.... will get back to SW Fla early this afternoon. As soon as I can, I'll count my meager find of bullets for Craig's contest.
Was fun spending time with Butch, Pam, Craig, Jim, and of course my buddy Keith from PA. That's where I am right now ... at Keith's house.
Keith was using the new White's TDI final prototype pulse delay with discrimination. Wow, that machine was finding even small stuff deep in that hot ground .... like a percussion cap at 6 to 8". I know that does not sound deep for normal ground, but in this hot ground that's unbelievable.
We did a little test .... The TDI found a target that was guessed to be a mini ball. Before it was dug we scanned the location with an MXT and a Minelab. Neither even got the threshhold to warble or move. Then the target found by the TDI was dug to find a 69 cal mini at 8 to 10" deep.
That will be a very popular machine for relic hunters in bad ground. No real advantage for folks to use a TDI in friendly ground.
