Compadre kills it again today!

[doggoneitdignit]

Went out to the beach this morning with my son and nephew this time trying to discover some new finds on this perfect sunny day. Took out all 4 metal detectors, and yet the Compadre performed better then the rest. It just works! Don't have to pay more for a machine to find the things you are looking for and simple and light weight to use for the begginer, intermediate and advanced hunter.

Didn't get a chance to use my new T2 yet today..I was so busy with the sand scoop with the teens here didn't find much time for my self to try it out. Anyways this time pulled out the 11x8 RSD coil from my goto 5.75 trusty concentric (which I hardly ever swap out) on the Vaquero which I found some items but nothing compared to the Compadre which found nearly $8.00 today. What was noteworthy over the toonies and loonies that it hit was a older 1977 quarter, 1972 & 1952 penny, and a then a 1928 one cent penny. Compadre hit on the Chinesse coins and serpent pendant and another pendant not shown not sure if it was silver.

Deciding to keep this Compadre with me on all my hunts and possibly leave others behind because how well it does compared to the others. Do not under estimate the Compadre for what it can do, as it was even hitting better then the Vaquero on the beaches here anyways.

More posts to come, seems now my son is linking the sport now more then before.


I found a Molson Canadian 6.0 Coldshot strong beer (release Jan 1, 2001) looked like it had a expiry on the back maybe read 2005 that was 15" deep burried in the beach full still...thinking of cracking it open but I would have got sick so I didn't but it was hot and tempting to say the least and cold all the way down under.. hard to pass it up ..by the way must of helped the beach out by clearing out a case of empty's burried within the sand.

Anyways here are the pics.

PS by the way the 1920 was given to me by the previous owner of the T2 I purchased but put it beside the 1928 which is the oldest coin to date that I seen found.

By the way my nephew being a newbie found all of this with the Compadre not me or my son!

I have machines that have many more features but I always seem to find myself using the Compadre as my go to machine. It is a killer on anything. Nothing fancy, just meat and potatoes.........Cool finds by the way, and remember old beer is still good beer?? I can remember a story a boss of mine told me where he and his brother found a case of beer (1970's) in the basement of their farmhouse. Being teens they drank some, never got sick. A couple of months later their dad was cleaning the basement out and found the case of beer. Told the story of how he won it at a county fair back in the 50's.......I think he said it was Blatz beer......"The beer that Milwaukee famous"

Freshwater beach but there was still some hot rocks to contend with but not really to bad that day compared to antoher location that was realy only 2km away which produced way more hot rocks and the sand was more corse and rocky compared to the softer sand that I am dealing with in this post.. so noticed I was discrimitating out more unneeded targets than I was earlier at the main beach...with that said I seem to be hitting more targets and less hot rocks that's all. All and all a pretty good day.

Friday I asked my 7yr old grandson what he wanted for Christmas. With no hesitation he said; "Compadre. "

My dilemma is "I want one". So it appears GS will get an early Christmas present. Like Sept.

I believe I have read that there is a short shaft available for the compadre.
HH, reading posts like yours feeds the addiction.

I love the 11x8 Tesoro coils, light, deep, and just a joy to swing compared to the import junk.
