On another forum some people were asking about the depth of the Mojave compared to the Compadre in heavily mineralized soil. My soil here in southwest colorado is terrible reading 3 to 4 bars on the FE meter on the F75 with alkali patches all over. I have to run the Mojave with the high mineral switch on all the time. I took the CTX and marked 3 wheats in the 6 to 7 in range reading 12 39, 40, 1 buffalo nickel 12-14, at 7in, one 12-46 at 8in which I was sure was a silver dime and one 12-34 at 9in which I thought was a deep indian. Turned out to be a hard times token. Went back to the truck and got the Mojave and Compadre and went to test the targets. The Compadre with the 8in coil hit them all except the dime and token. I had the disc set on the I in iron but when I thumbed the disc up to see where they would go out at they disappeared just past the O in foil. The Mojave hit them all even with full disc except the token. Think it would have been a better match up against the Silver micromax.
