Hello all!
I was swinging the Vaquero at a local school. It was pretty cool as there was an older couple (he was 78!) already swinging when I got there. They had been detecting for 30 years and had some great stories of their finds over the years. Anyway, I was digging a couple dimes and pennies at 8", so I figured I would try the Compadre and go for some of the shallower targets (or maybe find a gold chain, lol). Soon after, I got a solid hit that still beeped after thumbing the disc up to almost max. About 4" down I found the silver "castle" charm on the bottom right. i only covered a small section of the grass in front of the school, so i'm definitely gonna go back and find that gold! I'm really impressed with the discrimination of the Compadre, I was able to really see how great it is, especially after trying it back to back with the Vaq. Scott
