Diablo

What do you guys think a Diablo u-max is worth?

 

[Sven]

All depends upon how much trash your willing to dig. Not worth buying if you need or use descrimination, then other Tesoros will serve you better.
Prices are high because it has earned cult status.

Why, do you have one for sale or know of one for sale?

I would have to say no more than $325. I'd like to get my hands on one for prospecting.

If a good one was auctioned on EBay you would see a bidding war ! those of us who own one & have used it prospecting will never sell .

And they discontinued this model why? Because the came out with the biggerbox Lobo?
Surely they should have kept the Diablo as a dedicated prospecting machine, the compact size is perfect for backpacking like all other umax.
Wouldn't it be great if Tesoro would build a limited edition series....a different model for each of the next 5 years. Diablo could be the first.

I agree Sven , Tesoro could make a limited edition Diablo Umax again , I'd even buy an extra one
That extra ground balance knob for hot rocks can also cancel out certain problem mineralized ground noise .

The Diablo Umax was Tesoro's best ever gold detector

every time someone asks or says something about the Diablo umax. The responses are about the same. Tesoro should make it again, Tesoro should have never stopped making it, best gold detector ever, ect. I know that there are some tesoro people that haunt these forums. I would have to think that by now they would be thinking about remaking this detector. Or perhaps a new gold detector all together. Re-packaging the Lobo ST in gray was cool but just didnt cut it.
