Uuuuur....well one of your famous U.S. detectorists said at that time that you should buy two. One to use and one to hang on the wall (to admire I assume).

I didn't find it that good. It was essentially a Silver Sabre variation intended to deal with iron sites better. 10.6 kHz frequency with the low noise circuit of the time. Discrimination is silent search with the big plus of a no motion all metal mode. It didn't sell that well and I was told those that didn't sell got shipped back to the States. I think the stock coil was an 8".

If you could pick one up for the same price as a Sabre of the period it might be worth considering but I don't think you would find the depth compared with the later Tesoro's.
