Fell off the Technology wagon

[Big Treble]

Sooo, im not sure if this is a 2nd midlife crisis or what, but after 10 years of detecting and continuing to buy what I have thought was the most advanced machine I could find..........i just bought a Tejon.

Its like i have two tiny versions of me on each shoulder one thats excited for the new toy and the riches it will unveil and the other asking "What the Hell did you just do?"

Lol, feeling kind of like Sybil. Not sure why i convince myself a new machine will be better. But I was always was told "hope is the magic ingredient" so i hope this will do better in the trash,

You just bought a nice Tesoro Tejon, that's what you just did. Best of luck to you.

Tejon does very well in trash with the 5.75 inch concentric coil.

The Tejon is a great machine -- just ask if you have questions about it.

Who is going to fix it if it needs repair?

Who is going to fix it if it needs repair?

These guys can fix Tesoros and some other brands: http://brokendetector.com

Some folks on these forums also have the electronics knowledge to do repairs. Just to be clear, I'm not one of them

Tesoros are pretty robust, though. Not unbreakable, but not very fragile, either.

Was thers two versions of this by chance? One has dashes between the words and one has underscores.

Good stuff, thanks for putting it together and or making it available Sven

I wasnt too concerned if i couldn't, i bought it used and know what the reprocucssions were, but also had known that there were several guys who work on analog machines.

Dont think i could pay new price for a machine with support calculated into the price, though.

I know what you mean. I did buy a new Sand Shark last year because I'd wanted one for awhile and didn't feel comfortable buying a used water machine. I'm being pretty careful with it and so far it works fine. Would have liked to get it at a discount because of the warranty issue but decided to snag one before they were all gone... people still seem to want new Tesoros even with the company being defunct. A lot of dealers are out of stock now.

Fortunately, for you and other buyers of new tesoro machines, is that they have from what i und3 is a tried an true machine, that pretty much better have all the bugs worked out of them by now. Any premature failure i would see as a extreme rarity.

That is certainly my hope

I have yet to get out with my Tejon which I grabbed a couple months ago, but I can tell you if it's like my other tesoros it'll be great!!
It's different than the screen digital detectors. Definitely agree with sven on the tips and tricks book.
It's a different style of detecting but the separation and speed of tesoros are hard to match. They are a blast.
The Tejon is a bit sparky in my tests so far but in a powerhouse kind of way. Incan see myself hunting with sensitivity down.
Good luck and be sure to post your experiences and any questions you have after trying it out. There's a great group of tesoro enthusiasts here that can help.
Best of luck and congrats on your first tesoro!!

The Tejon is still one of my all time favorite machines!! A real powerhouse and a pleasure to swing.

Got to try it today .......barely........ I've got a lot of learning to do. Had to revert back to technology for the rest of the day.
