Diving Counterweight For TDI Beachhunter

The only detectors that White's made that are worth continuing are the MXT-based designs (GM-24k, MX-Sport, MX5, etc), the TRX pinpointer, and the TM808. Garrett is making the GM-24k and I expect they will not make any other MX models. I think they will never make the TRX because it adds nothing to their already-dominant position. The TM808 would be a good addition, maybe they'll eventually add that one. Otherwise, I'm at a loss as to why Garrett bought them in the first place.

My point exactly, after all, the TDI detectors - I think - are pretty good so why not them?  I bought one. I have faith in it. It's not a miracle device and I'm going to have to work my ass off but it's a start and I am always looking for something deep detecting because when we get sanded in all you're going to get is spit.  If Garrett did something with the V3I technology, it might have something to go up against the Minelab CTX 3030.

They probably have a better PI design in the ATX, but it's overweight and desperately needs a new body. The V3 was a marvel of software development but the hardware was sub-par. I doubt anyone will be able to take the existing design and do much with it.

Oh well stated, the ATX is 6.9 lb as far as I know, and that is heavy even the moment you pick it up. Unfortunately it can't be separated into pieces with one of them on your belt or somewhere else so you are carrying all that weight on your arm - even with my Minelab harness that will not necessarily be a lot of fun.  There are not too many metal detecting companies innovating these days, with XP probably leading the way and Minelab a distance second.
