Tesoro Tejon :tesoro::usaflag: Keeps On Giving :detecting:

I went back over that same small area that I have been detecting for the last few days to see what's left. The very first signal that I got was loud and clear but a little choppy. I dug down and popped a 1945 Silver War Nickel. I rescanned the hole and got another signal, but this time it was a few inches off to the left and closer to the surface. It turned out to be a 1964 nickel. I rescanned the hole again and got yet another signal that turned out to be a 1946 nickel that was deeper down in the hole. I moved closer to street and got a beautiful sweet sounding audio signal that appeared to be deep and sounded like a coin. Then I noticed that there was a ring around the target area, a replaced grass plug from a couple of days ago that I dug. It could have been deep iron and I replaced the plug or I forgot to recheck the hole after I found that Standing Liberty Quarter a couple of days ago. It sounded too good not to recheck. After pulling the plug, I dug down a inch or so further in the hole and popped a 1943 Mercury Dime. I guess that I got so excited about find the Standing Liberty Quarter that I forgot to recheck the hole that one time. The next good target was clean and crisp. It turned out to be a 1944 Mercury Dime that was just few inches deep. I round the day out by finding a couple of Wheat Pennies (1950, 1940), some modern coins, a flag pin, and a sandal pendant. I had the discrimination set where a Gatorade Sports Drink Foil Cap just barely discriminates out.

The Tejon may have been designed to be a top notch relic detector, but it sure works great at finding coins.

I have a Tesoro 5 x 10 inch DD coil that's in mail headed my way. I can't wait to give it some swing time on the Tejon to see how it fairs.

Wow you find a lot of great stuff. I had an hour today between work and a meeting and don't it have to pour out. I still haven't got to use my new tejon. Tried doing air tests in my garage and I have to much junk around to really test it out.

Tab the hard part for you must be deciding which tesoro to use for the day, I bet you like them all ,tho. I see you paid the trash tax as well to get those nice mercury dimes, AMAZING

It's really frustrating. I usually have thee detectors in car when I head out (which 3 to take is a hard decision), because I like using different detectors and coils at different sites. If go to a soccer field and they're playing that day, I head somewhere else. When I head somewhere else and get there, I find that the grass has not been cut and is too tall to detect, so I head somewhere else. Some mornings when I head out, I haven't a clue where I going to detect that day, so I head somewhere else. I settle down some once I get there.

Man what a great year for silver you are having. I gotta agree, relic machine or not, the Tejon is one heck of a coin hunter. So far I am loving my Tejon, but only have about 8 hours on it so far.

Rainyday, I noticed the more that use the Tejon the better I like it. It takes time to become familiar with it. It's not like other Tesoro detectors.

When I set it down for week or so and use other detectors, it takes time to become familiar with it again. It will talk to you, but you have to learn its language.

Compared to my Silver and Tiger I agree 100% with that. To me the tone is not as round on a coin, maybe a little sharper on the front and rear edge. So far I have no complaints. The only thing I did notice is that deep iron can size up like a coin, but when you dig a deep plug, the pro pointer will tell you it's deep and bigger iron because it sounds off all over in the bottom of the hole instead of just a small area like a coin. This last weekend I got a softer signal and starting digging. I decided I wasn't gonna stop until I got the target. This area is typical for me 1-2" of sod and sand below. I cut a small plug and dug. The target ended up being a square piece of thin metal 1.5" x 1.5". When I retrieved it the top of the pinpointer was 5" below the surface. A Pro Pointer is 9" long. This detector is impressive and deep!
