I just bought this but forgot to ask if it has the new tones.
Should get it by Saturday.
looks pretty good.
I wonder how it will do on sand from a fresh water lake.

I recently acquired an old-tone Golden Umax and am really enjoying using it at trashy sites. I think it would do fine on a fresh-water beach unless the sand itself is mineralized.

Lucky You - - I been wanting one of those for quite sometime now but settled for a Bandito 2 the 2nd one in the series. I Snapped it up off e-bay at a very good price. Problem is once you get something in your head it's very hard to shake it off LOL. I think you will do very well with it as well . they still seem to hold a good resale value so in any case I can't see where you can lose by having one ..I think it's a WIN WIN DEAL FOR YOU.

took it to the cottage today and set it up just like 53 silver in the video.
worked great but found only two clad pennies maybe detected for 20 min.
the depth is what bothers me-I have another good detector that I really like and might put this up and let someone who really wants one to get it.
It is no doubt a great park detector.

Just not sure yet.

Then it's not a New tone as depth is improved at least a inch. My New Tone Golden can hit 9" Coins in My ground with proper tone. The 8" inch brown donut coil alone will increase depth an inch on coins. The stock coil is junk IMHO.
