Tesoro Compadre Air Test on Small Gold Pieces (Video)

[pkrska]

I tested the Tesoro Compadre on some real small pieces of gold. Here are the results.

I got about 3" when using All Metal and 1" or so when using iron descrimination.
Good to know, if you're ever in the gold fields with a Compadre and you come upon that black sand comparised of iron, you'll still be able to get a signal on gold.

(I wonder if that Compadre mod would makes any difference on the depth?)

Very impressive. I would love to compare that to a Garrett Ace 250 and see if also hits. Anyone in the Toronto Ontario area with a 250, contact me and we'll do a test it on? Tesoro Compadre is a 12 khz machine and the 250 is a 6 khz. Make me wonder if it's worth getting a lower frequency compared to the upper 12+ frequency detectors.

Thanks for sharing. I learned something new from watching your video.

I have an Ace. It doesn't even come close. Different detectors. Not even the Silver umax, which I also have, comes close. lt's just a different animal.

wonder what my Vaq. will do with the 5.75? just send me the gold and I will test it....

Can you share with us what you have learned?

I am surprised that some examples in metal detector pamphlets show a 6 khz detector capable of finding larger gold a greater depth but a 20 khz can pic out the gold closer to the surface. I saw that for a Eureka Gold minelab brochure. Their triple frequency VLF technology hits on 6, 20 and 60 khz. Showing the 60 on the top gold only.
