My soil has a lot of FE3O4 and I think that is why the Tejon is not as good as the V where I use it. I have a 10 turn GB pot on my V and I have no trouble balancing it, I could balance it with the 3 3/4 GB but it was "touchy" and more difficult to get right on. I have never run out of "range" on the GB on my V.

deepest tesoro

I've owned most of them over the years and to me the Tejon is the deepest and smoothest all purpose detector made today. It's so deep it still shocks me at times.
I've compared it to the Nautilus IIB, Fisher F-70 with DD coil, Explorers XS, II, and SE, Sovereign GT, and several others and the Tejon is the deepest and best all-round coin/relic detector.
I bought my 1st Tejon when they first came out and later sold it because so many told me the Nautilus IIB was deeper.
A few months later I sold the Naughty and bought another Tejon.
A year later I sold the Tejon because the forums were all bragging up the Explorers. I hated the Explorer II and went to an older Explorer XS which was much better but not my old Tejon. I sold the XS and bought the SE which I was assured was the absolute best detector (big mistake).
The SE went and last year I bought a Fisher F-70 and the F-75 DD coil because everyone told me it was the best machine ever made. A good dealer told me it was vastly superior to the Tejon. By this time I was to the point where I wanted to forget it all and just go back to the Tejon.
But the dealer was so convincing I finally gave in and spent like $800 for the Fisher F-70 with the F-75 DD Coil.
I had the F-70 for 3 weeks and traded it to another dealer for a new Tejon (lost over $200).
Now everyone is shouting T2 and Bounty Hunter. Good for them but I stay with the Tejon.
In light of the rage over the T2 I made my handle here Tfor2 which really stands for a Tesoro for me and the wife.
Right now I'm trying to find my old friend from years gone by. That would be the original Tesoro Silver Sabre. Maybe the wife will use it some but I want it to recall the good old days.
Sorry to ramble on.

In my moderate soil the Tejon performs great and is deep. I've never used a Tesoro I didn't enjoy, but of the four I've owned the Tejon is definitely the best performer.
But there have been numerous posts in the past where dirt fishers in areas with bad ground have echoed what AUDuke is saying.
