They Will Both Find Coins, But...

Either one will find jewelry, just have to go over it with the coil and dig it. I have had better luck with my Tiger Shark at a popular fresh water swimming hole, location is the key. Gold is where you find it, looking for spots that produce lost jewelry is where I'd look, soccer fields, tot lots and my best location is a popular lake beach in waist to chest deep water with the Tiger Shark.

The Cibolas I had in the past worked extremely well for tiny, small jewelry with the 5.75" coil.
The favored Compadres were the ones with the 7" coil which they do not offer with it anymore.
Since your probably going to be working the first 6" on average, in the ground, either will do.
You get a lot of bang for the buck with the Compadre, cheaper than the Cibola.

Can only give a opinion on the Comapdre and only received mine today as well,but have been raiding the wife's jewellery box with small gold items and must admit i am well pleased with the results,it certainly finds the very smallest of gold items,even with the small 4'' coil on it am still getting reasonable depth,the 7'' WS coil is deeper but not tested that one much but it still picks up the small finds.
Cibola is supposed to be a deep machine but cannot comment about it will small gold jewellery though.

My vote is the compadre. Mine has paid for a few of my detectors. I have found some very tiny broken chains. Sometimes it might only be a crack snap and pop. That is why I hunt in all metal a lot. I love hunting for jewlery. The coins go in my jug.
Congrats Mega on your new compadre. I am sure you will fall in love with it. Have fun... KEN. Ind.

I don't have the Cibola, but I hear it is a great machine for depth. I do have a Compadre though and it definitely hits hard on the jewelry. It has found many pieces of silver jewelry, some silver coins and all of my gold jewelry finds. It is a jewelry finding machine. I never seem to come home without finding some pretty good loot with it. Get ready to have a sore mouth from all the grinning you are going to do if you swing a compadre. There is a lot to smile about with what it can find. I am thinking of adding a second one to the lineup in the future.

When all's said and done, it's pretty hard to beat a Compadre considering the price.

It all boils down to fine jewelry vs. "regular size" jewelry. The Compadre shines with fine, tiny jewelry-but you also get the smallest foil. canslaw, etc. unless you up the discrimination. Other detectors will find larger gold. So you would really keep the Compadre as a -well compadre-to your other detectors.
