Tesoro -vs- Whites MTX

[jhnbaker]

I am considering the Tejon or the MTX and am wondering what the pros of relic hunting and coin hunting would be with both. Of course the Tejon is less expensive and I hear nothing but great things about it but I am concerned with the constant ground balancing as well as the fact that the MXT will tell you what is there before you get it even to the point of saying buckle bullet etc. The Tejon on the other hand is supposed to be a deeper detecting machine? I will not only relic hunt but do some coin hunting as well. Another question would be how much deeper would the Tejon detect on average related to relics than the MXT?Has anyone had experiences with both side by side? Tony from TC Metal Detectors seems to think that the Tejon is far and away the best thing for relics and he seems like a great guy and really knowledgeable about the topic. I probably will buy whatever I get from him. What does everyone think? TIA

....Tony is right, the Tejon would be my choice between the two as well. However, an awful lot depends an where you are relic hunting, type of soil, and your willingness to "listen to the tones" and allow your "brain to be the #1 discriminator".

The Tejon is extremely HOT, and will punch down deeper than the MXT. I use both depending on the above mentioned factors.

Good luck with your purchase.
