Hi folks just wanted to let everyone know the Tesoro Compadre is a real good machine! I took my 7 year old out the other day and gave the Compadre a good test at a local school. The first thing I did was shorten the rod assembly for her. She found it very comfortable and easy to use. Basically its a turn on and go machine, but very capable of finding the smallest of the smallest. We picked up a bunch of hair pins, modern coins, and little trinket jewelry. We also recovered a few tiny staples! It really amazed me when it picked up the staples, knowing that I knew if we swept low and slow , we were not going to miss much. I would not hesitate to recommend the Compadre to anyone, especially children and those getting into the hobby.
Too bad some people think it's only made for kids.
Big mistake!
Yes it is...........A big mistake why they think that i have no idea......... Unless they think they have to spend a $1000.00 for a good detector. ... They get brain washed easy............
THAT'S RIGHT I DID IT SO WHAT , CRY TWO TEARS IN A BUCKET , FACE IT , LET'S TAKE IT TO THE STAGE....---LET NO ONE KNOW WHAT WHERE OR WHEN -----
Good to hear.I have one on order for my son. I love my silver and I'm hoping he loves the Compadre. I think sometimes people forget this hobby is suppose to be fun and rewarding. I can't wait to go hunting together with 2 detectors. Dan
