wjbell Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 Second time out with the TDI and we went to probably the hottest pit around. Serpentine bedrock everywhere. Moved some rocks and this area was littered with nails. Cleared out all the nails and about 2 1/2" down was this little .3 dwt nugget. Not a big find but was happy to find out the TDI can handle hot ground with no problems, hardly even heard the ground. I took my GMT there a couple weeks ago and could hardly even put the coil to the ground. Even with that stock 12" coil it's pretty sedative. We threw down a .1 dwt test nugget directly on serpentine and I could hear it about 1.5". Edit: sensitive.The sedative was in a glass with ice that evening :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Dorado Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 That's great, good to know that there is a bit less of an expensive PI machine that really works! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigrex Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 Maybe it will continue to shine in the junky, hot rock areas that most will tend to avoid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
