Title: Sick Tesoro compadre Post by: hammersfan on September 01, 2012, 07:08:59 PM Hi had our compadre just under 1 month and love it. All worked well then all of a sudden it stopped finding things at any depth tried the usual tests of burying coins at different depths and the most it could find a coin at in Swansea bay dry sand was a fingers depth.We have only ever used the machine on beaches and never been in the water any ideas what's wrong anyone?

Title: Re: Sick Tesoro compadre Post by: hammersfan on September 01, 2012, 10:51:40 PM Sent off to pentechnics. But just a bit upset as really looked after the machine and bought things like control box covers and carry bags. Worrying now that I have done something wrong. Also due to pick up a whites mxt pro new next week and worrying if
Something happens to that. Title: Re: Sick Tesoro compadre Post by: hammersfan on September 01, 2012, 10:55:31 PM Chef Geoff thanks for your reply but the coil on the compadre is hard wired so unfortunately it has to be a pentechnics job.hope it's back soon as I really miss not going out working the machine each day.
