The Amazing Tesoro Silver uMax Works Its Magic:usaflag:

I started not to go this morning, because I was sore from the last couple of hunts. I got to my hunting spot around 7:00 o'clock and stayed to 9:40. I had the discrimination pointer set to just below 'iron' on the dial. Right off the bat the Silver was hitting usually hard and cleanly on small pieces of can slaw without it's usual cracking and popping to warn me that it's can slaw trash under the coil. It was not until I dug a rusty nail that I realized that I had the switch in the 'all metal' position and not in the discrimination mode position. The Silver's audio will crackle and pop on a nail at its minimum discrimination setting in the discrimination mode, since it has a ED-120 discrimination. I really like the 'all metal' mode on the Silver, because it's not a true threshold based all metal mode and it sounds exactly like the discrimination mode. I never did like to hunt with a threshold based all metal setting.

For those of you who have not used the Tesoro Silver uMax, you're missing out big time. This detector is truely amazing.:thumbup:

I dug around 60 targets including some 92.5 silver in an area I that was approximately 30 and 100 feet. I've been over this area before several times using other detectors. This time I slowed down and used very little discrimination, because I was looking for gold jewelry. Here's what I found.

That eyeball thing kinda freaks me out. Nice haul :)
 
Good hunt. Nice little ring too. Really pays to slow down. But I gotta agree with Bucksport,... that eyeball is freaky!

Not half as freaky as it was to me when I flipped over the plug and it was looking right at me. At first I didn't know what kind of bad thing I might have dug up.:yikes:

The eye is a ring.

The silver hits silver, congrats, we'll it shouldn't be hard to find the person with the missing eyeball ! Lol!
 
Very nice finds, I've heard nothing but good about the Silver Umax. Looks like you've proved it true...
:)
 
I went back to the same location and worked another 30 x 150 area and came up short. Finding around 50 tabs, 1 quarter, 2 dimes, 5 zinc pennies, 5 nickels and some junk jewelry tells me this area has been cherry picked to death. Oh yeah, it was me doing some of the cherry picking.:)

Finding all those tabs, zinc pennies, nickels and so few clad coins also tells me that no one has hunted it for gold rings. I'll keep the discrimination low and keep digging.:)

It's just a matter of time before I find a gold ring, because I know if I put a coil over one the Silver we let me know its there.

Wow, really nice catch. Are you using a pin-pointer on your hunts and if so, may I ask which one?
