Think jewelry which is best

[WV62]

I have both the Tesoro Tejon and a new Garrett AT Pro. Both seems to be good machines, but the jury is still out on both machines being deep deep coin machines. So for starters I was wondering which is best for jewelry. Not trying to bash either machine, I am sure both are good detectors.

The AT Pro in the Pro mode. I'm not so sure either would beat the Tesoro Compadre.

That little Compadre seems to have a special place for jewelry hunting, but right now I have 4 detectors, so I kind of need to make do with what I have, that is kind of a wife thing, you know what I mean? The AT Pro is running a pretty high Khz like 15 and so is the Tejon like 17.2 to 17.6.

I would bet they both would do pretty good on jewelry IF you set them up right and hunt with the right techniques.

Use small sniper coils if you have them, (that will isolate targets around trash better than larger coils and avoid some masking), but no matter what coil you use go extremely slow, overlap heavily, and dig pretty much all targets, good ones and trash.

Chains can come in anywhere and will be disguised as other common signals including trash, and that goes doubly so for gold which I have found from iron to zinc and everything in between.

Next weekend my MD club is having our end of the year annual seeded hunt and if I use my Compadre quickly and effectively, (yes I do have one of those because I am a jewelry hunter most of all, along with a Vaquero and an F2), I will be able to scoop up tons of targets, silver coins and tokens, and if I find the right token I just might be able to win the AT Pro they are giving away.

If so, I will be glad to report back on how good that one is at finding jewelry, once I learn it.
