| Nothing puzzles, pesters and plagues the metal
detectorist like the pull tab. If you turn up your discrimination
high enough to knock them out, you lose nickels and gold rings.
Keep the rings and you'll wind up digging a thousand pull tabs
before you find your first gold ring.
When Notch Filter Discrimination was invented, manufacturers,
engineers and detectorists thought that the days of digging
pull tabs were over. Unfortunately, drink can manufacturers
seemed to go
out of their way to come up with as many sizes, shapes and
aluminum alloys of pull tabs that they could think of. Now
a lot of good targets are lost in the junk of pull tabs.
Most machines give you a broad notch window or smaller mix
and match multiple windows. These windows give you a very
small amount of control over the notch discriminate but can't
take into account changing ground conditions and different
local aluminum alloys. With these problems in mind, Jack and
Vince Gifford set out to design a detector that would give
the detectorist the maximum control to match his hunting tastes
and local conditions. Thus the Golden µMax was born.
The Golden µMax uses three different systems to give
you the best in control. First, we started with Tesoro's ED
120 discrimination letting you decide how much junk to knock
out. Detectorists around the world know our discrimination
has been time tested and proven.
Second, a multi-tone ID gives you information to help you
decide what targets to dig. The Golden µMax has four
target tones with a separate tone for saturation. The first
tone is for iron. The second tone is for foil to just around
nickels. The third covers most pull tabs to around screw caps
and the final tone is for pennies and silver. These are single
tones and are easy to distinguish. Iron may also produce a
rolling tone. It will either start high and go lower in pitch
or start low and go higher,
depending on the size and shape of the target. The saturation
tone is a quick double beep that lets the user know that there
is a shallow target. When you hear the double beep, just lift
the coil an inch or two off the ground to get an accurate
tone ID.
Third, we added a user adjustable Notch Filter Discrimination.
Unlike other machines, the Golden µMax gives you control
of what falls inside the notch window. The first control is
the Notch Switch. It lets you choose between losing just pull
tabs or pull tabs and screw caps. When the switch is set to
the desired setting, the Notch Width knob allows adjustment
of nickels, pull tabs and gold rings. All o f these targets
are very close together and in some areas even overlap. We
give you the choice to find what you want. Don't want any
pull tabs? You can knock them all out. Willing to get some
pull tabs to keep rings and nickels? You can do that too.
With the Golden µMax, the choice is all in your hands.
