Waiting for Xmas Compadre...Tips or Tricks?

Awesome Xmas gift!!! There are really no tricks due to its simplicity 
but I suggest running at about the "I" in iron and digging all repeatable signals, The Compadre is very forgiving with the swing speed you will see, once you find the target give it a couple of brisk swings over the top to see if signal breaks(aka the Tesoro Shake) if its still decent then dig'er up. Which coil did you get the 8" or the 5.75"? Im going to add the 8" to my collection soon. Good Luck and welcome to the Church of Compadre

If you just want to get the feel of it, Disc out a nickel and dig the solid signals. Or just like deliveryboy said. Set it at the "I" on iron. You will get more trash, but you will get the good gold also. You want the solid and strong sounds. Sometimes you will get a good signal that is kind of soft. That will be a deep target. Hopefully a coin or ring. If you get a good beep one direction and a broken or funny beep the other direction, that is probably a pull tab. Dig them funny beeps and remember what they sound like. Than dig. Most of the time it will be junk or a gold chain. I am making this harder on you. Don't dig and dig.. Get out if your ground is not frozen and have fun. You will wonder why you never bought one a long time ago. So much fun to use. The batteries will last for many hours unless it is frezzzzzzing cold out. Have an extra in your pocket.. We wont to see some pictures.... KEN
I set mine on the I in iron like has been said. Then I sweep pretty fast overlapping the coil only by 50% or less. I then listen for any beep. Then I find that beep at a slower sweep and dig. I don't do any thumbing of the disc knob - just dig. That's as complicated as it gets for me.
