The Compadre will do just fine for field searching.... Yeah, it's got a small coil. Yeah, it take a little more time. But boy, is it thorough. I went to hunt a tot lot and our schools have started a program whereby the kids are there till sometimes past 6 pm. :ranting: Well, there's an area about 3 football fields in length on the side of the playgrounds. I know- I know. Why haven't I searched it before. Well, I started out with my Ace and large coil and found myself checking all targets, so I said "dang- I might as well use the Compadre." The signals started coming so fast I couldn't sometimes put the coil on the ground when probing without hitting a signal. Dang this thing loves nickels and dimes. I don't think the ring is real-but it's thin. And a swipe or two with the coil and I had the coins pinpointed.http://www.findmall.com/read.php?17,1650446,1650446#msg-1650446Wed, 19 Jun 2013 11:40:24 -0500 Phorum 5.2.18 http://www.findmall.com/read.php?17,1650446,1651720#msg-1651720 Re: The Compadre will do just fine for field searching....http://www.findmall.com/read.php?17,1650446,1651720#msg-1651720

Looks like you were pretty busy:detecting: Did you ever stand up or just stay on one knee? I'm thinking of using a low mechanics type stool when I get to areas like that with lots of targets, just sweep ahead of the stool while sitting and clean out a small area, then move the stool to the next area. I'm not getting any younger and my knees can only take so many get ups.]]> Hombre Tesoro ForumFri, 02 Mar 2012 20:06:58 -0600 http://www.findmall.com/read.php?17,1650446,1650453#msg-1650453 Re: The Compadre will do just fine for field searching....http://www.findmall.com/read.php?17,1650446,1650453#msg-1650453
