You will find the compadre a great detector . the only reason i sold mine was so i would have the money to get my current golden umax i found my 1st silver coin whith it and an 1898 nickle and it pinponts like a sniper and i have heard you can get inside it and turn the sensitivity up someday i hope to get one back i wish it had a sensitivity knob and a ground balance

Welcome back to detecting.
Compadre is a lot of bang for the buck. Can tell a lot about the target by thumbing the discriminator to see where it starts to fade out.
Not my choice for all outings but I have had a lot of fun every time I have been out with the Compadre.
Enjoy!

Ya done good and welcome back Mac! You will love the little feller and have a ball with it , I promise! Over a bunch of years I have amassed more detectors than I want to admit to and there are some pretty choice ones in the bunch. Even a couple of high dollar ones which I probably coul'da done without, but whenever I hunt and whatever machine(s) I have on hand you can be sure the Compadre is either close by, or sacked up and over my shoulder, for whenever needed in those trashy spots or just for some super lightweight fun with a machine that I know can run with the big boys , and sometimes even out run-em! It is a sweet machine! H H Charlie S.Ms.

I have the Compadre, now a new Vision, and a hand full in between. I have no intention at all of letting my Compadre go. It's affordable, simplistic, light, and well built. Each time I use it, it's kind of fun that such a machine can do as well as it does. I had passed up the Compadre because it didn't look right. Seem like it would be a handicap, but then I read reviews etc. which caught my attention. That's all it took - well now - no regrets.
Oh, it just works and works well. Better than I would have imagined. The simplicity and effectiveness - a fun machine every time - I'll keep it.
