The guy shows the Fisher picking a bullet up 7" and the Tejon just an occasional blip. Only thing that bothered me was the quick glimpse of where the Tejon was set-sounded like in the disc mode and the Fisher in a/m mode. Also, the comments section had been disabled. Hmm-m-m.

Just saw a youtube of the Tejon vs. F75...

Never had a Tejon before, but I know how to G/B a Tesoro, and that guy never had a clue how to ground balance the Tejon. If the ground was that mineralised I would think you would power-balance it if hunting in Disc. mode. If I had both the F75 and Tejon and did a test on youtube and was biased on one or the other..........I could mal adjust either one to look bad! JMTC's.

Don't belive anything you read and only half of what you see.....Nothing against the F series but do have to say they are expensive and to get depth expect EMI outside interference noise...What led you to believe a TeJon won't go deep in disc. mode...heck even if set high loss of depth is marginal...bottom line Randy's post is a trueism.....

hey just to let you know daniel that made that video has now put the f-75 up for sale and there's a lot of people giving him flack he he he
Thanks. I just know how Tesoros sound and when people do a comparison they take the time to show the settings and it's not so rushed. I even tried to freeze the photo, but it was blurry and looked like the disc was above iron or higher, but couldn't tell if the disc mode was on. Just checkin' this detector out before I buy. Wonder if he kept the Tejon?amcjavelin said:

Singshot,Tejons are used over here in the U.K to winkle tiny hammered coins out of iron infested sites.They are one of the best machines you can get for this type of hunting,their sensitivity to tiny objects has been proven time and time again.I would not worry too much about that video...the Tejon is a cracking detector.

I watched that.
No matter what my next machine will be a Tejon. I have seen them in action. They are great detectors.

Hi Topo,i've never really understood why people think one machine is better for relics rarther than coins and vice versa.I own a Nautilus amongst others(including a tesoro) and people claim that this is mainly a relic hunter.Why?? I f my Nauti goes over a coin it signals it.....if it goes over a relic it signals it.What i am trying to say is that a metal detector detects metal objects,it does not discriminate between coins and relics.My Nauti is one of the best coin machines i have ever owned that will keep up with anything available today for finding coins.It's the same with the Tejon.This machine is extremely sensitive to small coins,in fact any type of coin and is still one of the best machines available today.It will also find jewellry with equal ease.....if you go over it you'll get it.What machine did you get instead of the Tejon???

Hi Nauti Neil, I'm not a technical geek, but one of the reason that makes a machine better for relic or for gold hunting is the threshold response and the ground balancing, thats the reason why Tesoro has the Lobo. I believe the Tejon is a great machine and Im going to buy one on the future, but for now I prefer the versatility of my MXT
PS. I forgot to say that I wish when I get the Tejon to get more finds, that will means that I'm evolving. I'm not married to any brand, I just love what works for me
I have both machines. The only reason I use a F75 is all I have to do is look at the screen and know when to dig, but I always hunt in All-Metal. If Tesoro is going to keep up with the market they must come out with something that will aid the user. I dig most all iron signals, but I can tell what iron I want to dig with the F75. I am not down talking the Tesoro's. I used them for years, but they need to catch up with the other companys. It would be a easy fix. Just put the screen of a Deleon on a Tejon and I would sell my F75. Bear
I agree completely! put a target id-conductivity meter on the tejon and you brought down the apacolypse on the competetion. however, do it and you kill the cortes and original tejon,so no financial insentive exists to unleash such a monster. i say unleash this monster and kill the cortes. what tesoro should also do is reverse engineer the exiting vlf technology from eastern europe(vista anyone?) , and rebrand that as the their new tejon (give it a cool name like the tejon hombre). lets face it, they are too small to take on minelab, but with their brand, they sure can round up and retire the bottom feeders and bring serious heat to whites,fishers, and garrets. last but not least, as much as i love the lobo, they need new gold equipment. vlf technology on the fields is a hack (even minelab has proven it with their mediocre vlf equipment!) . tesoro needs a decent PI detector. look at the tdi. for the first time you have a viable competitor to the gpx detectors. fantastic! maybe tesoro could produce something to kill of the old infinium... just my two cents.
