The Tesoro Compadre Brings Home The Gold :tesoro::usaflag:

[tabman]

I decided to take my Tesoro Compadre out for a little while this morning after reading some of the other recent posts about the amazing Compadre. It has been leaning up against the wall for sometime now and not getting any attention. Looking back, I remember how many small chains it had found for me when I first started using it. I haven't found a small chain since I stopped using the Compadre. Well I didn't find a chain with it today, but I did find a large 18K Gold wedding band. I set the discrimination just slightly below 'f' in 'foil'. My plan was to dig no less than 50 repeatable targets at that setting. I started digging a bunch of foil sports drink caps so I moved the dial up to dead on 'f' to discriminate them out. I meandered about the soccer field for a long period of time without getting a beep or sound. It was a peaceful silence on a gorgeous morning.

I finally found a couple of pieces of can slaw, a 6 inch deep nickel, a couple of pull tabs and a really corroded zinc penny.

Then it happened. I got a unmistakable beep that told me that I found something good.

Here are some pictures of my find and some other gold rings that Tesoro detectors have found for me this year.

One of the best gold jewelry hunters out there.

And many still refuse to believe it.

Oh well...

Don't you just love digging them rings out of the ground, can't beat them little Compadre's.

You tape the pro-pointer speaker as well eh, yeah, it's too loud. I should use coloured tape too so I can find it if I ever loose it.

Congrats! Nice looking ring. I'm still seaching for my first 18K ring.

I just noticed that I typed 18K. I should have typed 14K. I must have looked at it wrong. I'm not throwing it back. It's still a keeper.

Fantastic find...gold is always my goal on every hunt.
I have been messing around with the F2 and the sniper for a couple of months so I haven't used the Compadre for awhile, either, but I took it out at a park where I was waiting to meet a friend and within 2 minutes found a small silver chain around the n in iron.

Time to move the "C" back into the lineup for me too, I guess.

A big congrats on the AU!
