A friend picked up a 7" a few months ago for $125US.
It tests a little deeper than my 5.75 new one, but still looses depth as the discrimination increases.
Either way they both are deadly on little bits of gold and silver the kids lose.

 

[amberjack]

yep they like gold and aluminium

fun detectors and they work...

Exactly AJ. Fun and they work. I enjoy them and that's what matters to me.
Use what makes you happy.

It would be beter to adapt a 5 inch coilon them?

That's why they sell the 5.75 version.
I have both but use them differently

 

[juit]

what do you think about the cutlass? or super traq?

 

[Stoof-tabsallday]

I have the cutlass umax (not cutlass II umax) that before the Mojave was my compadre on steroids with all metal and sensitivity and runs at 12khz. I like it alot. Especially the old school high audio like my Bandido II umax

and the lobo?

Great gold hunter. As in nuggets. No ground balance in disc though.
Best to start another thread once you vier from thread title subject.

It's hard not to like a Tesoro. I can say other brands and models maybe better depth/performance wise with fancy bells and whistles but, can be annoying to use after awhile.
With a Tesoro, they make for a rather fun experience, probably why we all have at least one or always come back to the Tesoro Kingdom and get another.
Tesoros are like the VW of the detector industy, cheap on gas(batteries) too

And I do like the black color scheme

Possibly because they have similar size coils, compadre is set as high as stably possible in factory, and Mojave has sensitivity knob you can turn up to as high as stably possible.
Like Steve said, it just edges out the silver umax on depth meaning that the silver and compadre are closer depth wise then the Mojave.
Also the new coil could play a part in that.
I still have yet to compare it with my old 7" and my Troy super 7.

From my experience the Compadre is not set at max sensitivity at the factory. I have turned the internal pot. up on a lot number of them and it made a noticeable difference.

I don't doubt they can be turned up. I meant to highest while staying stable.
I'm sure there's a pot inside the Mojave that can be turned up too.
But to me I use the compadre and now the Mojave as they are. If I need more power I go to the vaquero or one of my Turkish detectors.

 

[amberjack]

pedalpumpinggirls or was that I mean what's a Tesoro anyway I am going for the dak dak and a pedalpumpinggirl

Nahhh, you loose 1 inch in discrimination but you add 1 plus if you run it a lil hotter ill take a compadre any day with 7 inch depht in discrimination mode also the mojave has the sens so thats what you do when you bump it a lil bit
