Tejon given another chance...

[GazinUK]

Picked this up relatively cheap, had one about 10 or more years ago, the ground balance was a real pain. The minute the ground changed from lightly worked soil to compact the machine reacted and I'm talking every couple of feet. Still a little older and wiser? Prepared to have another go

I used to have the Tejon but traded it away on another deal - I should have kept it. Like the knobs...

@GazinUK - Yap, older & wiser. And maybe a little more patient. Good Luck on the next hunt.

Used to be considered one of the best machines for ancient sites in the uk........never did try one but had a laser trident based on the tesoro Cibola and that was a fantastic little machine.

Recently bought a new old stock one.
Already broke one of the battery holders.
Dam cats knocked it off the shelf.
Anyone know where I can get a new one.
Was just starting to figure it out.
Loved I could adjust the tones for my deaf ears.
Yes ground balance is a bit touchy.
Great machine.

Hi Odan. Can you please post a photo from your battery holder? As far as my experience is there are different holders in the market.
And if I remember correct, the +button has to be on the right hand to fit the Tesoro, if the contacts show upwards.
On the amazon-deal, Picketwire is mentioning, the +button is on the left side.

Hopefully good enough image.
