I don't know this detector, George.  How about a little background info?

This is a COMPASS SCANNER line designed circuity by George Payne. Compass added it to our line as it was a remake of the Big Bud Pro. George could only go so far as they (BH) Patent. It a great unit and better suited for low to medium ground conditions.  Compass also made the JR. that was a scaled down version too. Great stuff as George was one great engineer!

Lovely! This was my last compass model. Tri tone, backlight and finally aa batts which we'd wanted for a long time.

I had both the concentric and widescan coils. A noted occurance with the concentric, was the number of on edge coins in our local parks etc.

It was my very favourite compass model, without checking, think it was '91 date.

Very well found,  like to see the controls picture if you would. If see one, I'll buy it!

Thanks.

George, I always wanted this model and that Sunday morning in September on e-by you wanted it a little more than I, plus the shipping was sky-high and that was a factor for me.  I'm still kicking myself that I let it get away as this model is rarer than hen's teeth.  Has it worked out for you as just hearing those sweet Compass tones is worth a lot.  I had several Compasses through the years including the XP Pro, but not the CoinScanner II as is yours.  Should you ever want to part with, let me know and I'll won't let it get away this time.

Wow, another detector I created logos for! The Compass Scanner series may have been the first use of the modified Compass logo I did for them. I simply put their older "needle" inside the "O" of their original "Compass" logo. President Ron Mack thought it was brilliant, I was just trying to be efficient. Below is my original artwork I saved from back then when I first started to develop my idea.  Later I added the "SCANNER" between bars to form the box side decals for the series... XP-PRO Scanner, Coin Scanner, XP-350 Scanner, and the Gold Scanner. The Coin Pro II must have debuted sometime after my involvement, but still carried the side decal. Everything then was done with an X-Acto knife, photostats and waxed to white boards. Thanks guys, it's fun remembering all this.
