Newbie Tejon 101.

[Mike Livingston]

Just got my Tejon a few days ago and thought I would pass this info onto other new owners. As you know this machine takes some getting use to.Today I was in wood chips and could not get a negative Ground Balance. With the knob all the way negative the tone would stay positive as I raised and lowered the loop. After a conversation with my Dealer I discovered that on ground with no minerals that is the way it should be. I went to a volley ball court that had minerals and I could get the loop to go quiet as I raised it from the ground.
The site I was at I had worked about a week ago for a couple of hours
with another good machine with 6x10 coil that produced no keeper targets. I had Disc set at 2-3 just enough to kick out nails
Today in the same volley ball court with Mr T I found a few DEEP pennies and lots of targets that Id'd above nickle and a clad quarter next to the net post. Disc 1 was set to the F on foil and Disc 2 was set slightly past 5. I did dig some large nails but got a double BLIP
on them. With the VCO on in pin point I had a good idea how deep the target was before I dug it. No need for a depth meter. Hope this helps.

Did you remember to pull the trigger while trying to GB? I did that the other day and didn't figure it out till later...

Yep trigger was pulled in just no minerals where I was, very unuual.
The more I use it the more I like it Found a tiny .2dwt, thats point 2, 10k toe ring the other day. Sounded loud and clear in the sand. Was a few inches down with disc. on L in foil. Got no nails like that.Funny thing was when I got home I could air test it at 10" with disc set to 0. Don't remember what is was on L maby 8 or so, MXT with 8" excellerator coil got 8" at disc 0. When I get time I'll try it on the other machines.
