Hello everyone, I'm from Poland and I'm new to the forum.
For over a week I've read many reviews, opinions and threads about Tesoro Compadre and I really like it and want it to be my first detector.
I'm currently struggling with three options:
1. I can buy a brand new Compadre with 5.75" or 8" coil for $255 in my country, with 6 months "warranty/service" from a Polish distributor
2. I can buy a used, older Compadre with 7" coil from the same distributor who got it used from UK. He wants $200 for it and states it's in good condition (no idea how many hands it changed throughout the years or if it's worn out, but he's a distributor so..)
3. I can order a Compadre 8" on US Amazon for $168 with $50 shipping ($218 total) and get it in 20-30 days
I checked maybe 30 websites offering Compadre and couldn't find another option. I contacted various distributors in US but they are forbidden to ship to EU for some reason (Kellyco etc).
Any ideas what could I do? Worst case I can choose a different detector I guess
Other than compadre there are:
- Bounty hunter treasure 2 for $180
- Coinmaster for $230
- BH Pioneer for $70
- BH Junior for $90
- BH Tracker 2 for $140
- BH Quick silver, Lone Star Pro, Garrett Ace 150, Teknetics Eurotek 8 each for $200-$220
And there is one used Teknetics Delta 4000 for $200 with no battery cover.
