Steve Herschbach Posted January 8, 2014 Author Share Posted January 8, 2014 I own Eureka Prospecting Supplies, I do all my Detectors from my home office for now. You can come by anytime my number is 775-846-6357. I will be setting up a rack in the shop for them soon. I carry Minelab, Whites, Fisher, Garrett, Tesoro and normally have all the Gold detectors in stock. OK, thanks. So you must be Ken Walls? I will look you up for sure and see what you have. That way I know where to send people - I try and support the local guy.

Reno Chris Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 So there is actually 3 tdi's, the TDI, TDI PRO, and the SL. Also the fourth version - the TDI they call a GMT SuperPulse. (although its generally not available here in the US).

Steve Herschbach Posted January 10, 2014 Author Share Posted January 10, 2014 The GMT SuperPulse is a stripped down TDI SL. Locked into ground balance mode, factory preset at Pulse Delay of 10, no Target Conductivity switch. So just get a TDI SL, leave it in ground balance mode, leave the Pulse Delay set at 10, and leave the Target Conductivity switch set for both, and you are good to go. I heard a rumor Jimmy Sierra can get them. I guess I should call and find out. Would not be a bad unit if the price was low enough.

Tom Harris Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 Steve. Does your TDI have a belt clip on it, and if so do you find that a useful option. Also I see were they made a about 6x10 eliptical dual field mono coil for it. In Arizona/ Socal, would that be a useful coil to have?

Steve Herschbach Posted January 10, 2014 Author Share Posted January 10, 2014 Mine does have the hip mount clip on it - all TDI and TDI Pro models do I believe. The SL is rod mount only. I do like hip mounting it but I push it back over my wallet pocket. That way it is not in way when I bend over. It also comes with clips for chest mounting and I am going to rig a harness for that. It keeps the controls more accessible and less prone to getting knocked around. It also puts less strain on the coil cable where it enters the control box. Hip mounting tends to be hard on cables. The 6x9 is a good coil. There is a reason that size coil comes on so many nugget detectors. Just a good size, covers ground sweeping sideways, narrow for poking into places, and solid so as to not hang up on stuff.

Tom Harris Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 I,m looking at a couple of used TDI's, one of them had the elliptical mono, so before Ipulled the trigger thought I would check to see if it was worth the extra money. thanks Tom Link to comment https://www.detectorprospector.com/topic/45-lots-of-gold-found-with-the-whites-tdi/page/2/#findComment-404 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Watkins Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 Hi steve looking at a used tdi pro , do you think the 12 in.coil would be good for the ground at winn.that we have to cover the acres? There is a smaller coil comes with it. Just want to cover square ft. the ground here should let this unit work pretty well dont you think?

Steve Herschbach Posted January 14, 2014 Author Share Posted January 14, 2014 Hi Rick, I honestly think that in low to moderate ground you may as well just use a mid-frequency VLF in all metal mode as a TDI. An MXT would probably do as well there in Prospect mode. What is it about a TDI there that you were hoping to achieve? I did not think the ground around Winnemucca was all that hot. I was running my GMT at max gain and it ran fine, if a little noisy on the ground. An MXT should run pretty smooth there. If you want I could meet you there with my TDI sometime. Unless you have a really good deal on a TDI and are wanting to pull the trigger. If I can use a VLF instead of a TDI I will use the VLF. If the hot rocks are making the VLF go bonkers, that is reason to break out a TDI. Just my opinion on that subject. 1 Link to comment https://www.detectorprospector.com/topic/45-lots-of-gold-found-with-the-whites-tdi/page/2/#findComment-473 Share on other sites More sharing options...
