First Hunt With My New Metal Detector - Tesoro Compadre ("PRO")

- This is my first hunt with the Tesoro Compadre "Pro".
Yes, I bought another metal detector. You may ask: "why"? Because I like metal detectors and I'm curious how some of them perform.
I have chosen a modified "Pro" version with an additional volume control knob, because taping the speaker is not an option (anymore) and this thing is loud! The Pro version has also a 5-pin connector for interchangeable coils.
How did it perform? I have chosen the worst location I have right now. An abandoned vineyard with bad soil, trash, iron and lots of coke. When I checked this spot with the Deus and the 9" HF coil, it was a very frustrating experience...
The Compadre had no problems and was very easy to use. I could connect with this machine right from the start. It was not only fun to use, but also very effective. Iron and good targets in the same hole - no problem!
I exchanged the stem and used the one from the XP Deus, because it is more ergonomic. The 7" Compadre coil weights around 14.1 oz (400g), which doesn't feel light for the size. The lower rod parts from the original Tesoro stem are too heavy in my opinion. This influences the experience in a negative way. Metal detecting should always be fun, that's why I tried to improve it. I used tape, but I already found a much better solution (which I will show you in my next video).
Thanks for watching.

If you need a good build, solid, stable and quiet metal detector with excellent performance in iron, a Tesoro Compadre might be something you should consider. A good metal detector doesn't have to be expensive. I bought this unit for special occasions, where a small coil and good discrimination is crucial.
A while ago a viewer recommended this machine to me, but back then I considered a single tone detector (without iron tone) as "unacceptable". Two years later I changed my mind and I don't regret it. Of course it's a completely different experience, when the iron tone is not present, but it can be fun. It also is a small, welcome change.
I bought the "pro" version, because of its additional volume control knob (which should be there in the first place).
I forgot to mention: The Pro version has also a 5-pin connector for interchangeable coils.
After this hunt I opened the housing and (slightly) cranked up the internal sensitivity knob. This increased the "depth" (in the air) for another inch without any compromises.
Thanks for watching.
Tesoro forever....I have the Tesoro lobo for years........amazing machine
MetalDetecting24 how you get metal detectors
👍🍀
@nwagate7 - I saw some videos about the Lobo and really liked the pleasant sound.
@Anna - I have to buy them.
It is always interesting when using a different detector. We enjoyed the video. Thanks again. stay safe.
Thank you. It was very exciting for me to use something else. Have a great day.
I have the Tesoro Compadre also, but not the Pro version. Excellent machine. I carry it with me everywhere in my car. I bought it on Craigslist for $60. It was used one time by the guy to try and find his Septic Tank.
Wow, $60 that's a great deal.
What I forgot to mention is, the Pro version has also a 5-pin connector for interchangeable coils. Maybe one day I will add the smaller 5.75" coil to my collection. Have a great day.
May god bless u,happy hunting....
Thank you. I wish you a great day.
Great hunt for the first time out with a new machine.
Thank you. I connected straight away with the Compadre. It was a lot of fun. Cheers.
Nice machine .good hunt. Thank you
very nice video, great...keep going...!
Thank you, Cheers.
Good video, my first MD was a Tesoro Cibola, I see you from Italy bye .
Thank you & greetings to Italy.
Hallo MD24. Schöne analoge Folge mit dem Compadre. Das gefällt mir wieder richtig gut 😀 Tolle Funde, schöne Runde. Freue mich ychon darauf den Italiener öfters zu sehen. Gut Fund fürs nächste Mal, LG
Vielen Dank, freut mich, dass es Dir gefallen hat (auch wenn kein Deus im Einsatz war). Beste Grüße.
P.S. Es ist übrigens ein Amerikaner aus Arizona :).
Ein Einfahrer erster Güte von mir. Was sollen die Leute denken? 😕 Das der Deus nicht im Einsatz war macht gar nix. Immer nur Schnitzl ist auch fad 😂 LG
In 10 Jahren ist das vergessen :).
I like Tesoro Detectors very much. They work as good as a switzer pocket knife.
Tesoro made some great metal detectors. Too bad they went out of business. The Compadre (I own one) hit way above its weight class and is known for being really good at finding gold.
New Subscriber. Great videos. New to the hobby. Great inspiration.
Thank you very much. I wish you good luck and many great finds.
Tesoro rocks, i have 4 Tesoro Lobo Super Traq detectors with different coils and my other VID detectors are just collecting dust in my basement.
I have seen some Tesoro Lobo videos and always found it very interesting (especially the pleasant audio). Unfortunately the last time I checked, the price was over 850 Euro. It was too expensive to buy it, just to "try it out" (and maybe not use it). The lack of iron tone was probably the main reason, why I hesitated. Maybe some day...
Peter Van Den Bosch
indeed man ,
they are the only detectors i still have .
a silver and a vaquero..
and they are not going anywhere
With that terrain you would almost have to be a mountain goat lol best of luck to you
Thank you. that's true, the terrain can be challenging. Have a nice day.
That is badass
It is :).
Great movie, I see that Tesoro was able to dig something out. Try the Cscope 1220xd detector, an old good type non motion detector. There is a possibility of tuning your tesoro for ground balance, You just need to be able to solder electronics and earn 1 knob
Thank you. I think, the Compadre did great at this difficult location. I will think about a ground balance knob. It would be nice if I could try every detector, unfortunately that's not possible. But I will at least try to find some info about the Cscope. The "Compass Coin Scanner Pro" looks very interesting too. Have a nice day.
Good day !!! As analogue Tesoro fan in past, i recommend you to buy bulgarian Tracian )) After 5 years of Tesoros (Silver, Cibola) i buy that thing and was completely amazed. It has 2 powerful things - volume control and 2 TONES (low for metal, hight for copper/bronze/silver etc). Much deeper, brilliant separation, greater power bank. Think and read about it ! In addition it is cheap machine.
Hi Panzer Faust, witch Tracian metal detector you use? Thanks...:)
It is one model in raw )) Tracian manual ground (mine is 18 kHz) - thrace-detectors.com/product/283/thracian-manual-ground-8-13-15-or-18-khz.html
But you can buy more expensive but more advanced Golden Mask, from same bulgarians (i was low of money for that) - thrace-detectors.com/product/240/golden-mask-4-wd-8-18khz-light.html
Thank you very much for the info. Cheers...:)
@Panzer Faust - Thanks for the suggestion. I already have a GM4 WD, but I haven't used it for quite a while (maybe in the future). Have a nice day.
You have GM4 WD ?!!!!!!!!!!!!! And you use Compadre ?!!!!!!!!! Mask can be Compadre - just pull the trigger on AUDIO position and roll Ground Balance to HR zone )))))
superb video
superb detector..
Den hatte ich auch mal , super detektor für das Geld macht Spaß 🙂👍
Like it. Try on river or beach pls.
Ja, macht wirklich sehr viel Spaß. Leider wegen der Spulengröße, Tiefe und (aus meiner Sicht) des fehlenden Eisentons, nur für Plätze mit "dicht nebeneinanderliegenden" Funden geeignet. Dafür habe ich es aber auch gekauft. Beste Grüße.
WW2 dog tag - if you wash it, maybe we can find out, in what troop and regiment was this soldier. Note that tag is half-sided - soldier was dead. Half was lost by his komrades or this half is from burial (maybe dug out in the past)
Thanks, I will take a second look at it, but when I found it, I had the impression that it was blank...
Maybe letters isnt good pressed, i saw that. Blanked erkennungsmarke always both-sided (i dug out some here in Russia). But maybe after-war kids broke it...
Einen Tesoro auf einem XP Gestänge habe ich noch nie gesehen! Bin gespannt, wie sich der Detektor macht!
Das XP Gestänge ist wirklich ergonomisch. Die unteren Teile des Tesoro Gestänges kamen mir relativ schwer vor. Die Spule ist mit ihren 400g auch nicht ohne, was in Kombination (zusammen mit unteren Teilen) schon einen Unterschied ausmacht. Mit einer kleineren 5,75" Spule wäre das Erlebnis bestimmt noch besser.
Es ist auf jeden Fall eine super Idee!
Hello buddy how did you modified the xp stem to put it on the tesoro? Did you modded the disc screw or anything else or it’s just a bolt on for the disq ?
Super
Danke schön.
Where is your discrimination set?
It's within the "iron" range. I think, slightly below (I can't look it up right now).
Have a great day.
Excellent video!! and Congrats on the new detector! I am so used to seeing the Deus coil swinging in frame, but that's ok...I will get used to it :) I am very impressed how you learned/"caught on" with the new detector so fast. Even I (by hearing the sounds) could tell if it was worth looking into or just pass it. It seems I picked up on that fast...and I wasn't even there :) I think it really forces you to "hear" the sounds and not rely on VDI numbers. This is a good thing I suspect.
I am also thinking using the good old fashion potentiometer vs segment blocking is better. With potentiometer you can really fine tune a cut-off point compared to letting a program/pre-set blocking to do it.
The new machine did very well for you. It seemed very easy to get the hang of it. I am impressed :)
Thanks again for all the hard work you do to put these videos out for us to enjoy. I appreciate it! Always look forward to your next one!
Thanks again, hope all is well your way. Some really nice finds this time BTW.
Take care, and Happy Hunting to you on your next!
John
Hello John, thank you very much. I'm glad you could connect with the Compadre during the video. I had a small advantage (I forgot to mention). I bought a Tesoro Mojave when it came out, but I made only 2-3 very short hunts with this unit (the lack of volume control drove me crazy). It is similar to the Compadre, but it had a concentric coil.
It took me one hunt to figure out, that a relatively slow and narrow coil sweep speed (at low discrimination level) is only causing trouble (iron chirps in the audio sound like "something good, that wants to get out").
Maybe it was the nature of the DD coil, but when I tried the Compadre for the first time in this video, I used a different approach - a relatively fast, confident sweep speed which seemed to work straight away. It was great fun too - that's all that counts.
I went on a walk yesterday and accidentally discovered a short, abandoned, but very trashy path. This could be a case for the Compadre in the near future...
Have a great day and Happy Hunting!
What pole set is that? Is that what you're came with? I like that design. Hoping I can buy one
........ANCH'IO DOMANI MATTINA DEVO INOLTRARMI IN UNA FORESTA CUPA ,SPERIAMO BENE CHE I RUMORI VERANNO SOO DAGLI ALBERI COME CAPITQTO A TE ,CIAO SEI UN GRANDE NEI VIDEO CHE FAI TI STIMO MOLTO PER LA PREPARAZIONE CHE USI NEL FARE LE COSE ,COMPLIMENTI A TE,CIAO E BUONA CACCIA A TUTTI
I think your very fast you were making me dizzy trying to keep up if you could slow down it would be a lot more interesting for us and
When your digging we can't see what ya doing
The sweep speed has to be (relatively) fast, because that's the only way to "break up" the signal (at low discrimination level) on iron targets. This also is my hunting style (the camera is only there to capture the detecting, it can't influence what's in front of it).
As for the digging part - the terrain is very steep, it is very uncomfortable to stand. That's why it is (sometimes) impossible to get everything in frame. I apologized for it during the video. I could cut certain scenes out, but I decided not to in hope, people will understand, considering the circumstances. Thanks for the comment. Have a nice day.
nice!
Thanks ;).
hast recht, warn echt doofer kommentar ;o)) aber gefallen hats mir trotzdem!!! :o)
Nein, es war OK. Freut mich, wenn es Dir wirklich gefallen hat. Viele Grüße.
Super !, das ist wie mine detector, sehr schöne videos mine freund, dine badr von marokko
Kind Sir,Could you tell me what would a 10 mark be in a US translation ? I'm failing at trying to find out on my own..That new detector seem's to be working out quite well for you,it's a nice buy seem's like..Have you shown how you clean your find's, if so I haven't seen that one,could you send the link please..Thank You so much for your time and happy hunting to you..
Cynthia Herr I would try numismedia.com for your mark. They have all kinds of information.
As for cleaning there are a couple of very awesome links. It pains me to see detector hunters clean copper in the field with water. Check them out.
On YT.
@Cynthia - Hello, thank you for the comment. I haven't done any videos how to clean coins, because I'm not sure about the best method (I'm still in the learning process). I tried many, many different techniques and tips (from regular people to "experts"), but so far I haven't found anything, I could fully recommend. So I think it is better not to make a video and not to add another wrong advice to already many others on CZcams.
About the 10 mark, maybe it would be better to give you two links:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deutsche_Mark
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_(currency)
Thanks for watching & have a great day.
@Susan - Hello, could you please elaborate on the concerns regarding copper and water? Thanks.
Witch machine do you like the best you rock the other one
Is is very hard to say, which machine would take advantage over the other ones, because at the end of the day, they all perform more or less equal (in many situations).
I'm using XP Deus the most, because it is very light, sensitive to small/thin targets and it fits my (fast) hunting style. Am I 100% happy with it? Sometimes, but not so much lately (for example), so it changes constantly.
At this particular location I had much less "stress" with the Compadre (I was using the new 9" HF coil on the Deus before. The coil was "too wide", it also picked up every bit of coke - in 2-Tone mode). I think, it all comes down to personal preferences.
What kind of "coke" is where you are hunting??
I can't say anything about the kind. I didn't knew, different types existed... This one is very light and black. It was not that difficult to avoid it with the Tesoro, like it was with the Deus (in 2-Tone mode - it actually was impossible).
how you buy the metal detector?
hatte auch mal tesoro.hatte de tiefgang vom mel brooks filmen
Für Einsatzzwecke wie auf dem Video ist die Tiefe nicht so wichtig.
No VDI ready out just sound on this machine
That's right, no VDI which is the best thing (in my opinion).
Das Plumbum es sieht aus also gebogen Munz,ist alte Bierplombe.
Danke für die Info.
how long have you been doing it? :)
You mean metal detecting? Something around 4 years (I believe).
Does duct tape over the mouth actually increase finds?
