[morelic55]

Man, I'm diggin the Tejon!!! Great machine, I forgot how fun a non-meter machine was!!! Most targets were in the 6-8" level for depth, all with solid hits.

thats good depth , very good lead is a low conducter to so the 17.5 is hitting good on the bullets

very nice finds! Tejon does hit brass and lead pretty hard.

 

[morelic55]

Tab, that is a piece of lead that was left in a spoon to cool. I can only imagine them making bullets with the spoon in the field. I hunted with Disc #1 at the lowest setting and Disc #2 right at the "F" in foil..............

 

[tabdog]

That's awsome.

Stuff like that gives a fealing of personal

things being associated with an item.

Just too cool,

Tabdog

Nice finds.

I just bought a used Tejon and have issues with the all metal mode.

The tone in all metal mode seems unstable is that normal or do I have a problem Houston? It has a wavering tone at times and drifts up and becomes nonadjustable. I may have some electrical interference, but don't have that issue with any other machine used in same area?

I made some deep finds on some very small brass in a test run (1/8" brass rivet disc about 8"), and found items mixed in with a lot of iron. But I did seem to find iron with the discriminate all the up to max. Large, solid, rusted, iron. I had disc #1 just under 5 cent where I could still read gold and Disc #2 all the way up. My Golden doesn't seem to read iron that high.

I was hunting a yard where an old house site had been. Lot's of trash.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Congrats on the very good finds! I really like seeing the bullets, and other relics, Beale.

Sounds like ya need to maybe send it in for a checkup. How high do you run the gain? Anything over 10 and it is a handfull to use. MO

When I first turn it on I have it about 3 or 4 and try to set GB and threshold etc. The threshold acts like it wants to keep increasing and I have to turn the machine off and start over. I then hunt in Disc mode and turn it up as high as I can without chatter.

I just received the machine and am still learning about it. But the unstable threshold in All Metal just does not seem right.

 

[morelic55]

Ok, now we're getting somewhere. Check out the Tesoro Website for the Video on ground balancing. I think that is where you are having the problem.

 

[jamt225]

Morelic55,

I'm a little slow. :>)

I can't find this video you refer to. Help plz.

I don't see the ground balance technique on the Tesoro forum any more. I've never been able to hunt in all metal with the Tejon. I can with the Vaquero, but the Tejon is unstable in my ground. I think in mild ground you could do it, but not in highly mineralized ground.
