Sunday morning I went back to a school athletic complex that is as "virgin" that a public site can be. I have taken several brands of detectors to this place since last fall and had success with all of them. Yesterday it was 35 degrees with a bitter north wind blowing misty rain so to put it bluntly, I was miserable. The grass was long and uncut so I could not scrub my coil like I wanted so I hunted the areas with the grass at it's lowest. I have not had much success in the areas I hunted yesterday so I was not expecting too much. I started finding deep clad dimes with the Tejon and by deep, I mean in the 6 to 7 inch range. This is the depth where in the past I was finding silver and wheaties so I was disappointed. After circling the football field, I went to the field that was closer to the school. This school was built in 1958 and I have found about 20 silver coins and 50 wheaties with various detectors. I had not gone twenty paces into this different field when I got the now familar repeatable whisper of a tell tale deep coin. From an honest 9 inches I saw the rim of a silver coin. 44 mercury dime and my deepest silver yet with the Tejon. Walked a straight line for 50 feet or so and picked up three wheaties from similar depths. I have always thought that Tesoros lost considerable depth when you increase the depth, but what I am finding is the signal is still there, but very faint. Again my settings: main disc just below nickel, alt. disc at just above tab, sens at 9-10. After using some of the walking computers with a coil, it is a pleasure to hunt with this kind of simplicity and performance. For people who say depth is lacking and Tesoros are outdated designs, you don't know what you are missing. Some call a single tone detector to be a drawbacl, but I am finding the one tone audio to be very descriptive. Certain metals will literally shriek while coins will have that softer signal. Funny thing to boot. I am coming home with more coins than I find with my other detectors. Beep and dig is just plain FUN!
