On my second day of hunting with the Compadre, I met a fellow hunter at an old park.
Surprisingly, I wasn’t finding very many pull tabs there so I decided to try the Compadre at the spot in the park that has produced 10 silvers and which I know is heavily iron laden. First target was a small piece of old, unidentifiable brass. I was impressed because I’ve covered this spot from every direction and about 100 times with Maurice (my XP Deus detector). Next target was a big and loud signal. Again, I’ve removed all signals from this spot except for the iron so I was one more time surprised. After a minute or two of digging I produced this from the hole:
This little shield pin is about one inch tall by 1/2 inch wide. It is (was) gold plated. The back has no writing of any kind but the gold plating is more obvious there. It looks to be old, I would say pre-1940’s. The pin on the back is missing but the welding is plainly visible.
Not much to talk about other than I found it with the Mighty Compadre at a spot that I thought Maurice and I had thoroughly cleaned. I must say however that this spot continues to produce targets and probably will continue to produce targets in the future.
One last thing; I am using the iPhone ear plugs since the Compadre only has one beep at one volume and fancy headphones are not required. I had forgotten what a royal pain in the behind wires are! I am now in the process of researching some kind of wireless solution for my Compadre. I can’t go back to wires. Don’t ask me.
Thank you for looking!
The Dirt Is Good To Me 
Sorry buddy, less is always less. See if you can find you a used pair of the TDK WR700. It’s what I use with my ATP. http://www.tdkperformance.com/en-eu/Headphones/WR700-Wireless-Headphones/WR700/#.U63SvzhOW71
I like to call it Subjective and Relative Quantification in Metal Detecting but most of the time I call it swinging the Compadre. LOL! Thanks for the link, I am ordering a pair ASAP.
