Best Dedicated Relic Hunting machine

What, in your opinion is the best dedicated relic hunting machine? Light as possible, no bells and whistles, except great depth 9-10" on a minnie ball, 12-14" on a plate. Manual ground balancing, adjustable all-time capable threshold, good tonal seperation (can be one tone, but has enough info in sound to be able to distinguish between common trash and good signals). Has a couple of different coils, including DD coils that make it easier to seperate trash/iron from good targets. Also, has true all metal capability. I want a machine that I can use just my ears to do my discrimination with. In my experience discrimination just robs the machine of depth. I have a couple of ideas of what might fit this, but I really need some input.
 
The Tejon is very light.

The Tejon has a true ED 180 discriminator.

Manual GB works on disc & all metal modes.

Adjustable all-time capable threshold.

Single tone that is adjustable for the user's preference.

Tesoroes are known for their tonal quality.

Has a great selection of DD and concentric coils.

Tejon has two discriminators controlled by trigger.

Expect to dig. It's a MD on steroids. Goes Deep.

HH,
 
I loved my old Troy Shadow X2. Featherlight, simple, no meter, no bells n' whistles, just a no-nonsense, deep-punchin' relic machine!

Took it to some hunted out parks I had been hunting for nearly 20 years, and managed to pull up some 10+ inch deep 1880s coins like Indian cents and V-nickels, plus a small eagle button from the Indian War period.

The Tejon was a good machine in the hands of one of my buddies. When he fell on hard times, he sold it to me, but I resold it without trying it out. At the time, it was a fourth detector for me and I didn't need another machine. Now I kinda wish I had kept it and learned to use it.

PS- it really does sound like the Tejon is the best fit, from what you're describing.
 
Yeah, I'm getting real close to selling off the MXT I have and going back to Tesoro. I think the only thing I'll miss is the depth indication. It wasn't right about 30-40% of the time, but it gave me a better idea if it was trash or a possibly good target. When I was using the Cibola last year I was getting good at telling if it was a good target or trash by the sound.
