Church of the Compadre...

I'd rather not dig 1,000,000 pieces of foil for a gold chain worth $50...Enjoy your trash folks. I'll still dig lbs of it every week...but not as much as you guys apparently.

Here's the thing. I owned an Etrac, nice md, boy that display is something else. So I went head to head with an Etrac a while back, I had my Vaquero. By the time that fellow made a decision on whether or not he should dig, I was on my third target, another silver dime. Oh yea, when he was ready to quit, those buggers are heavy, I was still swinging away. Look, Etrac is an excellent md, no question, but that facts are, you simply won't find any more then a guy with a Vaquero, or, maybe even a Compadre in certain situations.
Just saying. By the way, great finds.

Good Hunting

To add to that, I dug a lot of coins today, but not much trash. I mean only about 5 trash items to 68 coins. Just because it is a beep dig machine does not mean we can't hear the difference between coin and junk. I am speaking from first hand experience and not hear say.
 
another bip and dig religious follower over here, the compadre is "the one" :neo:
 
You guys are making me wanna get one of these little machines. Just how light is one?

Man, this thing is extended arm, balanced on the end of a pinky light. When I first assembled it, I thought I made a horrible mistake by buying one because it almost felt like a toy. After swinging it for about five minutes I realized it's a must have piece of equipment.

PS: congrats Bob!
 
When mine arrived in the mail I asked my wife to lift the box.....she asked if they forgot to send it?!?! Yup it's that light :)

you people got me fired up talkin bout religon and smokin.. nothin goes together better. I had a cousin he was one of those second cousins once removed I never knew what that ment but I met him once and was too embarrased to ask him but I figured it was once removed from the litter I didnt let on like we was better than him because he was a famous Christian comedian. His name was Wendy Bagwell and him and 3 women would travel around the country, he would tell Christian jokes (there are still a few around believe it or not) but they were called Wendy Bagwell and the Starlights I think it was. I still laugh about the time he went up into the north georgia mtns We all lived around Atlanta so it was just a day trip for em but they arrived at this real primitive church he said everybody was real nice but he noticed one of the members hand was all curled up and he was thinkin about it when the preacher told him to take the podieum he noticed the guy pull out a burlap sack from behind him and dumped out a pile of venomous snakes. well wendy asked the pastor where the back door was and the pastor said there aint one. Wendy said well where do you reckon they want one. He was really funny second to none. He sent me his tape about two weeks after he died. Well yall got me so fired up I almost forgot to ask yall you know im old school and im old so i use an old fashioned metal detector One of my number 1 cousins still uses his he made that runs on transistors him and his daddy were big hamm radio nuts. but mine is a little more primitive. I decided on this model because it was as far as my intelligence level would carry me. I use a long mop stick with the head cut off with a long stout finishin nail sharpened up to meticulusly fie point but all I can get is cans and bottle caps I did find a pair of pink panties the other day boy that guy was really mad he ran me completely out of piedmont park. I was tryin to tell the guy i was just looking for my old hash pipe that me and the president use to pass around when the Almond Brothers would come a play for free at the park. Luckily the cops never came. Me and the judge dont fish together anymore. Last time i went fishin with him I was17 years old he told me thr next time I got a DUI he was going to have to thro the book at me. I thought that sounded pretty bad. I took the judge at his word and never got the sixth one. sorry I rambled I must have inhaled


LoL That's funny right there, I don't care who ya are:lol:
