Hi guys, complete novice here.
I am currently tossing up between a Tesoro compadre and a fisher f2 for a newbie (me with bad hearing who wants to scout mostly parks and local lakes in Canberra, but also go nugget hunting in the snowies (on the very odd occasion, most of my time will be spent in local parks.
I have been quoted a good deal on the f2 and compadre with only $30 difference between the two (f2 being more expensive).
Personally speaking, even tho the readout is only a guesstimate I like the idea of having one, particularly because my hearing is awful (so i Worry about being able to rely solely on a single tone only machine with no readout) and because i am a complete newbie and think the visuals may aid me in learning.
Thanks! Any advice you can give would be appreciated.
