let us know how you like the performance tab
.Howdy Todd
That little Bandido maybe small, but it is Big on performance, to get the optimum from it, it needs to be properly ground ballanced. It's no big deal to ground ballance, just find a clean piece of ground, free from metal objects to do your GB procedure. Have fun with it...........Hombre

Great choice for a newbie. One of my favorites. My first detector was a Silver Sabre II and I've tried most all Tesoro's since then. The Bandido uMax is hot and all you have to do is dig. Try lots of different metals at home: nickles, foil, tabs, dimes, gold rings, etc. so you get an idea where they fall on the DISC scale.
Then make a small mark with nail polish or a bit of red paint at the point where nickels and screwcaps break up on the dial - should be around 4 and 7. Now you have a DISC range detector. Not really true TID, it can help you ID targets pretty accurately. When I had mine, I could tell square tabs from beavertails from the DISC and audio.
Good luck.
