I wanted but it is not made anymore...
Does the Silver Umax have a lot of false signals in the wet salt sand, and how sensative is it to small gold items...
Not talking about rings, more about chains and ear-rings in the wet salt sand..
how is this for that ? I know it is lightweight and compact...

I stick to the dry sand, so I can't help with the wet salt sand. I use a Sov Gt w/WOT coil for the wet sand.
