Advice on Tejon in mineralized soil . . . ?

[parsonwalker]

Planning a CW relic hunt near Warrenton Virginia and I hear the soil can be goofy up there. I've never hunted anywhere but central Virginia and the Northern Neck (Sand, a little clay) and I was wondering if ya'll could provide any advice on getting the most out of the Tejon in mineralized soils? Thanks, I hope.

Small search coils and wide-scan search coils handle mineralized soils better than large search coils and concentric search coils do.

Depending on the site I'd op for either the 5.75 inch concentric search coil or Tesoro's new RSD 8 x 11 wide-scan search coil.

I really like the new wide-scan search coil, because it's really light, it covers a lot of ground with each sweep and it gets good depth.

I agree with Tabman. I use the new RSD 8x11 coil exclusively on my Tejon and love it. It's the same weight as the stock 9x8 as far as I can tell.
