Which detector would you choose?

[dmgadway]

I've reduced my choices for a relic detector to the Fisher 1270, or the Tesoro Tejon. Any good or bad points I need to consider? Which one overall will be deeper?

You have broken your choice down to 2 of the best detectors availible, as far as I am concerned. I used to use the 1270 excusively, I had to send it back for a little work(my fault) and got a Cibola to use while it was gone. Easiest machine I ever used. I have one complaint about Tesoro's, no volumn knob 'cause where I hunt I cant use headphones and my hearing is not real good anymore. The Fisher has one and has a little longer learning curve but not much. With the Fisher, I have dug bullets 14-16 inches deep. With the Cibola a foot or so but you have to go slow and listen very carefuly but if you use headphones you would be better off probably with both machines. I have not used a Tejon but am fixing to make a step up pretty soon. Check with David at dixie he can help you more that I can, a more knowledgable person on detectors you will never come in contact with...d2

Thanks for the input! I have read alot of good things about both. All the reviews,posts etc seem to agreee that the fisher is consistantly deep out of the box. The Tejon seems to have a few mixed reviews, as If they may not be consistantly set up. I do have a cibola, It was my first detector and it works great. Like you said "very easy to use." I think I'll opt for a 1270 due to it's smaller coil and seperate iron disc., and also its famed depth. I like the trigger switch to check targets. Thanks again.
