Cibola or silver umax?

The cibola is deeper, but the silver is awesome on coins and no slouch either on depth. If you want a good relic machine as well, go with the cibola. You can't go wrong with any Tesoro

try it one in each arm, redneck version of dual frequency LOL!
I count a Silver uMax in my arsenal of detectors. It is a most excellent machine for coin and jewelry hunting in parks, playgrounds, athletic fields and yards. Given its simplicity it gets scary depth on old deep coins and can perform with machines costing 4X or more in price. While it is a one tone machine that tone gets quite expressive once you've logged some hours with it.
For pure D relic hunting, however, I prefer it's big brother the Vaquero.
Nothing fills my treasure pouch like my Tesoros.
Like Tug McGraw used to say, "You've got to believe!"

Well. Just got in from a good weekend at ocean city Beach MD.
I took my Cibola. and well. didnt do to bad. Considering The fact and as God Is my witness, I was hitting pennys at around 9 to 10 inches in the wet sand. and quarters at every bit 12 to 15inches in the wet salt sand.
Granted I couldnt manage to get to the water line without a great deal of false chatter but the cibola performed very well. I managed to land 13$ in coinage with it. and before I say that was the good part. The best part and the straw that broke the camels back. Or should I say the MINELAB SOVEREIGN S BACK was the Guy was walking ahead of me and I was about 50 yards behind him. and nailing targets his high dollar Minelab wasn't.
i ran my Cibola. at 8 sensitivity. and ran my disc. under iron. and my threshold was about 3/4's up and I left my toggle frequency at 14.5 center. unbelievable deep performance.
My choice is Tesoro from now on.

My F5 was freaking our all day today. So frustrating. I can't wait to get another Silver Umax
I used to have a Silver uMax. Then I sold it. And now I have another one. I have an EuroSabre II, which is great, but its three tone audio makes me dig less. I am finding out that I prefer "beep and dig" style with low discrimination. On my favourite beach I scanned many times (and I think no one else has ever been there with a detector) the Silver managed to find some more older coins and a very very tiny silver ring. Even with the discrimination at minimum or half way between iron and minimum, I dug only one rusty nail (and a few very rusty bottlecaps).
In my opinion, the Cibola is a little too expensive for what it is - I am aiming for a Vaquero or even Tejon. Manual ground balance makes a great difference in the places where I hunt. So ideally, I would like to have a Silver uMax as my "always in the car" machine and one of the above mentioned for "advanced" hunting.
