Joining the Church again (Church of the Compadre)

[SkiWhiz]

Church of the Compadre that is. I recently sold my detector so I could buy a larger chainsaw. My wife had some tuck money that I didn't know about, she knows how much I love detecting and told me I could have what she had, with the bit of money that I have and with hers I could find something for alittle less that $150.00 I put a max bid on eBay of $131.99 on a Tesoro Compadre with the 7" coil and won the bid. I would of liked it if I could of got it for alittle less than my max bid but oh well the 7" Compadre's are scarce.

It seems to look good but I get nervous buying anything from a state that has salt water and salt in the air, salt can get into the internals if not kept clean and corrode things.

People who own and like their Compadre have a much higher I.Q. than those that don't. Welcome to the club.

Hey Skiwhiz,
What is the advantage of the larger 7" coil ?
I thought they went with a 5" coil so it didn't false as much in trashy areas?
Also it's not like you can switch coils on it. It doesn't have a manual ground balance. Unless there is a way to open it up and adjust the pots.

I think that people that own & use Tesoro's are smarter in general
