Well that didn't take long at all. I only detected for around 45 minutes, because of the high humidity was causing sweat to run into my eyes and the dry clay ground made digging very difficult to say the least. With all these Compadre posts made lately I decided to take the Compadre out for a short while to see if it works as great as I remembered. I haven't used the Compadre in a long while, but I remember how well it found silver necklaces and gold jewelry. I went to local park that has been hunted to death for silver and clad coins, but with all the pull tabs still in the ground I knew that it hasn't been hunted much for gold jewelry. Along with the gold baby ring charm, I found a few nickels. I always like finding them. The charm was only down about 2 or 3 inches. It gave weak but repeatable signal. I had the discrimination set on the 'f' in foil. After I dug the charm, I laid it on the ground and experimented with the discrimination some. When I moved the discrimination to a point between 'iron' and 'foil' I was able to get a couple of more inches than I could when I had it set on the 'f' in foil. At any rate, I'm going to put a 5.75 coil on my Silver

Tesoro Compadre Strikes Gold :tesoro::usaflag:
- Thread starter tabman
- Start date
It is so much fun to use the Compadre. Did it feel good to use it again? I hate to use anything else. This after noon I got off work 30 minutes early. Had an old place to check out. Must have been a lot of parties their. All I found was the old beaver tail tabs. So this place has not been hit to hard. Has to be some gold their... KEN

That's what I say when I start finding lots of nickels and pull tabs. A place isn't hunted out until you can't find any more targets to dig.
A lot of places have been cherry picked for silver coins, but there are still hundreds of gold rings still left hiding in all that trash.
That's where Tesoro detectors like the Compadre excel.
You can still unmask some silver coins in those hunted out sites as well.tabman

I live in Germantown, it's a separate town that's adjacent to Memphis,Tennessee. It's hot and muggy here for a couple of months, but the good thing is you can hunt most every day during the winter months since we have such mild winters. When I detect, I prefer the colder weather, but not freezing temperatures.
