First time out with the Compadre there nice machines

[Trackerman]

Well i went to park i usually go to where ive found quiet a bit of change.Set up machine funny in the picture the control box looks like steel but there plastic.That was a mild letdown but not to big of a deal.Also the coil looks seems a little fragile.But it is a 150.00 detector so. Just when i started to dig a little Dam Park turkey showed up and said dont dig up the grass.So i told him that i was fillen the holes anyway.So from then on just dug were there was dirt and not grass.park had lowsy grass to begin with.So i guess i cant give 100 percent review but at least a half decent one here wee go.Turn on machine you get one loud beep machine is inicializing.Then you set it were you want to disk out .So i set it from iron back. so it would pick up everything above iron.Well these Compadres are pretty smooth on sound and performance.Very easy to target.Much easier than my Ace 250.Seems very sensitive on small metals.Didnt find too much in the 2hours i was there because turkey man had to ruin my day.But i think it would of found a decent amount of coins.Its depth is pretty good too.very easy to use.I primaroly bought it because i hear its good on jewlry and rings.overall id say its a pretty good machine but i really need to hit another good park and the beach and tear it up to really give you guys the lowdown on this unit.Ill give more info as i hit some spots.Well happy hunting.

Re: Well just picked up A Compadre heres my mild opinion of it but good one

Sounds good, would like to hear more when the turkeys are not around. For the price and if your just bombing around the parks and stuff, it sounds like and easy and effective detector from what I have read.

Well back again went to another park and the Compadre worked great. Found plenty .This machine discs out iron well .Its very quiet and gets good battery life on one 9 volt.It also easily sees a coin 6" if not more. Tesoro Makes great Detectors.

I love my Compadre. I found a wedding ring last year in a park that was appraised at five thousand dollars. I won Treasure Hunter of the year at my detector club. I have found many valuable jewlery items with mine. Not bad for a one hundred twenty nine dollar machine! I have a friend that has a seven hundred dollar Whites machine, and I think he is ready to sell to buy a Compadre.
