In March my Minelab Explorer quit working. It happened just when I had found a great civil war site covered in relics. I had money in my paypal account so went on the hunt for a new detector, a detector to use until I got my new Explorer, and a detector to use as a backup when I got my Explorer. Well, I got my Explorer. It is still one of the best detectors out there, great depth, but you pay the price with the calliope that plays its tunes while you are hunting. It has extremely slow recovery and makes a lot of racket. But, I still love my Minelab. Today I took my Tejon ou looking for relics. Found a 1954 half dime and a .58 minnie. To date I have found about 6 half dimes and countless buttons and minnies with the Tejon. It easily finds small buckshot and will not miss nice iron relics. In short the Tejon is the best detector out there one can buy for the money. It has no meter, but, with the dual discriminators a meter is not necessary. The Tejon continually finds deep targets and will find them as fast as I can swimg the coil. No slow searching with the Tejon. I would highly recommend the Tejon to anyone no matter what their treasure hunting needs may be. I have used maybe 12 different detectors in my 35 years of hunting, including Relco; Whites (Coinmaster 5; Coinmaster 6; 6Di Pro); King Cobra; Fisher (VLF555 pro); Minelab (Explorer; Explorer II); Garrett; Teknetics; Tesoro and Nautilus. The Tejon is as good as any of the above detectors. In short if you are looking for the best detector while spending the least amount of money, then about $550 will get you the Tejon, will whill equal any Whites; Garrett; Minelab; or any other model or brand on the market, and you will have four to five hundred dollars still in you pocket for making the right decision.
