Peter,
The sites you hunt with the Tejon, do they have modern trash? If yes how do you tell the difference between say a shallow 22 slug and the deeper larger slugs. 22 short and LR cartridges, do they sound like say perc caps? Do you only post photos of your keepers, or have you posted photos of everything you find per hunt. I ask this, since as a fairly well known relic hunter you can provide a benchmark, of what trash to treasure ratio a new relic hunter should be aiming for. I realize that may vary by site, but I believe you probably have an average. Over the years as you have used different machines has that average remained consistent? For relic hunting in your area, has the Tejon been the best in trash?

Hey Bill.
almost all the sites me and my partners hunt are old and long gone and havent had human activity around them for a very long time.They either date from mid 1700's colonial sites to nothing beyond 1865. If we find a site and date it by glass and china to say past 1865 we dont even bother with it.Trash in these sites are mainly 22 shells or shotgun shells from modern day hunters. Thats the good thing about the sites we hunt theres no modern trash!!! Now I have hunted downtown construction sites looking for confederate & union relics and in those places modern trash litters the lots. A small coil with very low sensitivity is a must in places like this.So this detector can work in both places extremly well and I've found the tejon to work better than anything I've ever used to relic hunt with and I've used many a different brand over the past 23 yrs.Its got the power to cut through the deepest leaves and pine straw in the woods getting me buttons 15 inches at times while also being able to descriminate as good or better than anything currently available to modern detector users. Its also light enough to swing in the thickest brush all day long. I can't ask for much else its awsome!
