Tesoro Golden uMax Finds My First Gold Ring :smile:

[tabman]

This is my first gold ring find ever and my first full day out with the Golden uMax. When I got home I checked to see what ID number my Gold Bug Pro was going to give to the ring. It came up a 54-55. That's in the foil range just below a nickel which comes in at 57-58. The tip I got about looking in the foil and nickel range for small gold rings using the Golden uMax paid off. You may lose some bigger gold rings notching out most of the pull tabs and all of the zinc pennies, but you'll still find some nice size gold.

The Golden also produced 27 quarters, 25 dimes, 12 nickels, and 14 copper pennies.

I found one zinc penny laying on top of the ground and a nice sharp shooter shovel laying on the side of the road.

What depth are you getting with the Golden uMAX? I am considering one myself.

What depth are you getting with the Golden uMAX? I am considering one myself.

This detector is new to me and I can't say with certainty. I know I dug some dimes at 4-5 inches with a strong signal. Even deeper on some coppers and quarters The best I can say is DEEP ENOUGH. I really like the notch feature! It notches out the those damn zinc pennies and enough pull tabs to make it worth your while to dig though the rest of the trash to find the gold.

I think my detector might be a little sick though and could do even better. The tone for nickels sounds like someone stuck a pencil up a goose's butt. I'm going to send it in and let the techs at Tesoro have a listen and see what they think.

I love my Tesoro detectors.

The one that I have is the older version with the two middle tones close together. Since I like using the notch feature, the two middle tones being close together don't come into play for me. I don't care to dig zinc pennies or hear its tone. You won't be disappointed with the Golden if your ground doesn't have too many minerals in it, since it doesn't have a ground balance.
