I looked for a used one for a while like this but they are hard to find. A guy here in town got a Compadre for Christmas from one of his kids and needed some money so the price brand new was excellent. My babygirl asked for one right before Christmas and I have learned to be patient. She is tickled and has gathered up one of my diggers and a pouch getting ready for her inaugural hunt with her own detector. If it gets out of the mid 30's today we will go!
