Tombstonepatty Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 I want to buy the SPP but who would be a reliable seller. I am on the East coast right now. Thanks patty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridge Runner Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 Patty I don’t know how much money you want to spend but I don’t need to know. White’s has what they call a TDI SL with Miner John’s coil on it called Special for about 1100.00. If you check around you could find a regular TDI SL at a good price. It was a limited number of the SPP and when they were all sold they were history. White’s made them for a market other than US and they didn’t sell. Now I have a SPP with the two coils it came with. I have a have a early model of the Sadie coil on the way to me now. If you would be interested just PM me and we can talk about it. A new detector is like a new car and it has a great new smell coming from it. I’m just saying if you got the money go buy you a new detector.

GB_Amateur Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 Apologize if I'm telling you something you already know. The TDI/SPP and the TDI/SL are the same with a few exceptions: 1) No conductivity switch on the SPP, 2) no delay adjustment on the SPP, 3) different standard coils -- SL has the 12 inch dual field; SPP has the 12 inch mono and a 6 inch mono. The used market prices on Ebay don't show a big difference between the two. Over the last 3 months the prices are in the $600-$800 range, with some variation due to number of coils or added accessories, and other variations which are just the nature of online buying/selling. The sold count (I only look at sold listings) for working units is 1 SPP (ended just last week) and 6 SL's. The heavier, nicknamed 'big box' versions (original Pulse Scan TDI and the Pro) are more expensive on average but the price range of the original does overlap that of the SL. Bidding on the Pro models has been spirited (approachin the new price) and they don't come up often. The $1100 special White's is running (mentioned above by Ridge Runner) is a pretty good deal if you want to go for brand new, full warranty. That Miner John coil is highly regarded and for many applications possibly the best choice if you're going the single coil route. But if the budget is tight, the used market is reasonable, IMO.

Ridge Runner Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 GB Amatuer The 12” coil I got from Jimmy Sierra with my SPP don’t say but looks like a dual field coil to me. I got the 6” coil with it too, One thing about the SPP it’s as simple as it gets but yet a great detector for the money. Chuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GB_Amateur Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 36 minutes ago, Ridge Runner said: The 12” coil I got from Jimmy Sierra with my SPP don’t say but looks like a dual field coil to me. I think the TDI dual field 12 inch and the TDI mono 12 inch (also called 'Oz' and 'Aussie') are indistinguishable with one possible exception (labeling) and a second more conclusive exception: whether or not there is a copper coil on the inner ring. The easy way to determine is to use a handheld pinpointer and investigate if the inner ring contains metal. If 'yes' it's the dual field, otherwise it's the mono. White's also makes two small (7.5 inch) format coils in both dual field and mono. But the 6 inch that came with the SPP is a mono. I've opened mine up and modified it (adding weight so it would sink in water) and can confirm that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridge Runner Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 Now you got my interest up and I got to check this out. Chuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridge Runner Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 Got home and the first thing was check my coil . It looked to be a dual field coil but that all it is just looks. Chuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridge Runner Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 I do remember now when I got the TDI the coil said on it Dual Field. When I got the SPP and seeing the same looking coil all I said was great. I guess this didn’t come to my attention because of it sitting in the corner most of the time. Old saying is seeing is believing but in this case you can’t believe what you see. Oh well it was and still is going strong at a great price. It’s like that Special TDI SL with Miner John’s coil on it and it too is a great price. My problem is I don’t like the tan color! Me they could have stayed with black. I know to some that may sound stupid but again that’s me. Maybe my Mama bounce me on my head when I was a baby ?. Chuck PS White’s all I can is next time you make a big decision like that you really need to call me. I been thinking what would be a good name for the Special. Hang on after this they will be flying off the shelf. T D I SSL and leave it black Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
