Default Tesero Compadre I'ts all true!

Hello all!

I've been reading all these post about how the tesoro compadre
hits on small gold,well after today I'm a believer!

Hit the jersey shore this morning and this is what I found..
It was about 4" or down in dry sand.
Very small not much weight to it,but it's 14kt.. Gold!!

I don't think my whites dfx would have hit this..

Default Gold!

well for a 151.00 I had to have one..
I'm thinking it was a lucky find,MD for about 4 hours and got this at the very end of my day.
I'm very impressed with the compadre. Now if I can just fig. out how to set up my DFX I will be a happy camper..
I just wished I did some more research on detectors before I plunked down a grand on the DFX.
The compadre is a lot of BANG for the buck..

Regards al

I totally agree about the Tesoro. My Eldorado just picked off a small gold I haven't even posted yet. Keep up the good work.

No no mods just out of the box and BEEP BEEP! haha!!

the 250 is a nice machine also very easy to use. My friend up in PA bought
one .We hunted a park up in bucks county and low and behold he plucked a very small gold ring out of the turf.

I scored my first gold with a compadre, as well. Great machine for the price... or at any price, really..............
Grats on the gold!
