Tesoro Compadre - How a Broken Ring Impacts Depth '53Silver

Interesting test with a broken ring. Once I completed the ring by holding the two ends together, the depth increased from 3.5 inches to 7 inches. I did this test with an MXT and an earring about a year ago, but the results where no where near as great because the MXT could only detect the earring at 2 inches.

Thats one thing I really like about this hobby, I feel I'm always finding something new or different.

Just got my Compadre , Exellent Video always great to learn new things great video .

Had Compadre out for a walk today i find that it picks u newer coins dimes 5 cent piecess and pennies very well but the ground In the tot lot and a the baseball field is still frozen in areas and is very sandy and wet and lots of pee gravel around the ball field so not a lot of depth . Its great to know about the ring . Im not one for the air tests but with the Compadre I believe from what I have heard and seen it is a must if not to just learn the sounds of the Compadre .thx Again

I really like my 5.75" Compadre - a lot! If the 8" coil version performs as well, with added depth, it's a winner. I'll probably pick one up this summer.

@Bhaalian After I tweaked my Compadre, it will hit a dimeat 6". Out of the box it will go to 5". That may not sound like much, but remember, 90 - 95% of good targets are within 5" in most areas. This detector is sharp, accurate, and deep enough to get you excellent results. My oldest coin to date is a 1786 NJ Copper. It was only about 4" down. Well within the reach of a Compadre.

Great air test thx!

[@MrJayperz]

This is some good info.... thanks man....one

[@SandyzSerious]

Very interesting. Thank you.

[@Tonygreens1]

Oh okay thank you so much!

[@mjcz5853]

Well, somewhat. The "DD" coil is less effected from highly minerialized soil then a concentric. The best way to negate the effect of high mernerialized soil is to get a detector, like a Vaquero, that allows you to ground balance.

Nice video. You can do a search on youtube for the videos of Norfolk Wolf, he included recovery tests at the end of most of his reviews of metal detector.

[@numisaccent6723]

This actually happens with a lot of detectors, however if you went with a different coil it would pick up at greater depth because concentric coils works better on close loop objects better than broken objects like rings and pull tabs andYou have a concentric coil.

[@Bhaalian]

Nice vid, was thinking of a compadre as my first detector but unsure what depths it can detect at, or maybe a cibola, can't find any good depth tests in actual soil for it, I seen u can get the cibola to over twelve inches with super tuning it just wondered how the compadre would perform in deep depths hh :))

[@mjcz5853]

@NJDartman - Good question. The results are the same in Disc mode or All Metal.

[@MustangFastback]

Very informative, Mike. Hey, are you going to get a 8 inch Compadre? HH

[@POOHBEAR2170]

interesting !

[@Tonygreens1]

Is it from the coil though? do coils make it hard to go in high mineralized soil if it is can we change it?

[@IIH1TMANHD]

interesting vid mate I'm considering this machine with 5.75 coil what's it like on depth with coins and jewellery will it do 6 inches? Thanks

[@Tonygreens1]

im thinking about getting this one the price is great i was wondering is it good for any kind of area like dry dirt parks sand

[@mjcz5853]

I find it great in most if not all soil conditions. The only thing you need to watch is hunting in high mineralized soil. You'll loose some depth.

Bought the 8 inch coil, better depth
