First of all, Welcome from Perth!
The Compadre is a fabulous machine, simple and light weight. It's a motion type of detector which means when you stop moving over a target, it nulls and goes silent. You have to keep it moving ever so slightly when you are locating and pinpointing a target. The battery level indicator sounding lies a bit. Change them often. Mine last about 6 hours in total before they start getting too weak to perform even though the power up cycle says they're still good.
Pinpointing is in the center of the coil so put a fluorescent dot in the very middle of the coil. Stare at it when you pinpoint a target so that when you move away, the retinal image is ghosted over your target. Use no discrimination. Dig every target. The discrimination circuit will eliminate some valuable items which look like pull tabs to the machine. Swing slow and low to the ground for best results.
Please turn off your caps lock and use proper punctuation to relieve the stress on the eyes of anyone reading your posts.

It's all about that moment when metal that hasn't seen the light of day for generations frees itself from the soil and presents itself to me.
