    Mohave vs. Silver Sabre uMAX

    I've got both and haven't seen a whole lot of difference between the two performance wise. I hunt primarily on dry sand beaches and both seem to perform well in that environment. Are there others of you out there who have experience with both? My question is whether to keep both or sell off...

    Golden + Cleansweep

    Anyone here ever run a cleansweep coil on a Golden? I'm wondering whether the tones operate with the cleansweep in the same way they do with the standard coil.

    Hit the Beach with the Golden

    Hit the beach this morning with the Golden uMAX. Found 34 clad and a metal car but no jewelry. The beach is heavily hunted. This is the first time I've had the Golden out in over a year. All 4 tones were well pronounced. Think I'll be using it on the beach more often. Hope to score some...

    Golden uMAX Tones Conductivity Range Info - Refresher

    I found this info on the web while trying to assemble a Golden tutorial for myself. At this point I don't know who the original author was, but it's useful information, so I thought I'd share for those of you who might be interested: New Tones, Conductivity Range Ferrous/Iron/Foil Low Nickel...

    How Many Golden uMAX Owners are Out There?

    Seems like Golden uMAX posts pop up periodically on this forum. The recent spate of posts got me wondering how many folks out there actually own one (either old or new tones). If you've got one, chime in. I've gad one of the new tone versions for about a year now.

    Warranty Concerns

    I'm the second owner of an R1 that's still under warranty. The coil bolt on my unit recently broke, so I contacted MetalDetectors.com to see if I could get it replaced under warranty. I was told that I would have to pay for the new bolt, both because I didn't buy my Racer from them and because...

    Is Searching For Gold Cost Effective?

    I realize this forum is all about prospecting for gold, but in the long run, I suspect that prospecting for it is probably less cost effective than simply buying it - - - You can currently buy a 2.5 gram gold nugget on eBay for about $140; and because of their relative rarity, I suspect the...

    Silver Sabre uMAX Threshold Setting

    Can anyone explain the purpose of the threshold setting on the Silver Sabre uMAX? Normally, the threshold setting is only found on machines with a conventional all metal hunting mode. However, the Silver Sabre uMAX is only in the all metal mode when the pin point button is depressed. As I...

    Monte: Racer vs Racer 2 vs Gold Racer

    Monte: It appears that, now that you have the Racer 2, you no longer have the original Racer in your arsenal. But are there any circumstances/situations where the Original Racer has a use/advantage over the Racer 2? I also see that you appear to be hanging on to Gold Racer. How much overlap...

    Why Are There So Many F75 LTD's For Sale?

    The F75 is supposed to be FT's flagship detector - one of the best balanced and deepest detectors available. Care to speculate why there are so many of them for sale on the various sales forums and why they're selling at such deep discounts? Is it because they're too hard to operate? Is it...

    Omega 8500 Testor Feedback

    Anyone other than Tom or Keith testing the 8500 yet? I'm hoping for some glowing reports, but can't say that what I've read about it so far is all that exciting. Are those of us who are enjoying our V5 or V6 Omega 8000's chasing a pipe dream if we're thinking that the 8500 is going to be a...
