New Compadre - First Impressions

[mike5853]

This detector is fast, accurate, relatively deep (solid 6 inches on a dime after adjustment) and laser sharp on targets!]

What did you adjust?

I turned up the sensitivity a 1/4 turn. See site - http://www.findmall.com/read.php?17,1310101,1313149#msg-1313149

HH - I find the disc a little sharper as well, with pinpointing a lot sharper. So, you have a md that has great target resolution ( it can hit on the smallest, tiniest, targets), extra hot on jewelry, pin point accuracy, light weight, depth to 7 inches on some metals, and incredible discrimination, all at $160! It almost doesn't make sense not to own one!

I find myself wanting a Compadre with the 8 inch doughnut coil. I read somewhere that's the way they're being sold overseas. I wonder how much depth they would get on coins here in the USA? On the other hand, if they had the 5.75 coil and we had the 8 inch coil, I'd want it also.

Hi Tabman,

If you have soldering skills.......you could buy the 5 pin extension cable from Tesoro for $30 and then you could attach any coil (5 pin) you wanted to the Compadre
