Considering a Cibola

[BenG76]

I am leaning towards a Cibola but not quite sure yet. I have owned a Cibola before and regrettably I sold it. I mainly want a lightweight detector for tot lots, parks and a huge flea market ground we hunt a lot. Also for a competition hunt as well. I have also considered the Silver uMax but I figure the Cibola will be more suited for me. I dont feel the need to get a Vaquero with the ground balance as I use my MXT when hunting older sites.

Currently I own a Whites MXT, Tesoro Compadre, Fisher F2 and a Whites Classic ID. I have been thinking about letting the F2 go as I feel the Compadre fills the niche it does as I mainly use the small coil on the Fisher for hunting up close to play ground equipment. Plus I like the Compadre for trashy areas.

Any suggestions here? Should I consider other models?

Good luck with whatever you choose.I just bought a Vaq.and love it.I've read alot of good reviews on the umax also.HH

If you were purchasing a one and only detector I'd try to push you towards one with either manual ground or auto ground tracking. As you have that need covered, I think the Cibola is a great choice for what you describe. I've done a lot of successful detecting with the Silver Sabre µmax which is the µmax version that the Cibola replaced in the Tesoro lineup and the Cibola should be everything it is and more.
