Sidewinder uMax

[mncricket]

Is $175 a decent price for a closet queen sidewinder umax? How do they compare to the silver sabre umax?

I'd say for a closet queen sidewinder u-max it's a better than fair deal
but feel the Silver Sabre U-max gets better depth.Owned both and
the Silver Sabre U-max stays in my arsenal along with my Eldo. U-max
which I'll never let go as it's just a fun machine in the tot lots. My Eldo. has
made some great finds for me but not my go to machine. JMHO...
That Sidewinder in the Iron ain't a bad machine with a small coil in high
trash situations but just not a deep seeker.

I did just the opposite and sold the Silver Sabre Umax and the bandito ll Umax and kept the Sidewinder Umax. I may just have a hot one but I can and have dug up silver coins at 10 to 11 inches deep. I run many detector from my Sovereign Gt to my F-75 but the Tesoro Sidewinder will be the last one I sell out of the lot. It's not shabby on small gold as well. Great all around detector.
