Oh, yes I see now. Tesoro is its own company. I see it says that it does not have the "bells and whistles". Does the Compadre let you know what it finds, since it does not respond with bells and whistles. Or you just discriminate and then go off and dig up every beep it makes on the accepted metal?

Well, take tha Silver Sabre uMax. It has two knobs. One is sensativity, and does not tell a person anything about tha target. The Silver has a all metal to pin point with, but it is a motion discriminate mode just like tha disc mode. that mode just does not have any discrimination.

As you go up in Tesoro models, a non-motion threshold based all metal is added. Then a manual ground balance.

The main thing one misses with tha Compadre is a good all metal mode. But tha Compadre just does not need it.

I can usually tell tha differnce between a clad penny and a copper penny, or dime. I can tell coke cans. I can tell large objects. I can usually tell a nickel from a pull tab. I can tell depth. I can tell coins pretty good. And tha list goes on.

These are the things anyone does when they are in tune with any machine.

To tell how I do all this would have too many words to be allowed in a post. And I still could not get all out.

A lot is not even on a concious level.

Happy Huntin,

I can even tell a nail with tha Compadre.

Can yaw do that?

It is not a majic machine.

I am just in tune with it.

It is just a little jewel,

Wow, that is really in tune with your machine. I am getting that way with my detector. I quickly found the Compadre and I found a store that's price is $169.00, with lifetime warranty. I take it, it is a non-motion detector?

I don't really ever use All Metal Mode. I usually use Jewelry mode on my GTP.

I have wanted to get a second detector, more so a cheap but good one. My only detector is heavy at time, and having something like the Compadre would probably help a lot with that problem or the Bounty Hunter series.

Thanks for information,

No. The Compadre is a VLF, motion discriminate detector.

I don't really ever use All Metal Mode. I usually use Jewelry
mode on my GTP.

I use mine a lot in areas with little trash. It is deep, wide and
descriptive. Covers more area and depth usually.

I have wanted to get a second detector, more so a cheap but
good one.

In my opinion the Compadre has no rival in that area.

My only detector is heavy at time, and having something like
the Compadre would probably help a lot with that problem or
the Bounty Hunter series.

Most bounty Hunters are over 3 pounds. That just kills me.
All my machines are Tesoro uMax design. They weigh real
close to 2 pounds with a 5.75" coil. That is important to me.

Happy Huntin,

One advantages of the Compadre are that it is not beafed up.
You do not tend to get so many targets at one time. Yes you
can turn them monsters down, but it just aint tha same.

I know the Compadre can go into hunted out trashy places and
pick out coins and jewelry that tha big boys went ringt over.

But any good machine may do tha same thing.

It aint majic, but it sure is quick. In a tot lot type environment,
300 targets an hour is average for me, and I am old and
delapidated.

All that other stuff just makes for less targets recovered.

Ya got ravage a good spot. Nothin better to start than a Compadre.
It will get tha first layer. Then tha deep coins and stuff can be found.

Too much work? That is right. That is why there are so many goodies
in my Arkie Ablem;

Hm, sounds like the Compadre would be just fine with me. Does that 5.75" coil come with it, or bought separately?

The 5.75 concentric coil comes with it.
It is hard wired to the housing.

It can not be changed without modifying
it and puting a connector on tha housing
and tha cord.

That would void tha warranty though.

I do not know why one would need a
different coil. If you need depth, you
would just use a deeper detector.

The Compadre is not a depth monger.
It works kind of like some of the older
Tesoroes that people loved so much.

But, tha Compadre has tha full exceptance
range which tha older Tesoroes did not have.

It aint for everybody. But it is a little jewel,

Ah, that is good. I was looking at the 5.75" coil, and it was wanted for $109.00. I just thought that it would be worth my time investing into another detector, since the Tesoro series seems popular. Okay, last question. What has been the oldest coin that you have found with the compadre? I already have the GTP, which has no problem seeking those deep and old coins. I just wanted a detector that would speed up my finds.

I don't know if you think the Compadre speeds up recoveries or not. Does it work well in trashy areas? I have read that the quicker a detector can read a target, and the quicker it can recover and single out items in trashy environments. Sorry for all the questions if they are a hassle to ya. I was just investigating on the Compadre.

Thanks for everything,
~Metal_Inspector~

Oh, I dont mind.

I always liked talkin about tha Compadre any ways.

It will not rival your GTP when it comes to findin those
old, deep coins. I do not find many old coins at all.

There is a line that I am west of. Almost everything
west of that line only goes back to the mid 1800s.
And then folks did not have much in tha way of money
to even spend, much less loose.

My uncle never even saw a penny. Not a dollar or a nickle.

Not til he moved out of his fathers house and got a job.

So I hunt gold jewelry and artifacts.

Coins are too slow for me. I have to have something to
keep my interest up.

But the Compadre will find those masked coins that all
tha others missed because it was so trashy. That it will
do well.

If you need depth, the GTP would be much better.

The Compadre is a great addition. Only a fair stand alone.
Depending on where you use it. It is great in some places.
That is why it makes a better addition. It does not have
tha versatility of the GTP.

Happy Huntin,

Tabdog

Hm, okay then. That is good.

For example, what would be the best areas to use the Compadre in? I plan to use it in local parks and such, which I understand and know it probably would do exceptionally well in. Otherwise, I plan to use the GTP in areas that I know contain older things that are sunk into the ground deeper.

Anyways, so you have you found any silver Washingtons with the Compadre? Or all clad and modern change 1965 and above?

Thanks for any info.

I know of at least one merc dime, a quarter in tha 1950s
and some wheaties.

It has been a long time sense I have found any coins
from tha 1800s.

Years ago I would hunt down town and find some old coins.
But that is getting harder and harder.

I wait for some construction. That will sometimes yeld some
older coins.

Tha Compadre does best in tot lots and heavy trash.

I like it for working a place after a big event. Then I will
concentrate on surface targets. Those places are always
trashy. Compadre can skim along real quick. That takes
practice though. So does using any machine, to get the
most out of it.

The other stuff is for my other detectors,

Happy Huntin,
