Need A New Pi For Beach Detecting
pjrough replied to Hard Prospector's topic in Metal Detector Advice & Comparisons
As Skully mentioned, the White's TDI BH was a great option for jewlery hunting, except for the coil, which was big, floaty, and not swappable. A couple of years ago, we, a group of PI enthusiasts, inspired the Ukrainian manufacturer Seaghost to design the bulletproof housing with the option to swap coils. One machine was modified and delivered (it is up for sale in Spain). But the plans were interrupted due to the Russian invasion. My own TDI was not finished, and it was left in the city of Mariupol. https://www.instagram.com/p/CZt6JAEKEKB/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=N2ViNmM2MDRjNw== -
Has The Sea Ghost Housing Been Discussed On This Forum?

Hi, you could get your oem housing from seaghost if you want to. Just get in touch with the manufacturer on Instagram. You can pay via PayPal and he will ship your housing worldwide (with a couple of exceptions). On top of that you could re-pack your equinox in seaghost housing by yourself, just check a couple of last videos from the Instagram page you see in the post you're quoting. -
Hi, KurtInRI I routed the cable inside the shaft of my waterproof ETRAC. please find some pictures following the link, I hope it is self-explanatory. (I used original etrac shaft and DIY 3d printed parts) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGdjIKQH2PF/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link https://www.instagram.com/p/ByjjDMTiYKl/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link https://www.instagram.com/p/Bo05-2XBEYf/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link https://www.instagram.com/p/BklKAN6AcMb/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link https://www.instagram.com/p/BiBYMPIFZx6/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

Diving Counterweight For TDI Beachhunter
pjrough replied to pjrough's topic in White's Metal Detectors
I am using TDI BH under water for a couple of years now. 1,5 years back the could leaked, so I got a replacement of complete detector. Future plan is to do some serious waterproofing: -
Hello Joe, great job. Plastic head ip68 pushbuttons are not so good quality. You definitively have to check this one: Switchcraft Series 913 Sealed Push Button Switch. It is IP68 rated when mounted on a panel. It has a great built quality and a rubber boot to seal the momentary switch. Ibhave used these in my etrac build back in 2015....

Very loud and well-built. Coiled cable is soft. -

This eq mod is not really for diving, but you can easily take it 10m deep. Headphones a pretty loud. -

Bad news, S.g.diver. water is inside, so you really have to check the circuit board carefully to see any damage. One of my whites TDIBH went to the service and was change by new tdi past summer. No water inside, but unstable threshold and falsing... Suspected coil leakage. These machines turned to be rare nowadays, at least my dealer got rid of all whites products due to Whites shutdown.

It is nearly impossible to get one TDI pro in Europe, Joe. A part looks like TDI pro would give little benefit to these who hunt snorkeling or wading, because even TDI SL reacts quite much on the surf, so you have to crank up pulse delay to get rid of false signals.

Thanks for info. It's boyant, I know. I counterweight it rather than open. Don't like to modify coils.... The mod was not done by me, by the way. But yes, mainly because of me.

Here is one i bought not long ago. Telescopic rod is a good compact solution then you don't do a waterhunt. This one will be done in salt water in just a couple of hunts....
