New Tone Golden?

I was wondering is the new tone Golden a little hotter than earlier models? I have heard some say yes some say no. Also even though I know it is not a depth demon ,I was wondering how far it will air test a silver dime with the proper high tone? And a silver quarter as I have seen some results ,But they don't say if it had the high tone at that depth?And lastly does it have good modulated audio where the deeper coins sound softer to help gauge depth on a coin? Thanks.
 
I have the new tone from what I heard Tesoro tweaked it to add more depth, the GU is a good shooter it loves the nickels, it has great tones and Tesoro started making the CSC coil again to add to the mix, depth is marginal but I never felt like it was under powered at all, HH hank
 
I had the old Golden and the new one. I hated the new tones and loved the old ones. This maybe just personal preference but I did not like nickles hitting with a high tone. I liked the natural progression. It just seemed out of wack having a Nickle hit high and a tab hit low.
 
I just got my Golden last week and its a great detector. I have no reference to the old tone set-up so for me its great. On my GUM a dime maxes out at 7" with sense at 10 thresh hold at 3 o'clock, notch wide, narrow or off. A nickel 8" same settings. They call this Golden for a very good reason. Man, when that nickel/gold tone sounds off, it gets me thinking, this could be a ring! Great for soccer fields, parks, areas around baseball / football fields, yards, any recreational area to be honest.
 
I got the old tones specifically because it's progressive. Most of the time it didn't matter because I used high discrimination leaving only two, but you get better depth and more chance of finding gold if you turn the discrimination down. The new tones would confuse me too much when I do this I think.

Exactly how I used my Golden set the Notch and set discrimination low. I then listened to the tones to decide to dig. New Tones totally confused me.
 
How come one guy says 7'' and one 9'' on an air test? Is there that much difference in machines ?
 
I don't think it is that much difference in Machines just the way they are set. I can literally dial depth on my Cortez by decreasing discrimination. Maybe that is why my Golden was a little deeper than normal in that I used very low discrimination.

Don't forget the Golden needs the threshold turned up to get more depth. If your threshold is turned all the way down, you will get about 4" on a quarter in Disc Mode. Turn up the thresh. It will increase alot.

May be a couple things, disc mode or all metal, thresh hold setting, sens setting. At any rate, it's more then deep enough for most, if not all, recreational areas. And man it's hot in the gold range!
 
Correct. I run mine with 0 discrimination and the Threshold turned up close to the 4 o:clock position. I can't help you with depth numbers though as I only run the Cleansweep coil on mine and you don't want to hear those. :biggrin:

You won't get an answer, because that user got deleted (thankfully).

Deeper on silver than anything? Really? You don't mean to include minelabs and f75 and cz' s in that,right?

Not to take sides but I believe he was saying the Golden found Silver deeper than any other metal or this is how I took it. Of course most other Detectors act the same way. I know my Cortez does. My Cortez is really shallow on Nickels especially if discrimination is turned up. I have to decide how deep I want to check for Nickels then set my discrimination accordingly. Another quirk in my Cortez is that I have trouble pin pointing Quarters. My machine does not overload on them but I have to be real carefull or I will be a couple inches off when finding Quarters. This is especially true if they are on end. Once I got my Garrett Pin pointer I soon discovered just how many coins were on end and it was more that I thought.
