Well UPS showed up a day early for a change! I got the new Compadre today, didn't have much time to play with it, as my wife and I were going out to dinner for our anniversary. One thing I did try though, I have a small piece of lead shot that weighs 2 grains. In air testing, it has a strong signal out to 1.5 to 2 inches in all metal. I know air tests don't mean much compared to in ground tests, but I was impressed that it would hit on something so small even in the air! Hoping to give it's maiden voyage tomorrow at a local park. I think I may have missed alot with my F2. So far I am impressed with the Compadre. Swinging it in my backyard for a few seconds I got some strong signals. I have already been through it with the F2 and I though I had cleaned it out!
