DeepTech

8 inch compadre sensitivity

This thing is insane, it will pick up a .177 caliber pellet at 3 inches. I'm wondering if this would be a good disc setting for small gold and little relics when the pellet would just start to be discriminated out?

Small gold you would need to just disc out small nails, some small gold will come in down in the low foil range.

You need to try and find a small gold sample to put in front of your machine, lead is pretty far up the disc scale from gold. I use a small ear post for my small gold testing.

On my 8" Compadre a tiny 14k post earring can be heard to about 2 inches with the disc as low as it will go. It hits hard on bigger pendants and rings to very nice depths.

I noticed the same thing on my Tejon, they seem to like gold.

WV62,

How would you compare the Tejon to your 1270 depthwise and overall?
 
Well I don't have a Compadre nor do I have a .177 pellet, but!!!
I do have a Tejon (with the 5.75" Widescan coil mounted)
A 22 cal pellet cut in half.
In disc mode the best I can do air testing that combination is 5"

It sure sounds like you are having a good time with your new Compadre. It sure is a fun detector... KEN

We are note allowed to compare other brand machines on this forum. So I will just say the Tejon is the best machine I have ever had for gold and it is pretty strong on the coins as well.

Here is a picture of my air test results and the gold test items I used. I have posted this before but maybe it will be interesting to some new viewers.
