5.75 Coil For The Tejon.........:shrug:

[morelic55]

Ok I know that they are great for trashy places, but which one should I get? The widescan or the concentric? Soil here is sweet. I here the DD is better at seperation, but the concentric is better for depth? I hunt relics in open fields mostly with a few yards in town every once and awhile. I have the Tejon on the way because I just get tired of bouncy TID's on my other machines sometimes. Anyone have any fav settings for the Tejon for lead & brass?

I first got the concentric for the Tejon as the majority of users here reccomend it over the DD .........but I encontered a few sites that rendered it virtually useless due to heavy minerlized soil , so I got the widescan and it now stays on the Tejon 24/7, I find the DD is not as clickie on small iron trash as the conc and depth seems equal to both in most sites with the DD having a big edge when soil conditions get bad so In my mind that makes the Widescan a more versatile coil hence the better choice

I got the concentric for the same reason as trueblue, it has been widely recommended here. In trashy areas where there is so much under the standard coil that I had trouble isolating things with the Tejon, the 5.75 makes a huge improvement. I have not yet hit the issues with the concentric trueblue talks about, but I suspect he has a lot more Tejon time than I do.

The only widescan coil I have is the 12 x 10. With the 12 x 10 pinpointing is not quite as accurate as with the standard 9 x 8 concentric or with the 5.75 concentric. The 12 x 10 widescan pinpoints at either the toe or heal where the two D's come together, would expect the same toe or heal pinpointing with any DD.

I have not tried to set up specifically for lead or brass. That said, running with primary discrimination at just the low side of foil, lead solder droppings and bullet shells of all sizes hit hard with the Tejon. I have one area of my front yard that I had thought I had cleaned with other detectors, the Tejon found lots of solder and a couple shells and they were not little whispers from the Tejon.

I use both...Maybe it is just me but I don't notice much difference in the two. I got the concentric first for my Tejon, and it did a great job in the nails in an area that I had already been over with the stock coil, I was able to pick out more goodies. I got a good deal on a Vaquero with the stock and 5.75 concentric coil. I had another area that had quite a few nails I had hunted previously with the stock coil. I thought this would be a good place to try the small concentric, once again I pulled out a few more old coins and buttons. I use both of the small coils as I have had good success with both.
