Maiden Run With Tejon

[RL OH]

It has been three or four years since I have owned a Tesoro detector and I have missed the simplicity of a "beep and dig" detector. I have used many Tesoros over the years and I bought a Tejon when they came out, but sold it without really using it. I sold it because of how sensitive it was. I was digging blue jean pocket rivets at 7 plus inches with that first one. I was amazed at these small brass rivets sounded at those depths. I have been lurking waiting for a nice used one to show up and last week I finally found one. Today was clear, calm, but cold in northeast Ohio so I took the new to me Tejon for a trial run. I set the dual disc up to accept nickels and with the altenate disc to hit on zincs and above. For the first two hours I dug plenty of trash before things started clicking. I found out exactly where nickels dropped off on the main disc and I then found three straight nickels. This is always a good thing to be able to do with a Tesoro. I felt confident after finding nickels. I found about thirty coins at this point along with at least double that amount of trash. I was at the main entrance of a school built in the 1920's when I got nickel signal. When I thumbed the main disc, it stayed accepted slightly longer than a nickel. I had a nice smooth signal and I had a feeling that it might be gold. At an honest 8 inches, I saw the glint of a gold ring. It was a woman's class ring. When I cleaned it up it was a 1951 10k ring! The first hunt with the Tejon and gold. I think 2012 is going to be a great year. R.L.

Wow,that is so cool.

gold the first time, and with a new detector to boot.

p.s. nice dialing in that detectors discrimination points. We all can learn from that...

If you think it's deep and sensitive in disc mode, try running it in all metal. You need a fairly clean site to run all metal, but the Tejon loves to run wide open.

Sweet. Hopefully you won't have any problems finding the owner of the ring.
