I don't need any more information because I am going to tell you that the Tejon is one of the best detectors on the market.
I have been using detectors for 35 years and have had a bunch of different detectors. My main detector for the last ten years has been the Minelab Explorer.
Last year my Explorer stopped working just when I found a great civil war site. I couldn't afford a new Minelab so after doing some research decided on the Tejon. I used the Tejon all last Spring (2006) at my site and found a bunch of relics. Late last year I then bought a Minelab Explorer II and took that machine to my field and found almost nothing. The Tejon had found just about everything.
This year I am still using the Tejon and it has been great. I am still returning to the field and still finding relics. I have been finding minnies in excess of ten inches. The Tejon is also very sensitive on buckshot. My Tejon can detect buckshot and a friend who I hunt with who uses a White's Eagle can not even detect the target.
The dual discriminators work fine and work hand in hand. I think I like the dual discriminators over a meter. Meters are nice but not necessary. I usually set one discriminator on iron and the second on pulltabs. When I get a target and switch to the second discriminator, if the signal is still there then I did it. Sometimes it is a rusty bit of junk, but usually it is a good target.
The machine is very light and great on batteries. Pinpointing is dead on right under the center of the searchcoil.
For the money the Tejon is the way to go. I can guarantee that much.

Normally I too would need more info, but between these two, there is no comparison.
Since the Tejon is made by Tesoro, it still has a Lifetime Warranty, where the Fisher doesn't an you might need it in my opinion.
