Golden

How does the Golden compare to the Tejon in depth? I know the Tejon will a bit deeper but how deep does the Golden get in medium ground? I have the Tejon but the tones on the golden intrigue me.

I have 0 time on the tejon, but many hours on the golden. I think the golden would compliment the tejon as they are not really built to perform the same function. Will the golden find relics? Yes, but not at tejon depths. Will the tejon find coins in trashy parks, yes but the "noise" may drive you crazy. My opinion on the tejon is based on others experiences...hopefully someone will post some first hand experience for you. BTW, if you do get the golden find a 5.75" coil or even a 4" hockey puck for trashy areas. Then you can hit quiet areas with the tejon and sneak between the trash with the golden... My thoughts and I hope someone with time on both machines will post something up for you.

The Golden's tones, notch and wide ED-120 DISC are its shining graces. Outside of those, it is just a uMax format detector.

Depth compared to a Tejon? Less.

But Tesoro has broken the midrange into two regions: Foil to middle pulltab.... middle tab to Zinc cent. Couple that with the notch, and you can do amazing things to ID midrange targets. I've hunted one place in particular, a place infested with tabs and small lightbulb bases, essentially bracketing nickles with a trash cordon. With the Golden, it's stock coil and a little practice, I could tell the difference between the three. No other detector I've owned could do that.
Now, the Golden is no slouch in depth, mind you, but it aint the deepest. But then, it doesn't have to be... there are other detectors to make that claim.

No, I think of it more as an all purpose/specialists tool, one that can help you deal with real trash issues, about whereever you go. Yeah, man, it's the ticket.
