I heard it sucks. I love my Tejon, but it has it's limitations. Never tried it on a beach cuz i'm told it can't handle it.

up on the dry sand no problem, but go close to water forget about it ! need a P.I. detector for the wet sand.

I actually do better with concentric coils on the wet salt at the beaches I've tried it at.

More directly related discussion is in the thread down a little titled "almost traded tejon with extra coil and lower shaft"

Over the wet salt beaches, depth with the Tejon is about half of what it is over mild dirt or the non-mineralized dry sand and you need to work on the set up. It can find some treasures but if you are going to hunt wet salt sand a lot, go a different way.

Got to trade off where you will hunt most with what detector to use. Over the past few years, I have continued to add to the detector arsenal and have not subtracted. I have some over lap in where they hunt well, but not enough to be able to say that I am not using one of the detectors at all.

But does not work well on saltwater beaches....recommend a CZ-Sov or PI unit or perhaps one of Tesoro's water units as Tesoro's just love gold rings..Most ardent detectorists have several units to handle various conditions and one unit can't do it all and all have give and takeaways..
