Yeah, it's got a small coil. Yeah, it take a little more time. But boy, is it thorough. I went to hunt a tot lot and our schools have started a program whereby the kids are there till sometimes past 6 pm.
Well, there's an area about 3 football fields in length on the side of the playgrounds. I know- I know. Why haven't I searched it before. Well, I started out with my Ace and large coil and found myself checking all targets, so I said "dang- I might as well use the Compadre." The signals started coming so fast I couldn't sometimes put the coil on the ground when probing without hitting a signal. Dang this thing loves nickels and dimes. I don't think the ring is real-but it's thin. And a swipe or two with the coil and I had the coins pinpointed.
