Tejon Tone Difference?

[kc7rad]

Evening All,

I may be a noob but I am finally ready to dive in and get a detector. The one I had before, a cheap, cheap one always had issues in desert washes. Had to sell that one years ago at any rate.

So, I have potential virgin targets, some on private, some on public land, all with history of habitation back to the early 1800's and a few have documented history back to 1600's.

I decided to get the Tejon. However, here is the issue/question...

These targets are in the mid-west, some 2000 miles away. They are loam, clay and sand/beach sites. I live in Vegas! So, once I learn to use this detector in the desert soil and rocks, will there be much of a learning curve when moving to these different soil types?

BTW, my focus is on relic hunting, with the occasional coin shooting.

Oh, how is the construction on the Tejon? There are a few locations that may require transport via dirt bike or 4-wheeler.

TIA all
-Ken

Hi Ken,

The Tejon is a quality piece of equipment that can be broken down easily to carry in a back pack. There is no real learning curve to the sounds it makes but you will learn if very fast with just some use. It has a VCO function to increase the pitch and tone to help you know how close you are to the target to the center of the coil if you want it turned on or off. You can also adjust the pitch of the signal for your preference since some of us hear certain pitches better. I like to use Black Widow headphones with mine but if you are going to be near many snakes Detector Pro makes one called a Rattler.
