Diffrence between the silver umax and the cibola

[Gunnar of bradford MN]

just tried out the silver umax for the first time . the difrence bettween it and the Cibola is marked. its obveous to me that the silver is deeper in air test it gets 7.5" whith good signal thats great it blows my old M-6 away i love the all metal switch and that it is a silent seach all metal now one bad thing about the umax is the sensitivity can not bee turned down as much as the cibola for example if i wanted to hunt the first 2" of ground whith the cibola i could turn the sens down and itwould only get the 0 to 2" so i could clean up in layers this is a great ability when cleaning a trashy spot now on the other hand the sivler even at its lowest seting gets a sure 4.5 " deep whith no problenm but i cant turn it down any less i can deal whith it by getting the 4" coil which im shur will get less depth but i can see the silver umax even whith this 8" coil is a deep seeking machine im impressed whith its depth deeper than my M-6 and cibola ya i was getting a good signal on a penny at 7.5" in air test thats incredible my m- 6 could not get beond 6" and at that it was starting to falter so dont think of this silver as a toy it can keep up whith the best no wonder tabdogsaid thear was not much left after scaning the ground whith his silver it gets great depth im impressed it just cant go really shallow

gunner you didn't mention how deep the cibola got compared to the 7.5 inches on the silver.i have asked this question myself and one thing that still puzzles me is how can a detector with higher gain and newer technologhy not go as deep especially in an air test. i can see maybe in the ground with other factors involved. but if this is the case i am suprised they even sell any cibola's. why would someome want to spend the extra money for one that performs less. just doesn't add up. hopefully someone else who has done a side to side comparison can also help clarify this.

whith the cibola i got 6" in air test whith good signals and in the ground 6" was its max whear my m-6 quit the cibola did 1" better but the silver is better still i switched to the silver thinking it would be less depth no it has more but one great thing about the cibola is you can turn it way down to get the suface coins something the silver cant do at least whith the 8" coil if the cibola just had a all metal mode i would have kept it
