Compadre 8 vs M6 - WOW!!!

It has everything to do with discrimination. Where did you have the disc knobs on both machines? Where did you have the sens knob on the M6? M6 tracking locked? To actually compare the two you need to use something like a nail and adjust the disc on both machines to just reject it. Then mark targets with one machine and try the other machine over it at the same exact angle. Then to be absolutely fair you need the M6 in single tone and dig every beep as if it had no Target ID. I'm no knocking either machine as I've has 2 Compadre's and 4 M6's. Both great machines.

EXACTLY!!! If you found three times as much with the compadre, it can only mean there was three times as much to find. The compadre is a great machine and IMHO, the best tot-lots detector there is, but your experience is not a fair comparison of the two.

My two cents.
 
What a silly comaprison. How would the compadre do in a filed of pulltabs...if you were searching for gold rings..........you'd end up digging thousands of them.There would be no specific and repeatable system to weed out certain rings from pulltabs!! The ground would look like a battlefield in North Korea. I've used the M6 and cherry picked 22 gold rings with very specific target id's from pulltab infested fields, in one year!!! On this basis I would consider the Compadre very very ineffective................but that's not to say it is a bad detector. It has it's place ... not in extreme mineral ( as M6 can) not on salt beaches , but mainly for lightly mineralized areas and tot lots.So if you have one good day with a Compadre...great enjoy it....but don't jump to ridiculous conclusions.
 
I have owned an M-6 and its about 4 pounds vs the compadres 2 that gives you an advantage right their the M-6 is better @ Identifign targets but the compadre really can get those little things . I have owned two compadres and am going back to my therd one with the 8" coal
 
I'm a happy owner of both the first model MXT and a Compadre 7" coil model. The MXT is similar enough to the M6 that I feel I can jump in and comment. I have to agree that for a true comparison both detectors should cover the same ground and ideally just mark the target until checked with both detectors, then retrieved. That said, while I like and enjoy using my Tesoros, they offer a different fun factor than the MXT mainly due to the weight difference. They all have their strengths and differences. I'm happy that I can have more than just one.

I wouldn't be in too much of a hurry to sell off that M6 . There's no telling how long you may to have to wait for the Cazador to be released
and how do you know it's going to be what you are expecting ? It's going to really have to be one heck of a machine before I were to get rid of my time proven M6 or Vaquero .
 
The Compadre is a bushel and a peck more fun to use than the M6.:detecting:
