Just when I think I'm done with Tesoro's, I buy another one.

I think this will be the 6th Compadre I've owned...lol. I have owned every coil option on them and even the Euro Compadre with adjustable audio. This one has 5.75

Is that the one that was just on auction?
I was going to bid but already have both modern versions. If I could find the older one with holes in speaker grill and higher audio tone is go for it.

I actually found this one on Etsy. There is a Vaq on that site too. I once had the one with the round speaker and 7" coil. Wish I kept it.

Something about 12KHz Metal Detectors on detecting very fine metal, and jewerly and depth. This easy to use light machine kicks !@#$. Would like to see a comparison of the Simplex and the Compadre. Enough said.

Very little activity on all these Tesoro boards now that they went under. But I have not quit. Have a Cibola on the way!

I don’t know what it is about the Mojave; a great detector. So simple but works so well. I find interesting goodies with mine every time out. Sad that it was just too little, too late for Tesoro.

Finally came today!

Looks like one to me!
You’ll need to show us the first rings you find with it!

I have a compadre from 2018 I bought new, it has maybe 20 hours on it, the coil went bad in March of 19. I’m thinking of soldering on another coil. I just hesitate to buy another 8” coil, would it need tuned?

There should be a ground balance trim pot inside, in case you need to fine tune GB. You may want to consider adding the plug, so you can just plug in another coil. I think that used to be a common modification.
