Hello everyone. Have been reading all your posts for sometime now. But just got to be a member so now can actually interact. Live in southeastern Colorado and have been using a Fortune Hunter(Lone Star) up until buying a used Land Star a couple weeks ago or so. To my surprise it was broken! Called and talked to a tech. who told me to send it to them even though it was an old unit. I did so and when I received it back, they had put a new face plate , circuit board, and replaced the coil and did this at no charge! They even paid the shipping back to me! NO ONE COULD ASK FOR A BETTER SERVICE THAN THAT! Haven't had any time with the unit since I received it back, but going on vacation next week to the mountains and taking both units with us. You know I'm new to this forum thing and accidentally posted this same message on Tesoros page. Boy I got some responses! They actually seem like a good bunch of guys. Would even like to try a Compadre out as another unit to add to the hopefully growing arsenal. You know you just cant have enough. At least I try to convince the better half that. LOL. Take care and I hope the gold and silver run thick for you all.
