GOT MY TEJON I MUST SAY

[lusitania]

When ups arrived with the box I thought a Metal Detector and 3 coils in that small box.I have only used a MXT and it is big next to the tejon. I put it together small but very well made. the coils are thin not like White's. went on-line and looked at the manual again and did the air test great Responds. I am glad I traded a mxt 300 for this Detector I think I have the Ground Balance down but the duel disc's will take a little time.

Tesoro Tejon

you will enjoy that dual disc.......

What is the purpose of a dual disc?

Put the first discrim on the "O" in FOIL and the dual discrim just past nickle. Any repeatable clean signal dig it! Ground balance is the key to the Tejon. I run mine a little positive. The iron will always "pop" and some bigger deep iron will sneak through until you break some ground. I run silent, no threshold, but that is not for everyone. The Tejon is a great machine, light weight, deep, and it will find the relics. Enjoy!

There is one thing you must buy when you get a tejon,,,,,A new digger with a looooooooong handle!!!!!!

What is the purpose of a dual disc?

Allows breaking up the ID of conductivity ranges into three segments:
1) those that fall below the setting of the first discriminator.
2) those that fall between the first and second discriminator settings.
3) those above the second discriminator setting.

Coin shooting, I'm close to Wesley's settings of "Put the first discrim on the "O" in FOIL and the dual discrim just past nickle" except I'll go a little higher with the second discriminator to start making a snappy, crackle sound on the most prevalent modern soda / beer can pop top type of tab.

If I'm just digging between the discriminators looking for gold, I'll go just to the end of the lettering on iron for the first discriminator. For the second, I'll get a complete old style beaver tail pull tab with the tail wrapped around the ring and an old aluminum screw cap like the ones that came on the later glass soda bottles. Set the second discriminator so the detector hits cleanly on the screw cap but cleanly discriminates out the beaver tail tab. Dig pretty much everything between the two discriminators. Can still miss very thin chains set like this, but if there is any size to the clasp, you will get it. May also miss a few of the largest men's class rings that may be around that screw cap. If you want all the chains you need to turn the first discriminator down to it's lowest setting and dig the small iron too.

If you don't want to miss anything good, you have got to dig it all and that will include lots of trash. You can set the discriminators to help you do your own trade offs on what to dig and not dig.
