A TURN ON AND GO MACHINE QUESTION???

[RELIC_HUNTER]

I want to purchase a turn on and go machine for a friend.I am looking at the 1236xs and the silver Umax...Any input please.

 

[Ron from Michigan]

I have owned and used both the 1236x will cost you more, but better depth, can be hip mounted.

I like the tesoro compadre.Great toy for under 175

Both your options are good machines.

Silver uMax will come with lifetime warranty.

I prefer Tesoro.

The Ace 250 packs a lot of punch for $212.00
It is considered a turn on and hunt machine.

Troy X5 is about as good as it gets light at 2.5 pounds 1 nine volt battery great pinpointing 19.3 kHz so can sweep quick and doesn't miss much. Dan

The silver uMax would be the easiest to learn, but I hope you have good ground to hunt, since its a fixed ground balance machine. I learned on a Cibola, which is very similiar to the uMax machine you're talking about, but the ground here is a little hot and it reduced the effective depth of the fixed ground balanced Cibola by about 1-2 inches. If he can afford it the Vaquero would be a much better choice, since you can adjust the ground balance on it. Also, you could check out the used machines and probably get a Vaquero or Eldorado for the same price used as the Silver uMax would go for new.

Might take a good look at the Xterra 30..Pretty effective turn on and go detector.

 

[Elton]

But the troy sure likes Iron.

The better to deal with it my friend.

You got to see it to see past it.

The MXT is a great turn on and go machine if you have the extra money it's worth the investment. Pump a few times and go!!
