Tejon Interference

[Odanscoils]

The sniper on a Gold Bug is what I usually use in the playground to get rid of these hazards. Small earrings are hard to find targets but not worth what larger ones are, that is unless they contain diamonds or such. I am sure the Sniper on the Tejon will find small ones if disc is low enough. I would imagine the sound would be a little different than nails and such and would probably pinpoint very small and not move around much but if disc is up to foil, it would probably disappear. The only way to know for sure is to obtain one or two and put them on the ground and see where is discs out and what sounds it makes.

Thanks PW ,, TVR.
Practice is something I preach.
Now I have to practice what I preach.
Honey
Where's your Nice earrings.
I wanna bury them at the beach.
Ummm
This may get Interesting.

Sounds dangerous to me!

Tie some mono-filament fishing line to them just in case. I've done that with wife's jewelry.

Won't be soon. We are in the middle of sorting decades of collected stuff, selling, giving away and otherwise disposing of stuff. Have pretty much decided what we are actually moveing and all the detetors are packed and have been moved. The beach will be my primary detecting area when fully moved. I do have an acre to play on and wife and I have already eye spotted a few coins on the new place. Have also picked up dozens of bottle caps sitting on the surface at the new place. That is where I'll start playing with the Tejon again once we get fully settled.

Now that you're moved in.
Have played with your Tejon or Bandido 2 umax ?

Small wire earrings disc out in iron. Sometimes I like to rid the gravel in our city park's kid's playground of nails, needles, wood screws, sharp wire, thumb tacks, etc. by searching in all metal or zero disc. This is where I find small earrings and tiny chains. Bigger earrings with large dangles of copper or silver probably won't disc out.

Will the Clean Sweep work the same in this mode ?
Still looking for wifs gold cross with a fine chain

The smaller coil will not change where things discriminate out. For some odd reason, the Compadre has seemed to be a good small gold detector in the playgrounds. Haven't used a Gold Bug, but I'm sure it does well on the small gold too.

With the Compadre do you still need wife open disc for small gold chains ?

I've never had a Bandido of any version. I've searched parts of the yard with my F75LTD and Compadre. For small gold chains the disc needs to be set to not discriminate out anything if you can even see them at all. Nearly all the stuff I've found in the yard at the new place falls into three categories:
Pull tabs, bottle caps and plumbing parts.

Oops. Sorry.
Up all night reading All the beep and dig post's.
Looking for any info on the Bandido.
Must have gotten you mixed up with someone else in the threads.

Sounds like my place.
Had feet of Clean fill piled in leveling the ground for the build.

First moved in I went over it with my GT and 13" ultimate coil.
Not a peep.
Out back in the farm field found a bunch of iron and a really nice logging chain.
I think the farmer worked on his tractor a Lot back there.

I've been throwing handfuls of coins out in front for something to detect since I've been homebound for years now.
Coppers, dimes, quarters.
Even silver everything. Half's too.
Probably thrown fifty nickels out there so far.
Making it very difficult to find that cross the wife lost.

Just picked up a mint Bandido 2 umax.
And my Mojave. Which runs perfect there.
Loving that machine.
Took it to my favorite substation.
5kv and 33kv 25' overhead.
And a cell tower not a hundred ft away.
The bandido hardly made a peep of interference.
Very happy am I.

Next big test is on an 1805 homestead next to the old service center I worked at.
Probably 30 wifi and cell repeaters around the building.
Almost nothing will run there.
Not the GT, MXT, Explorers, Garrets.
Nothing digital it seems.
I've probably tried a dozen high end machines.
The Tejon was even a little erratic.
Though it pulled an 1823 crusty large cent and a seated dime.

I'm hoping that the Mojave and Bandido will pull some more Old coins and maybe some nice antique bling.
I'm doubting the new to me V3i will even function there.
Though it may help IDing the gold cross at home.

Though I'm not so sure about the ED 120 disc in the Bandido 2.
The Mojave with the ED 180 disc at iron disc saw hundreds of targets.
While the bandido hardly made a peep.
Concerned it could miss small gold.

Though they both did hit and thumbed out near the top on a suspected copper.
Frozen I'll find out later.
Though cold be a 6to6 copper C crimp I've already found there.
Dozens of them.

The Bandido 2 micromax will find as small a gold as the Compadre but only in all metal mode.

Any way to open the ED 120 to say 165 like Monte liked on a few machines .

It won't hit gold in disc ?
