Tesoro Compadre Metal Detector Sweep Speed

[Jim Walker]

I saw this video I thought was unreal. On the sweep speed. In the video about time marker 4:30,
when he lines up the sweep just right over the target, it is unbelievable. ...Jim

At that speed, if the edge of the coil was sharpened he could cut grass, and metal detect at the same time. Talk about multitasking .

Cut grass, metal detect and golf.

With the disc on iron like he says, try that swing on an old site with a lot of iron bits and nails in the ground and I bet most everything is missed.

I remember looking for coins like the one that is chased around in the grass. Glad I got a pin pointer, really speeds up the recovery process.

I thought he was really flying. I go even faster than that with mine in tot lots! You're not gonna believe this, but I have hit deep targets and when I slowed down to pinpoint a little better, the signal got weaker. It's really NOT the speed that misses the deeper targets as much as it is the ground minerals or iron content in the soil that is the problem. The little two-filter Tesoros have to have a little time to deal with those conditions. I guess I'll have to make a video of mine "cause in some places I FLY BABY. Not only that, I can pinpoint ON THE FLY cause the Tesoros have such a fast response I "freeze" my eyes on the spot where the detector beeps and can usually pinpoint it on the second sweep. The Compadre rocks.

That video is not running in real time. Look at how fast his hands are moving when he is digging.

I have seen this guys videos before on his youtube account. Notice he doesn't use a drop cloth. I saw where he was hunting a park and I suggested he use a drop cloth to keep the area clean and it would help him recover his targets much easier once out of the hole.
He responded with some not so nice words.

I once tried to help a guy-he would swing his detector just like a golf club. The coil would come over waist high on his backsweep and finish forward over waist high on his forward sweep. I told him he was actually only searching a half foot per swing. He said he wanted to have the coin right in front of him when he pinpointed. I like to see this type of people. Gives me confidence that no place is searched out.

I saw a guy doing that on the beach last summer. We talked some and went in different directions. I was hunting the towel line and below it in the wet sand, he was above the towel line in the dry. Passed again on the way back. On his way up the beach he had found a nice 14K ring, I had only clad and junk. He just happened to put the coil over the right spot with that swing. About all there was to say was congrats!

lol - Kind of messed my head trying to follow at those speeds.
