WORKING A TRASHY AREA WITH A TEJON

My friend has a Tejon and would like to know,what type of coil would be suited for this type of hunting or is he using the wrong machine.
 
Generally a smaller coil like the 5.75 helps separate good from bad.
Concentric is fine in most situations - if high mineralization becomes a problem, then the wide scan (DD) may have an advantage.
Otherwise, smaller concentric coils.

Quality headphones enhance the language and the faint signals - HH
 
Yes, they make a 12 x 10 double D coil for the T/V/C, plus you can use any of the Lobo coils on these machines as well.
 
Found this in the Official Hand book of Texas

TEJON, TEXAS. Tejon was at the site of what is now the intersection of Farm roads 511 and 1847, five miles north of Brownsville in southern Cameron County. It was a stop on the Texas and New Orleans Railroad in the mid-1930s. By 1936 there were several dwellings and a school in the area. The 1948 county highway map showed the community name, but it did not appear on later maps. In the United States, tejon is Spanish for "raccoon."

OK, Since I'm on the edge of the continent things might be a little different from your amigos to mine...

Raccoon is mapache
Badger is tejon
 
spanish names given to animals can mean different spieces. I call my Explorer Big Bertha and when I get a Tejon for construction sites I'll call it rocky raccoon.
 
Well I musta had a bad hair day when I was at the Tesoro Company site and saw that badger claw print on their Tejon logo.
I used to trap 'em in the Mojave when I was younger and know very well they are digging machines and have seen plenty claws.

...From the wiki site...
"Unlike many carnivores that stalk their prey in open country, badgers catch most of their food by digging. They can tunnel after ground dwelling rodents with amazing speed. They have been known to cache food."

Raccoons?
Well, they did a little diggin under the wire of our chicken coop to get our hens, but mostly forced their way in through defects in the wire.
They climb trees pretty good, though.
Right up to flashlight and 22short height.

Ticked me off.
They cleaned out most our hens in 12 days.

Sure, I'm ez...
Maybe Jack, James, and Vince had a bad hair day, too... and really meant to name their most powerful machine after a tree climbin' chicken thief instead of a tunneler with amazing digging speed?
 
Gee, there are generations of Hispanics that have called a badger, 'tejon'. Guess they were all wrong. A racoon in spanish is a, 'mapache'. These are not my words but my wife's cousin. He teaches Spanish at the high school level and at the University of New Mexico during the summer.
 
the new Toyota car commercial that involves a man placed in the driver's seat with a sleeping badger in the front passenger seat that will "gnaw your face off" if the sound insulation of the cab doesn't keep outside noise from reaching the badger and waking it up? It's pretty funny.
