Got my first bracelet and button with the Compadre.....

[jazzman58]

Out at the inlaws farm last weekend and got in the first "serious" hunt of the year. Still trying to learn the sounds of the Compadre and was playing around a bit with the disrimination settings just to see how the machine would react. The bracelet is just an aluminum ID type, on the back it has a place for blood type, etc. The button is covered in cloth or nylon and at first I thought it was a head of a carrage bolt until I looked at it closer when I go home. Also picked up the usual "artifacts" like the end to a garden hose, some washers, bits of various metals, and oh yeah, a pull tab or forty. Got to say I cannot put that Compadre down, simple machine but it still finds the "good stuff".

glad to wee you are finding things with the Cmpdry got to dig those tabs to find gold .

Thanks kaolinwasher. I tend to dig everything with the Compadre as to not miss something good. Once in a while I am suprised by what I find. Certain areas of the farm tend to be very iron infested and it makes it difficult to detect. Some times I work through it, other times I go elsewhere, depending on how I feel that day. Hopefully someday there will be "G in the pock" (sorry couldn't help myself on that one).

Nice going. The Compadre works pretty good at sites with iron. Take the problem iron that you find such as a rusty nail and just barely discriminate it out and then dig all clean signals.

Seems like I;m only hearing good things about the Compadra.WTG.

Hey metalfun, the Compadre is a great machine for the money. Nothing fancy, just "beep and dig". Final discrimination comes down to the operator. You learn what it is telling you by the sound/resonants of the tone. A little different than a multi tone machine. Just takes a little bit to understand. Still learning myself, but still having fun...........

I enjoy my Compadre. It's very simple to use and once you have the sounds it's making understood you'll be digging a lot of good stuff.
