Selecting the right optional searchcoil depends on factors such as what you are searching for and
search site conditions. No one searchcoil is better than all the rest. Several optional
interchangeable searchcoils are available for the Tejón. They are all easy to mount and require no
special tools. See the next page for a list of these searchcoils with the Tesoro part # and
description.

Headphones
Most metal detectorists prefer to use headphones instead of the detector's built-in speaker.
Headphones help block out background noise (such as wind) and make it easier to hear faint
signals. Headphones with a builtin volume control will allow you to adjust the sound volume to
your preference.
