Daniel, I forgot to ask, somewhere I read something that sounded like there was an in line switchable pin pointer for the TDI. (Switch one way to here detector coil audio thru the detector switch the other way to here the pin pointer thru the detector) . I have a sunray in line on my E-trac and it give the same sounds while pin pointing that you here on the detector. Do you have one or are you f

Daniel, Since last night I've read the instruction manuals on the TDI,TDI PRO, and the TDI SL. Other than weight and maybe fine GB adjust there's not much difference between the three that I can see. Steve H. said the original TDI was deeper than the TDI SL. After reading the manuals and your experience it looks to me that you can disc. targets at least as good as some VLF's. Can y

Daniel, on the previous post you said "A TDI with stock coil would get you down to about 11-12 inches on coin sized objects in any soil type." My CTX3030 gets a dime at 4" in worst soil about 7" in best soil. Do you think that I can add about 3-4" better than the Ctx in this bad soil? Thanks

Tom, On your forum a few pages over, someone showed using a minelab GPX 5000 going behind his e-trac to find deep targets. After marking with golf Tees targets found with GPX 5000, anything that the E-trac wouldn't hit, he would dig using the inline sunray X1 pinpointer to determine co - fe #s after diging a hole. After reading a lot on your forum (by the way ,I learned more here than anywhe

Tom, Do any of the PI's or the two VLF's you mentioned have depth VDI readings. If I come behind my CTX3030 I would like to know that I was targeting something deeper than what my CTX had detected.

I've read all of Tom's info. on the CZ3D and would love to have one if it fits my need in this bad soil here in Alabama. I have two good detectors Minelab E-trac and CTX3030,however,they only reach 4-6 inches in most places because of the bad soil.In some areas of the state I have got a lot of good coins down to 7 inches.Around Birmingham I do good to reach 4 inches.I would like to find
