Compass Au 52 question

[beau61]

Has anyone ever used one on a regular basis? Used in gold country?, beaches? Thanks

Rare detector. Must do well they don't last long when one is put up for sale.

Old, pretty much unfixable, especially if it's the coil that goes bad. Sent mine to the famous Texas detector doctor and three months and $100 later I got it back still broke.

Spend your money more wisely than I did.

Just picked one up and it is in working condition,coil works. Just wanting to find out if there is anyone who used the Au 52 when it came out on a regular basis and has the knowledge of its capabilities.

The AU 52 is very Rare as we know. I own 2 of them. As mentioned, trying to find
an AU 52 in working order is next to impossible, let alone a working coil. You cannot
get schematics for Compass detectors as they are obsolete but I'm sure there are
some that got copies before the Big Compass fire!!! Saw this old post brought back
to life and had to throw my 2 cents in. Goood luck searchiing...

I gave the detector away years ago.
