Church of the Compadre...

[KingTotsalot]

My biggest gold ring was found with the Compadre.

KT's only 2 gold rings were recovered using a Compadre....running wide open at a depth of 8"...First one was a 10K ladies recovered in a Totlot in Galveston, TX while learning to use the Compadre. Second one was on a sand volly ball lot, that His Majesty had hunted that same day and go NO signals. So....out came the Compadre and KT got two signals, one near the edge turned out to be a metal toy car, and the other near the net, and it was a small 14K toe ring!

Alas, the last time KT turned on the Royal Compadre, it was dead. KT knows he could send it back to the factory with its lifetime warranty and get it fixed but not going to bother!

Actually you can’t. Tesoro went out of business a few years ago.

DIGGER27 was right about the COMPADRE having a magical quality to it. I bought mine 12 years ago after reading some unsually positive reviews. I use it for lost ring searches in particular. The stars and planets aligned for this particular detector. That doesn't happen very often.

doubt it ever will!..just before Tesoro "croaked' they introduced the "Mojave"
basically a compadre with a ground switch, and a terrific new coil the precision 7" thin concentric coil.i own one, and gotta tell ya,it's just a "crackerjack" combo.
almost impossible to find now, as people hang on to them.ones that pop up for sale are going for "tall money!"

(h.h.!)

Just picked up a Compadre to complement my Bandido 2 µMax, Tejon, and two Deeptechs. Remarkable machine. Just made a few quick passes over Monte's nail board and it smashed it. Better than anything I've owned. That little 6" coil really sniffs out.
