Hi all,
I got a chance to swing for about 2 hours after work this morning and wanted to give the new TDI a try in an area I know used to hold a lot of later wheats and even a few silver but that I hunted long and hard with the CTX in the past. The CTX struggled in this area to get the coins even with the 17 inch coil. Lots of trash, buried sewer and power lines don't help the situation.
So after digging lots of iron trash and high conductor items I started figuring the machine out a little more and scored a wheatie at about 7 inches. A little more tweaking of the settings and off I went to get a total of 5 wheats that the CTX missed, oldest being a 1941. Also got a nice marble and part of a horseshoe. For some reason I don't think I'm seeing the great depth the TDI is reputed to have. Maybe it's the site, or maybe it's the driver, guess I'll have to wait and see. But all in all I'm quite happy!
