Golden Saber at the Fair Grounds 080412

[daddyflea]

Got out a couple hours this afternoon and went back to the Fair grounds. The Golden Saber worked great as usual. Take for the day 6 Quarters, 12 Dimes, 5 Nickels, 34 Pennies, 1 Ear Ring that was in two pieces, 2 Washers, and 2 unusual Bolts. This fair grounds is full of targets. I got about half of the actual part that has rides hunted and none of the Parking Lot. I am betting that when I get through, I can grid it in the opposite direction and pick up a bunch more.

Golden Sabers were made about 1985 so it is long in the tooth but this is a great detector and you are right it is similiar to the Golden Umax with a few added features. First of all it only has two tones. One Tone above the Notch and one tone below the Notch. Threshold is on the rear and the Notch can be set to Accept, or to Reject, and off. Notch is also adjustable. It is funny to me how well some of these old Detectors work. It is no depth Demon but it just don't miss much either. I sent my Cortez in to get a Tune up and this Golden Saber was in once a couple years ago. It came back out hunting most of my much higher priced detectors. In fact the reason I sent my Cortez back was the fact that this Detector hit Nickels much harder and deeper than my Cortez and it should not have. Here is a few pictures of the Golden Saber. My Son loves this Detector.

daddy flea,

....Old school rules with detectors like that, nice detector and coins you found. I have the Pantera which is pretty much the same detector with ground balance, both great two tone notch discriminators.

...I run mine with the notch reject/accept switch off and set the notch control to break tone on a zinc penny, pretty slick for finding copper penny and above higher conductor coins in aluminum trash. If in an area with a good chance at gold rings, I set the notch control to break tone on a beavertail pulltab. Good luck and good hunting.
