Tiger Shark"vs" Tejon

I am new to Tesoro just acquired a Tiger Shark via trade and, am awaiting the arrival of a newly purchased Tejon. I am planning on selling(up at this very moment) the tiger shark as plan want to use the Tejon. Is that the correct move? The Tiger Shark is unused and therefore may garner a better sale, I don't want to go and use it if the Tejon is indeed better anyway.

Thanks for any info

Tiger Shark is a water detector and built heavier for the water environment. It also lacks a real pinpoint mode for land use or for grass, but it is still very good. Tejon is a hot coin and relic hunter that has many features the Tiger Does not have and it's pinpointing is spot on. I my opinion you would be crazy to get rid of the Tiger Shark, especially if it is one of the older ones that you can change coils.

I owned a Tiger Shark and often used it on rainy days for detecting, no worries about damaging the detector, it is weatherproof.

The Tejon is well known as being a relic hunter.

I am very excited about the Tejon because of the relic and coin abilities I hear it possesses that is the reason I bought it, it was more in that area I was wondering about the Tiger Shark, if it is close on land or a different machine altogether. I think that has been answered..thank you.

The Tejon kicks a$$ when it comes to relics. Search in the audible all-metal mode and it will find everything that is in the ground. It is very sensitive to small stuff and will go deep, but you have to use all-metal to get the full potential of the machine.

Froggy,
So how do you like yours on land I assume that's where you us it when it's raining? Have any idea how it works in salt marshes and brackish rivers? SandMan seems to really like his in water and is not detered by salt water. Sounds like he pushes his and gets all he can out of it. I read all of his posts that I find, he sounds pretty knowledgable. I will refere to him as well but I'd like your opinion! Thanks!
