Being a new owner of the Tejon, I have managed to get some hours in to learn the Tejon a little. Have not been out in the fields yet but that will be this weekend.
My experience has been hunting old home sites that I have hunted with my partner a lot. Most surface trash has been removed and this is ideal conditions for the Tejon in my learning experience. In my yard I have recovered some coins that SURPRISED me, one being a buffalo nickle, several Wheaties and bullets. I have mostly used the 5.75 DD coil and love the power and depth this coil gets on the Tejon. I run the Sens at 6 and no higher and some times at 4. I have been power balancing the Tejon and it runs smooth with the Tejon chatter which gives a lot of information, the discrimination is excellent. and all of the coins I have found were next to iron.
Next stop was a old house that has a large side yard with a section that has produced and has been hunted in all directions with different detectors. this section is
about 20 feet by 10 feet. other coins have been found out side of this area, but this section has produced some nice coins and jewelry. I was impressed after I dug two
Mercury dimes in about 10 min. I was only digging soft deep signals, both coins to my best judgment were about 7 inches, maybe a little more as the grass was tall.
More coins were found, 4 Wheaties and a broach loaded with diamonds that got my heart beat going until I realized they were not real, but a nice find never the less
being the age of the broach. The Tejon is hot on brass and I did dig some bullets and other old house hold items that were keepers to me. The way the Tejon hit on silver did surprise me, I like the Tejon, and I just cant wait to take it out in the fields, but it sure can find the coins under the right conditions at old houses and its ability to detect keepers next to IRON is the best I have used.
