The month of July I used my COMPADRE 85% of the time. The rest was with my Tiger Shark in the water. Coins = $14.72 in clad... A lot of kids jewelry and a few gold rings. With a bucket of other mater (junk). For the new ones out there, You will find a lot of trash. You will dig the trash to find some good items. Don't think that you will buy a detector that only finds coins or gold rings. It just wont happen. Get out , have fun and enjoy your hobby.... KEN
