Does anyone have experience with the Euro Saber?

I have one.
It is a very nice detector, it has depth and separation, a great iron ID (blank or audio). It is lightweight and rough.
Only a complaint, it has a too fast autotune speed in all metal (it is VCO). I would like to change it to a very slow autotune, in order to pinpoint better.
I would like that someone explain how to do the change.

[size=medium]I used them with the 8x9 coil or one of the 7" coils, either the Tesoro 7" concentric or the thin-profile Super 7 Inch from a Shadow X2. Where I am located, in NW Oregon around Portland, the ground is rather high in mineralization which impacts the performance of most detectors, especially the 2-filter types. When hunting in the parks and private yards and such, where I was working lawns or dirt, the Euro Sabre got what I consider "'typical Tesoro depth." In short, it didn't match the depth of detection I got with the Explorer, XLT or 6000 Pro XL's. As a matter of fact, it was close, but still didn't quite meet the performance I got from a modified Classic III SL, either. I am referring here mainly to the attainable depth of detection in the Disc. mode while still using a reasonably low-level amount of discrimination.

The Euro Sabre has a Disc. mode performance somewhat similar to the Eldorado so far as depth goes, or for rejecting higher-conductive targets. But the Euro Sabre has a strong point for hunting low-to-moderate ground conditions where there might be some annoying iron trash. In such sites I still often hunt in an All Metal mode, but the Euro Sabre gave me the option of hunting in a silent-search all metal accept mode (true ED-180) like the Eldorado (

For an easy search I use it with the sensitivity at 10, disc on foil and iron id on blank. I cover a lot of ground in a little time, when I have a good repeatable signal I switch to audio ID to listen if it is iron.
I usually get no more than 8 inches depth on medium sized coins, but I even found littlest ones. I think that in low mineralization soil ore in the dry sand it could do the job very well (12 inches on a 2,5 cm copper coin). I think it has got a great disc and I think it is better than Vaquero beacause it has got the iron Id facility. I notice that it has better performances in disc rather than in all metal.
