I'm still getting used to the Tejon (and metal detecting) and have a question. What are some reasonable depths to find things? I have found .22 casings at 6 - 8 inches. Last night I found a screw cap at.... well, the depth of my pro-pointer....about ten inches? And it seems I could dig half way to China and still find nails.

Are these depths what one should expect?

Thats some good depths, I would be more than happy w/them results. Everyone's ground is different so any given detector will get different results/depths depending where a person hunts. Enjoy the Tejon they are a great detector.

Yeah, that's about normal. My Silver umax finds screwcaps at 7-8". About halfway to China is where Skiwhiz left his Tejon he once had.

Tejon can find nickles deeper than quarters. It is very hot on the mid-range conductors like nickles, shell casings, bullet points ... the whole the brass, lead, nickle and gold range. You are seeing what it does and what you are finding and depths are what I get in fairly mild ground; as opposed to very highly mineralized ground where depths are not as good.

Better than what I am getting so far.
