    Question About: 8" Concentric Coil on the Tejon

    Tesoro makes a brown 8" round concentric coil that looks just like the 8" on the Silver uMax. This one is made just for the Lobo ST, Tejon, Vaquero and Cibola Metal Detectors. Anyone here ever try it on these machines? I'm mostly interested in how it works on the Tejon. MB

    Is Discrimination As Great As We Think?

    I'm of the old school having now 42 years experience with metal detectors. There were times when I owned as many as 8 detectors at one time. I threw away a lot money in those days before ebay and the forums. Back then one was lucky to get back 1/3 of what one paid for a new machine even if it...

    Tejon and Nautilus

    I think the best land hunting detector made today is the Tesoro Tejon. But I also have a lot of respect for the Tejon competitor, the Nautilus IIb. I personally think Tesoro makes a better product but that's my opinion. I have a considerable amount of experience with both machines. But I...

    Tejon Deepest For Brass/Copper/Lead/Gold

    There's a place in our yard where someone a long time ago must have burned and buried an old tarp. I found it years ago with my first Tejon. The brass eyelets gave it's location away. The first time I found the spot I dug about a half dozen eyelets at about 10-15 inches deep. The eyelets are a...

    Defective F70's

    I knew this would get your attention :thumbup: I have a chance to buy a F70 that was made last year and was wondering if there were any manufacturing issues with those earlier F70's? I'd heard the F75 had problems in the beginning and so I'm wondering about the F70. Thanks, Badger

    Beware of Forum Reviews - I Had a Really Odd Thing Happen!

    We all like to post pictures of our finds and sometimes show and comment on our detectors---well, be careful! Some of you here know I like to buy detectors. I've bought and sold at least 5 Silver uMax's, 2 or 3 Tejon's, 4 Minelabs, and 3 Nautilus IIB's, etc., etc. in recent times. Sometimes I...

    I Need A Coin Plugger

    A while back I saw someone using a long handled coin plugger and when I asked them where they got it they told me they had in special made. For about the last 5 years I've searched in vain for a supplier of a good coin recovery plugger tool. If they're made right they work great. Anybody know...

    NEW Metal Detector Gets 24 inches On A Quarter?:surprised:

    Anybody know anything more about this new Ultimate Single Frequency prototype machine? There's a video on Google videos. They claim 24 inches on a quarter. I was wondering if it's being sold anywhere yet.

    This will probably be one of my last posts here. As promised I'll show you some of the final pictures of my cleaned 1853. Thanks to Vernon for the info on where to buy and all who helped. MB I'm a lover of original patina. Most people look at my old coins I've dug and say "Why don't you...

    The P1853 IS HERE!!! SWEET SWEET SWEET :thumbup:

    QUESTIONS: How should I preserve the strap? How should I remove the butt plate from the musket to be returned? The screws are stripped and tight! The stock is nearly perfect and the gun cocks and fires the hammer. The strap is very well preserved. It's missing the butt plate so I'm trying...

    P1853 Cleaning Questions

    My rifle will be here Monday and I'd like to at least wipe it down to show relatives coming to stay with us for a week. They'll be here Wednesday so here's what I've got planned. Using burlap pieces I'll wipe her down with mineral spirits. Sound okay to you? I want to leave my gun as old...

    Where Are the other P1853 Muskets? Thought Some Others Were Ordering One This Week? I'd like

I'll post my next P1853 probably Monday (that's when it's due for delivery). After that it's back to TNet mostly (that other forum). Anybody know of a good site covering...

    Hey Vernon! The P1853 Finally Arrived!:clapping:

    As you can see the wood has some issues behind the breach and on the wall side of the stock. The show side of the wood looks pretty good. Too bad about the wood behind the breach. But, that's the way it goes with these. I was thrilled to see all hardware and a nice round straight barrel:clap...

    1st Day Out with the XS - Falsing Problem

    Okay, I love the XS and it's very deep. But I get tons of false signals. I've learned to sort through them and dig the more solid tight signals. But why do I get so many high tone signals that lead to an empty hole? I hunt in Quickstart with sensitivity on 14. I'm using the stock coil and...
