Recently got a Tesoro Tejon, have heard and read a number of times about the Tejon being too powerful,noisy,etc. I was testing it today on my wife's jewelry and it is hard to believe how sensitive it is, little ear ring backs are no problem for it, small chains came in loud and clear, very very close to acting like a Compadre with jewelry. I took it for a quick hunt at a school tonight and it was as calm as a cucumber, real stable, very good depth, I can't find anything that I don't like about it. So if any of you ever consider a Tejon don't believe all you read about them being too powerful for "regular" hunting. They have a sensitivity dial like most other detectors have and it can be adjusted lower if need be. I consider it one of Tesoro best detectors.
I bought the Tejon from a fella that hasn't used it in awhile, some of the dials/pots. and the trigger switch wasn't working quite right, after spraying it with some electronic cleaner things seems to be alot better, still not 100% happy with the threshold as I have to max it out to get a slight buzz, and at times I can't get it to buzz. I bought an allen wrech and am going to take all the knobs off and clean the pots. shafts,etc. The guy I bought it from has offered me a full refund if I want to send it back but I want to see if I can get it working like it should as it seems to be a hot one & I like it.
