Coil for the Tejon
June 21, 2014 11:07PM
Picked up a used Tejon the other day and it came with the stock 8x9 coil. Got to use it a little in the back yard and found a 1922 dime , a old timer pocket knife,a small lock that appears to be fairly old and some other junk as usual.I was running a high disc so I did not dig any of the many nails that live in the yard. The 8x9 seems to discriminate real well so I cant complain about it.

Was thinking about picking up the 5x10 widescan and wanted to see if any of you guys had any experience with it and what you thought of it. Also how is it weight wise compared o the 8x9?

As always any info. is appreciated.

Pacman...


the 5x10 is one of my favorite coils for the tejon...

but you will find it false more on nails than the stock...

but if the dirt is bad it works better at punching...

the weight is about the same.

for serious iron work get the 5.75 concentric not dd...

the elliptical dd is good on the tejon not that great on the cibola or vaquero..
Not enough gain to run it..

Thanks Keith
Will most likely get the 5.75 at some point. The stock coil is running so quite in my nail infested yard I doubt at this point unless I could find a good used 5x10 cheap I will go that route. The soil here is mild to moderate for the most part.

Hi Pacman,I got a package deal on a tejon with 4 coils...and that 5x10 has never come off. Great coil,good depth,but can still work those iron infested spots well. I also prefer solid coils,easier to swing in grass. I may sell it ...pm me with offer...I just bought 2detectors,and will have to sell my tejon and tdi.
