Golden and 7 inch widescan coil

[reddirtfisher]

I have always used the 9X10 spoked coil on the Golden uMax but today I did something different. I took the 7 inch widescan coil that I had on my Silver Sabre uMax and switched it to the Golden. After air tests I found out that the Silver Sabre now gets about 3 more inches while the Golden with the widescan stayed about the same. I thought you guys might find that interesting.

'reddirtfisher', While I do use a very few Double-D (aka Wide-Scan) coils it is only because I have no alternative. The Teknetics 5" DD is the only smaller coil they make for me to use on my Omega and G2, and the 5X10 DD is also the only other smaller coil for the G2. I wish they made a smaller Concentric coil as I have long preferred a Concentric coil over a Double-D for several reasons. One is that they pinpoint better/easier, a second reason is that the Concentric coil Discriminates better (especially when dealing with iron), and a third reason is that a Concentric coil gets slightly better depth in most environments than a similar-size Double-D coil.

Also, as for differences in performance between two models, even if they use the very same search coil, I found that to be a little common among many Tesoro models. I had three (3) Tej

Thanks for the comments Monte. My personal Tesoro dealer is no longer a dealer now. I called today to see if he had some replacement decals for the Silver Sabre. That's when he gave me the news. The decal on the left side ( as you look at the control panel) has completely come off. Anyone have on or two of these? I called the company too but they referred me back to a dealer. I live about 3 hours away from any big city which makes it tough when I can't get supplies by mail.
