Who Makes TDI Coils For Jimmy Sierra?

Well, right now I think either White's or Miner John (Razorback). The Jimmy Sierra coils pictured on his website at http://jimmysierra.com/tdi_loops_menuC.html have Miner John stickers on them, except the T-Foot. Not sure about that one. The sticker on it says made in Sweet Home, where White's factory is located.

The Dual Field 6 x 9? That started as a White's labeled coil.

Then Jimmy took it over for awhile.

I think the story is Dan Guyer at White's made the initial TDI specialty coils. Dan was the White's PI guru. Unfortunately he passed away, and I think that was the end of those coils, and then Jimmy went to Miner John. Could be wrong on that, just vague memory and best guess.

Dan Guyer also made a hand full of TDI 4x6 mono "shooter" coils (yep, same plastic housing as the goldmaster shooter coil) and I have found more small nuggets with this loop than any other TDI coil. Its been my experience, no matter how nasty the ground is I can run my TDI SL at max sensitivity / GB  "off" swinging this coil. When I heard Dan had died (God rest his soul) I heard that Whites had little interest building  his TDI specialty coils. What a shame but not surprising.

Picky point Steve, but your graphic lists the T Foot as a single field and its a dual field coil.  The prior and no longer made version called Big Foot was a single field, I believe.

Want to hear the funny part there? First, you are correct - good catch and I fixed the graphic. Second, I grabbed the image from White's website at http://whiteselectronics.net/pulseloops.png The original is incorrect!

I actually had a Bigfoot TDI coil at one point and it was single field. I did not know the T Foot was different.

I do not like inaccurate information and want none on this website if at all possible. I appreciate you pointing that out Tom
