Compadre Finds Treasure :canadaflag:

[Hotdawg]

Hi All,

Haven't posted on here for a while. This afternoon for 2.5hrs I decided to take my Compadre out to a spot that found me treasure including just over $9.00 in Cdn. cash, a 2002 Portugal one Euro coin, a 1.7 grams silver ring, a spoon from Japan, a U.S. fighter jet toy and an old Adams thermometer. Disc was set at the " A " in All Metal.

Thx..

Nice finds. Fellow Canadian here. Do you find you can distinguish Canadian steel coins from junk iron with the Tesoro?

Nice looking silver ring. I've seen that design before.

Thx., for your comments.

Yes I can distinguish Canadian steel coins from junk Iron by that the coins give a solid repeatable sound both ways while swinging the coil, where as the junk iron or trash gives the popping crackling or the pull-tab sounds, but I usually dig all pull-tabs because in most cases that's where the 14Kt GOLD rings are.

The Compadre hits pretty solid on toonies and loonies and I am still amazed at that because the machine is manufactured in the U.S..

Where as my other machine the screen is all over the place for both loonies and toonies.

Great hunt with that Compadre! It never ceases to amaze me what that little screen less one knob wonder can find!

From a fellow Canadian and Tesoro user..
The one Dollar coin is bronze plated nickle till 2011 and 2012 they switched to brass plated steel till present.

Two Dollar Coin
Prior to 2012, the coin consisted of an aluminum bronze inner core with a pure nickel outer ring; however in spring 2012 the composition of the inner core switched to aluminum bronze coated with multi-ply plated brass, and the outer ring switched to steel coated with multi-ply plated nickel.

Once you figure out that big hit is not a crushed aluminum can its high totals.

Glad to hear that the Compade hits Canadian coinage as hard as the Vaquero Hot Dawg.
