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?

Sorry to hear your having problems, I think you have either got to get it looked at by Pentechnics or find someone who also has a tesoro (5 pin) coil you can try, that way you can narrow it down to either the control unit or coil Wink

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.

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.
