Default My 1st. Compadre hunt (tot lot finds)

My wife said she had to run into town this morning to run some errands , she said that I could go if I wanted she said I thought you might want to try out your detector. Well she didn't have to ask me twice. I done the running around then stopped at a really small kids section at a park (swings,monkey bars,etc.). I was there close to an hour and found $2.66 in clad. I was digging my third hit and noticed a key, grabbed ahold of it and pulled it out of the ground & there were two keys on a key ring and a 925 sterling silver bracelet on the key ring. The Compadre was lots of fun to use & it done real well for me especially for my first hunt with it. Steve.

Well, you are off to a good start. Ready to sell it yet? Oh, that's right, have to go through at least ONE battery. Shucks, it's almost paid for itself already.

After reading tons of great info about the Tesoros, I am sold on them and will be purchasing a Silver uMax over the Ace 250. Not only the warranty and performance but personally, I hate yellow and that belltone makes me think I am working at Royal Farms.
