I asked this on another forum, and I figured I would ask here also.
Can anyone see a difference between the 5.75 and the 7 inch coil?
Can't decide on which one to get!


Thankk fellers
 
You will not notice a difference except the 7" coil covers a slightly larger area with each sweep.

Otherwsie, they are the same.

Of course, the 7" is no longer in production, so you will have to find a used one.
 
:cool: My Compadre with 7 inch coil will air test about an inch deeper than the 5.75 inch coil. This doesn't imply that it will do the same in the ground because the depth on the 5.75 inch coil is really good in moderate grounds. They are both great. :beers:
 
After hunting with the 7 inch coil I could never go back to a smaller one on my Compadre.
I believe in my heart of hearts that I get an extra inch, at least, although to be honest I never used a compadre with the smaller coil.
I can say that it sure "feels" like I am covering a big area more efficiently with the larger coil.
If you can find a 7 inch compadre...buy it...then talk to Skiwhiz about how easy it is to turn tbe sense up if you are into that.
Mine is turned way up and I have no problem hitting coin size objects at 7" and deeper in my good soil.
 
I have a demo model Compadre with a 7 inch coil.. Having used the 5. 75 inch coil on a Silver, and a Vaquero, I can say they work well, but are TOO DARN slow..I also had a 4 inch hockey puck coil..Darn near fell asleep.. If your sites are trash bins, the smaller coils are for you..At one of my yards that I hit with the Vaquero and stock coil, I am going back with the Compadre to see what I missed,,,,Usually the other way around..
 
IMO both coils are good performers, However, I hunt a high percentage of the time with the 7" concentric on my other machines. To me the 7" seems to be a very good comprimise between coverage, depth and swing weight.

the user doesn't get carried away with too much Discrimination or ignoring too many 'iffy' responses. The good thing about the Compadre, and most Tesoro's, is that they aren't influenced by a lot of visual Discrimination info and they simply Dig-the-Beep!

If your arm is bad I can only image what shape you ears are in after listening to that squawking yellow thing all this time :poke::throw::rofl:
 
I am forever hearing how good the Compadre is so I am going to give one a try.
It is very long time since I used an machine such as the Compadre, so should be interesting.
 
The Compadre is a sweet little machine.Mine has the 5.75 coil and gets decent enough depth for my use,it's already recovered targets down to near the 6 inch level and some even abit more.
 
I keep a Compadre in my work van for lunch time breaks. Lots of fun to use this machine.
 
The Compadre is one of those tools that's nice to have even when you have others with more bells and whistles. Just plain simple and fun to use and surprisingly effective.
