Default newbie
been reading the forum for a coupla days and decided to join
havn't gotten a md yet just having trouble deciding between a Tesoro Compadre, Tesoro Silver UMax, or a Fisher F2.
haven't had a chance to put my hands on any of them yet maybe this week if i can catch the local shop open, if not the one question i have is-is the F2 with the three coil package really a better deal for a newb versus one of the Tesoros?
have done some mding before with an el cheapo no name unit years ago and got my oldest daughter a gold digger for christmas and decided i needed one to join her with.
thanks for what i've already learned and thanks in advance for any help in the future
