Thanks for all of the welcoming encouragment. I hope the Silver uMax does a great job for me too.

It looks like it will be a great detector for me as well. I went to my friends house after I got it and we detected in his yard for an hour or so. We found an old piece of large metal with two holes in it. We found a handful change including 1 wheat, 5 Quarters, 6 dimes, 2 nickels, and 12 pennies. The detector was chirping a bit in his yard but I was very occasionally so I think it was iron. So far I am really liking this Tesoro Silver uMax.
