Whites TDI Pro, let the testing begin.

Good choice on the machine Nugget and it won't let you down once you get use to the settings. The new vid will show Liz unearthing quite a few nuggets with it, and she wouldn't swap it for any other machine on the market.......can't even get her to use my 5000,

Now all you need to do is get yourself over here to WA for serious practice session.....

Cheers Wal.

That's awesome, I may have to tag along with you next year, we'll call ourselves WalnLiznNugget :lol:

Don't you just wanan hug it?

 

[Nugget]

Who says I'm not :lol:

 

[Sparra]

Shame to get it dirty really...

Nugget, Time to change your avatar.

 

[Jaros]

Thanks Nugget, it looks a beaut.

Can you get 2 even rubber spacers for the coil mount? instead of one making it offset like it is.
Might be worth getting some velcro strips and winding that cord on nice and even too

Maybe, but I don't think it would make any real difference. The spacer in the pic is the one that was supplied for the Sadie, the standard coil doesn't need it.

I did a quick air test the other day and had written the results down a piece of paper, but it seems the wife has taken said piece of paper and used it as a shopping list or something

Anyway, I do recall the 1 grammer picking up at around the 6" mark using the external speaker with a barely audible threshold, and the 0.13 grammer still maintained it's 2-3 inches depending on where it was positioned under the coil.

I'm planning on seeing how it performs over the weekend so hopefully I'll have a few wild nuggets to show you guys

Hey Nugget,

I ve just bought a SDC2300 and will be testing it as well this weekend.

Lets hope we both have something for show n tell Monday morning!

good to see your moving the grass nugget, have fun with the TDI , I have a 14 x 9 coiltec goldstalker on mine and goes well.

 

[Tails]

Sorry nugget that was mowing the grass not moving it.

 

[Nugget]

Thanks Tails, I guess you haven't found the edit button then :lol:

I took the TDI Pro away for a few days and was quite impressed how it handled the highly mineralised ground up at Hanging Rock / Nundle. No gold this trip unfortunately but it picked up on plenty of tiny lead shot and wire at decent depth, so I'm pretty confident if there was gold under the coil it would have told me about it.

I think that an Excalibur lower stem would solve the need for a big spacer with the Sadie, or any other NF, Coiltek or Commander coils.

Thanks Nenad, I'll keep it in mind.

[Nugget]

No problem Nikos. I've just posted up some air testing results here https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=7795

P.S. The more I use and test this machine, the more happy I become with my purchase.
