Most hobby detectors are made to do well finding coins. the Tejon is no exception. There is an advanteage to having 2 discriminators.

Just curious -- what does the 2nd discriminator do to help coinshooting?

I have not done too well finding coins. I find a lot of junk but then after I bought the machine I was told it is a relic machine. Unfortunately I am a coin shooter and will probably be selling it. I am going to give it a while longer before I do.

Hold up a minute! Don't forget that any
detector that can find relics (they're
usually deeper), will also find coins very
deep as well. Try searching where coins &
jewelry are more apt to have been lost.
Set #1 disc. at just below nickles. Any
higher you can lose nice diamond rings that
read out like nickles. Some p.tabs read like
nickles too, so sometimes you have to dig the tabs too. You want #1 disc. to kill most
iron & foil but keep nickles. Disc. #2 you
can set above nickles so as to know if you
have a clad or silver if it still beeps.

if anyone has been spoiled by extensive use of a visual Target ID feature, they might have a challenging time getting used to a non-metered model.
Take a look at the "Relic Hunter's" finds. An occasional big ol' buckle that ought to signal for most detectors, but more often than not, they get a thrill out of the smaller artifacts. Buttons have their own 'bragging rights' and you'll read where a majority of the "relic hunters" are glad to find some big, neat target, but seem to concentrate on buttons and bullets.

I won't give up just yet. I'll try, but, I guess the biggest thing is that I have always had a meter and I find it hard not having one. thanks.

That's your biggest hurdle, making that transition. Once you do it's a piece of cake.

I think your right about that Bill. I think it also depends on your mind set. I perfer not to have the visual stuff, plays with my head and makes me miss things.
The Tejon is one of my best cherry pickers in the junk for coins.
I use it in parks littered with pulltabs and foil.
I set up those discriminators and just go after what I want.
I have been using the 10x12 widescan coil and mostly always have it on.
The Tejon is a real good detector and can be used for coin and jewelry shooting not only relics.
I purchased it specially for coin and jewelry shooting.
I got one when they first came out and never sent it in for any of those whatever modifications . The concept of two discriminators going back to other mfg's and detectors was to have a detector that could be used to hunt for specific stuff and then id detectors more or less took over the coin and jewelry specialty and the the two discriminators became the relic machines and actually two discriminators not needed to dig up most all signals that are not iron especially in fields not know to have pulltabs , foil and other littered junk. so in stating this , its the two discriminators that make the Tejon a good park and junky area detector. You will mostly hear relic hunters that dig any thing say two discriminators not needed.
