RIGHT ON! The right detector for the right location. I had a ball with my Compadre today-in a slightly trashy area. When I get out to where the trash starts-and I mean screwcaps, tabs,etc=out comes the Ace w/sniper coil. Which brings up another point=the RIGHT coil can make up for a lot of mistakes on an ID machine.Ivan said:I agree that "beep and dig" detectors have their place. But let me give you and example where they are almost useless. My detecting buddy and I were in a big football field near Seattle Wa. There were targets literally everywhere, many many of them were coin targets......useless mainly copper 1cent coins.If there were this many targets, lets refine the search I thought to myself, so I went back and took out the Deleon.........my goal was to not waste time guessing target id's and digging common ( as my buddy did) clad. There must be better stuff here. My goal was to dig nickel targets only..............there were plenty of them. While my buddy using the Silver Sabre dug pennies,quarters and various other junk targets that " sounded good" he ended up with $3.45 in coins, and a couple of links from a silver chain. He dug three times the holes i dug.....had to spend triple the time refilling those holes... in the end I got......are you ready (honest no B.S.) three gold rings!!!!!!!!! I also found lots of pulltabs but I was able to seperate out alot of them by the use of the target ID. At the end of the hunt I had one 10K and two 14K rings, all about mid size and could be clearly differentiated on the meter from bothersome coins and some pulltabs. I spent my time much more productivly than he did..........my payoff was much greater. To console my buddy i treated him to lunch...after all it was his Deleon... the one he rarely uses because he can tell almost all targets by sound...LOL LOL That's why I'm hoping for a new Tesoro Target ID detector, especially one that does not have a preset ground balance.
