Pulled the Compadre & Silver out for a short session in a small area near home. Started with the Compadre and it was real chattery. Thought maybe some interference as I don't recall it being so chattery, but it's been about 7 months since I used it.
So then I tried the Silver to see how it would do, same spot. I noticed it was much more quiet (all metal), but then became chattery when I worked the sens past 10 into the red zone, nearly like how the Compadre acted.
I ran the Compadre from all metal up as far as to tabs and it may have helped a little, it's still seemed unstable, maybe it's just me.
Used the same fresh battery, both had 5.75 coil, coil connection snugged, and coil cable snugly wound onto the shaft, no dirt between coil bottom and coil covers. No nearby power lines or buildings.
It's been awhile, but now that I busted the Compadre & Silver out of the spare room for a run, I'm wondering what others say about the Compadre chatter compared to the Silver.
Could something gone askew with my Compadre? I just don't recall it being as chattery.
Both did pull a few zincs, a couple nickles, couple dimes and a quarter, no silver or wheat's, and as always, tabs etc.
Thanks
