SILVER µMax OPERATOR INSTRUCTION MANUAL 

 

 

 

CONGRATULATIONS! 

Your new Tesoro Silver µMAX metal detector is part of a new series of detectors designed to 
provide you with many happy hours of enjoyment in the most rewarding hobby I can think of—
treasure hunting. Ahead of you lie fascinating and exciting experiences as you step into the 
past—uncovering artifacts lost by past generations, or as you take pleasure in the great outdoors 
with family and friends searching for precious metals. I wish we could share these experiences 
with you, and all of us at Tesoro wish you the best of success.  

Your Tesoro detector is capable of meeting your needs in a wide range of treasure hunting 
situations. As with any other metal detector, familiarity with this instrument is probably the 
limiting factor in determining how successful you can be. I recommend that you read this manual 
and fully understand how to operate this detector before attempting to use it in the field. As you 
become more familiar with your detector through practice, your rate of success will increase 
dramatically.  

The Silver µMAX is a precision electronic instrument that will last for years if properly cared 
for. Treat it right and it won’t let you down.  

Good Hunting! Jack Gifford
