Hello everyone,
I'm just getting into this after wanting a detector for a looong time, but other hobbies kept getting in the way. I'm hoping to combine this with my love of motorcycle riding, kayaking and camping. My first detector is a Tesoro Compadre thanks to reviews here and elsewhere. So far, I barely have tested it in what appears to be a trashy backyard, but found two old aluminum cans in about 10 minutes. They were deeper than I thought the Compadre was capable of locating, so I'm optimistic about this detector. My only concern is that is seems to be "chirping" quite a bit. Hopefully, that is normal and/or my technique will improve or the ground is just that trashy. Anyway, thanks for all the good info that I've already seen on here!
