:shrug: 11" Widescan Coil On The Tejon :shrug:

Anyone use one? I have one on the way and besides the weight how does it compare to the 10x12 DD? I will be using it for relic hunting in open pastures.

i dont think it goes any deeper than the stock 9 by 8, and i dont think the 10 by 12 goes any deeper than the stock coil,,,both coils will give more coverage of course, but as far as depth on a bullet, i think they are all about the same,,,,but i do know that the 10 by 12 will wear your butt out after a while of swinging that thing, hey are you the one that hunted the diggin in vir., if so, how did you do,,,,

In high mineralized grounds 10x12 coil makes the difference (in open areas) and punches deeper than the stock coil. 11" dd coil could be a valid alternative in hot grounds with high grass. 10 x 5 elliptic dd and 5 coils are good for high mineralized grounds and iron contamined sites or with grass. My 2 cents.
Take r.

I guess I'll just have to see for myself. Guess it will be good for weed stubble thou!! Never been to a DIV, can't ever get off work to go and I think the price to get there is too much for the results.................MO

....I didn't use the Tejon. I heard too many reports that the Tejon just won't work well in that crappy soil. Since the DIVs are my only decent digging times, I try to make the most of them and I didn't feel like experimenting with it. I used the MXT instead. While I was there, I did notice that someone was using a Tesoro, not sure which model. I wanted to go up to him and ask him but I was busy digging up something myself and I lost track of him. The Tejon is an awesome machine, I love using it. I just haven't taken the time to experiement with it at a DIV. Maybe at the next one I will.

Well, I got the coil today. Don't know how it will do in the dirt, but I can get 12" air test in disc mode set at Iron on the dial. Weight is just a little more than the stock coil, but not as heavy as the 10x12 I had

I hope you do well with it. The open frame coils are nice, but are a pain to use when relic hunting in the woods. Depending on your results, I may have to get one myself.
