I nearly always dig deep "test" holes to see if I am dealing with this "crappy stuff" because from the surface, you would never know it's there and can't work out why your detector is behaving so squirrelly! I sometimes wondered where a machine will GB to....the top surface (being neutral) or the black magnetic stuff further down? Oooohhhhh White's..........you're killin' me.....? Luckily it's winter down here so I can wait (a bit)... Tony Most machines that have a single ground balance point will balance to a combination of what's under the coil. White sand usually lacks the type of minerals detectors look at for ground balancing, so I would guess that you will be balancing out mostly the black sand. Here we have some difficult beach areas with black sand, basalt rocks, and then of course the conductive salt. Definitely pulse territory! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerry Freeman-Smith Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 First trip out with my Tdi beachunter and it’s freaking awesome.threshold is as smooth as my ctx 3030, but this bad boy is way deeper and the tones are wicked. Clad coins come in with a low tone but with high tones at the edges. I’m totally blown away with it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V3i/MXT Pro Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 Any word from White's engineering if the new TDI BeachHunter can handle the 14.4v Li-ion (Reidman) battery? I'm assuming it's the same as TDI SL and there is no voltage regulator? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
