5.75 concentric came in today and it went on the Tejon. The balance is now where it is slightly lighter on the nose than the Cibola with standard 9x8. Monte and others have praised this beast ... ok ... I am starting to become a believer; but still need more hours. I had about 45 minutes before dark and hit one of the trashiest areas of a nearby school; a small court yard area about 20 x 40 feet. This school is fairly new at about 25 years old. I have hit this area about 4 times over two years with the Cibola and twice in the last year with a CZ6A and 5 inch coil. I tried the Tejon once with the 9x8 and put it away because I couldn't get it to settled well. I have talked to a guy who has covered it with his XLT in the last year and he said it was a lot of work to find anything in the trash. I have pulled about $20 and one wedding band out of this area; nothing much deeper than 5 to 6 inches. Tonight I started the Tejon out with sensitivity at 9 and it sang on every 1/10th inch size piece of foil around. I fooled with discrimination and could not quite get my head around the sounds. With sensitivity between 3 and 4, first discriminator at foil and second trying to make a tab crackle, I started to manage things better.
Total tonight: and unimpressive fist full of foil scraps, 9 tabs, two dimes, one nickel, and 12 pennies. Oldest coin a 1964 penny.
Now the starting to believe part; I only covered about 3 feet by 6 feet in one corner. Three pennies and three square tabs were pretty much on the surface, but every other coin and mostly beaver tail tabs were in the 5 to 8 inch deep range.
