No Craig, i will pull the trigger on a detector of my choice, waiting , kicking back, you pull the trigger. It will be the CT TDI musketeer's howboutit. Getting old Craig, if i am going to dig 2 foot creator's at the beach , which down here might be a problem, i want to know if gold is at the bottom, i am not impressed with the battery system in this machine, Steve is wright , Whites should have made a 10 pack , here is another example, in Surf Pi Df , they use the same mickey mouse 8 pack holder , that's in my 1976 coinmaster, they brake , broke 2 so far , and have to fix the mickey mouse connector to the battery pack, I see the Manta-- same not enough battery, just like a boat motor , put on the max for me, don't under power it, i want the power their , it's cheaper that's why they do it to cut a few cents'. might wait to see what Minelab bring's , as they all way's come out in front of the pack, if you get a TDI like Mark, and George, good luck with it, just can't see you digging 2 foot on a regular basis, I am going to pump the DF - up to 15 volt's, never go past 18, and closer to 18 does cut's down on the components life span , maybe than ill get two foot
out of my DF , think about it- both DF and TDI, basically the same component's- you change to a higher voltage battery, Both -can do More, instead of running 8 - 1.5AA batteries the depth will change google it , like i did. That's the reason the signal is louder with more voltage , your able to hear target's at greater depth. I will test this, as other people have done already , the info is out their. Maybe try it yourself, you still have your DF with the same COIL, opps if it's true , the DF keep's up with the TDI
The secret TDI sauce buster. Anyway found out batteries really not available , only packs, saw 1.6 volt , lithium 3.6, but really dont want to run those with blanks.
