Back around Thanksgiving I was doing some buying and ended up with a Compadre. I air tested it and tested it in my test garden. I used it a little around the house trying it out, but I haven't taken it out to hunt until today.
My Tiny Tec came in yesterday so I took it along.
It was cold but sunny, so I took my Compadre and Tiny Tec to the swimming pool where I found a diamond ring one day. I keep hoping to duplicate that feat.
The Tiny Tec performed admirably when I used it, which wasn't much but it did the trick when I called on it. It fits in my back pocket which worked OK.
The Compadre was just a true joy to use. I love the depth. I'm not saying deep, but just the right depth to make a whole different way of hunting the trashy poolside area. It's a gem. I'm so glad I didn't sell it, like I started to. I new the depth of each target. It's obvious with the Compadre. The deeper it is the softer the response. The discriminator is so crisp, it seems better than the one on my Eldorado. Can that be
I did not miss the other knobs, the pin pointer or the extra depth. It's a go any where, do any thing, just not deep detector.
It's great. Why didn't I use it before now?
I noticed that someone els has been there. They did not do a good job of fixing their holes:sad: I think it's my new buddy Bob. I inspired him to get his old XLT out of the dust and use it. He has informed me that Mind Labs, Fishers, Garretts and other brands have been pulling stuff out of the park for years and they thought it was hunted out. He hunted with me one day and he was supprised to see me pulling jewlery out of the ground. He was only finding coins with his XLT. He didn't have quality headphones. He was using discrimination and reading the stuff on his TID. I didn't tell him what I was doing but he may have figured some of it out.
I found a big hole covered up and a dime laying on the ground 1' from the hole. Apparently the dime rolled off the dirt pile and he didn't find it. That was one of those signals that disappeared.
Well I didn't find a diamond ring this time. But I did find a silver pendant. It looks like a water pitcher. I can tell it's silver by the way it is tarnished. I also found a home made ring. I think it's made of a piece of pipe with a crude design on it. I found some coins and lots of trash.
My fingers started to freeze. The sun went behind the trees. That was all this old far+ could take.
HH,
