Just started back in using a Tejon again. The first one I had turned me off to using it because it was in rough shape and I had trouble getting it stable. The machine I have now I got new and its a whole different animal. Has anyone tried using a limiter on their headphones, keeping the disc low so that nails just break up and turning the volume on the headphones up to near max? My thoughts are that this should allow me to hear those faint, deep signals I'm looking for in hard hunted areas.

I did that samething and was in a spot where targets where far apart, and someone I knew had come and started talking to me about football (yeah thats a quick way to get me distracted) and after talking I put headphones on and walked two steps or more got a target and it scared the living $@#! out of me.

I am trying to decide between the Tejon and Vaquero. My hunts are normally in parks, school ball fields and tot lots for coins and rings. In any other case it maybe an old home stead or around abandoned buildings such as old motels or home steads that are littered with nails and other garbage....so I am trying to decide
In the other thread here, Barber Bill said maybe a Vaquero with the 5.75 coil. I agree with the smaller coil part, but it sounds like you might need a little more ID capability. I use an X-terra 70 for that chore. With the 6" DD coil its a killer combo. Reason I mention it is if you're not ready to go back to beep and dig it could be a little rough with the Tesoro. But, if you are the Vaquero with the 5.75 and stock coil would be my strong recommendation for you over the Tejon. The Vaquero is a smoother, lighter and well liked unit and easier to get used to than a Tejon. I had its predecessor, the Eldorado for quite a while and frankly I'm sorry I traded it in on something else.
