(White's TRX) also performs better if you use the rectangular 9v battery as opposed to AA batteries.

Wow, that's news to me.  Going to have to try that out.  Two AA's is so much cheaper I've gone that route since buying mine.  They even deliver them with two AA's (and no 9V).

Phrunt, try a master reset to see if it makes any difference to the sensitivity.

I use a Whites TRX and find it excellent. If you put a 5 cent piece just below the handle the depth capability which is already impressive, approximately doubles. You can just hold it there but I stuck one on with a dab of silicone.

More details please, not sure I understand exactly what you mean. Photo would be helpful if you can.

Is the PI more sensitive to small gold? Anyone have a Carrot and F-point they can compare?

I think on the pinpointers the Rx is on the tip and Tx above that so adding metal to it like taping a coin to the side (preferably an uncirculated morgan dollar) might add to the Tx signal. That's my guess :)
